Echo Johnson

Owner / Head Coach &

Recreational Director

Echo Johnson has been married for five years to her husband Craig and has four beautiful daughters.  She recently moved back to Alamogordo, where she was introduced to gymnastics by her best friend in the 2nd grade.  Echo was a competitive gymnast for over ten years, in Alamogordo, NM, and Greeley, CO.  She transitioned from a gymnast to a coach as her career began winding down and has had the opportunity to coach at multiple gyms in Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.  Her favorite part of being a coach is seeing a student get a skill and being part of that "aha" moment, where the drills, conditioning, and perseverance all come tougher to make that moment happen.  Echo is excited to be sharing her love for gymnastics and cheer with her hometown community.  She hopes that Xtreme Amplitude becomes a place that not only teaches student skills for gymnastics but also helps them to succeed in all aspects of their life.
