With over 20 years under her belt of running her businesses, entrepreneur Katie Cannon has gone from being a 5x British Champion to a 7-figure entrepreneur.
My journey into gymnastics started at the tender age of 4. My mother took me to a gymnastics class and my passion and love for it stemmed from there. I do not think that my or my mother’s wildest dreams would have gone on to become a 5 time British Gymnastics Champion. I also represented Great Britain at the World and European championships on 2 separate occasions. In between all my competitive success, I completed a degree in Sports Science and Nutrition.
​
In 2008 I decided to set up Backflip Gymnastics after a short stint as a Personal Trainer. I was teaching gymnastics to a handful of children. Fast forward to today, Backflip Gymnastics is now teaching gymnastics to over 2000 children and I have a team of 15 fantastic staff. Just as my business has grown, I have grown along with it. I have learnt bucketfuls over the last 15 years, I have lost money on premises which haven’t worked and hired the wrong staff just to name a few. There were many times when I thought is this worth it but I 100% knew it would be one day.
Through my experience of growing my gyms, classes and online brands over the last 15 years, I am extremely passionate about sharing my knowledge and coaching others to succeed in their business.
​
I knew I could share so much of my knowledge of what works, what doesn’t, and the failures, and the successes from my experience. I was always being asked to help and coach people in their gyms, studios, and online businesses and knew I could help more people.​
