Owner of EPIK Athletics and Head Coach of PGA

I am excited to share the sport I love with the Middletown Community. I have met so many amazing families and gymnasts throughout my journey. I have coached gymnastics for over 20 years from recreational classes to competitive team Level 9. My favorite event to coach is bars but my absolute favorite class to teach is 9+ Beginners. I love watching kids at any age, gain their skills and see the excitement in their eyes. Gymnastics has given me so many wonderful opportunities and I love being able to share them with the community.

Women’s Competitive Team

Coach Talia grew up in Orange County and attended Goshen Schools. She started gymnastics when she was 1 ½ in a Parent-Tot Class. She was an active child growing up and was involved in multiple sports, gymnastics, dance, ballet, jazz, baton twirling, swimming girls scouts and band! When she was 6 years old, she joined a gymnastics team and competed USAG up to Level 9. After retiring in 2007, she sated to coach the sport she loves.​

She was a Level 10 gymnasts who graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a degree in Exercise Science and Psychology. Nicole competed on their Gymnastics Team as Queen of the Beam! Gymnastics is her favorite sport and she loves coaching the next generation of gymnasts! 

With over a decade of Taekwondo training, five years of competitive experience, and seven years of instructing, I bring a deep understanding of discipline, technique, and mentorship. I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps for five years and continue to serve in the Army Reserves as a Detachment NCO in a deployable surgical unit, demonstrating leadership, adaptability, and operational expertise.

Beyond military service, I have spent five years as a professional stuntman, showcasing exceptional athleticism, precision, and performance under pressure. Additionally, I have dedicated two years to coaching both Ninja Warrior and gymnastics, helping athletes develop strength, agility, and resilience. My diverse background reflects a commitment to excellence, teamwork, and pushing physical and mental boundaries.
