OUR STORY. OUR PASSION. OUR DREAM.
From coaching side by side for eight years to turning our dream into reality and opening our own gym, Athletic Edge was built on a shared passion for coaching and helping athletes grow.
Our vision has always been to create a welcoming, supportive environment where ALL athletes belong, regardless of their team or gym affiliation.
Whether you cheer, compete in STUNT, or tumble, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
We believe coaching is about so much more than teaching skills. It’s about building confidence, encouraging hard work, creating lasting relationships, and teaching valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the gym.
We are so proud to share our passion with our athletes and families, and we can’t wait to welcome YOU to Athletic Edge!
OUR MISSION/VISION
At Athletic Edge, we believe that cheer, STUNT, and tumbling are about so much more than learning new skills. They’re about building confidence, developing character, overcoming challenges, and learning lessons that will last a lifetime.
Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of every athlete who walks through our doors. We want our athletes to celebrate their successes, learn from their struggles, push beyond their comfort zones, and discover just how much they are capable of.
We know that the lessons learned in the gym go far beyond sports. Hard work, dedication, teamwork, resilience, and respect are qualities we hope every athlete carries with them long after their time at Athletic Edge.
Safety will always be our number one priority. We are committed to providing knowledgeable coaches, proper training, and a positive environment where athletes can learn, grow, and feel supported.
Above all, we want Athletic Edge to be a place where athletes feel confident, families feel welcome, and everyone feels like they belong.
Because to us, it’s about more than building better athletes. It’s about building better people.
Meet The Owners
Shaylyn Burke
Owner I Coach
Jamie Chatham
Owner I Coach
Shay’s love for gymnastics began at just 3 years old, and she continued training throughout her childhood. At 14, she expanded her passion for athletics into cheerleading and diving during her high school years.
With a strong foundation in gymnastics and experience in cheerleading, Shay discovered that her true passion wasn’t just performing the skills herself, but sharing her knowledge and helping others succeed.
19 years later, her love for coaching is just as strong as when she started.
For Shay, coaching is about so much more than teaching tumbling skills. It’s about watching an athlete finally master something they’ve worked so hard for, seeing their confidence grow, and helping them believe in themselves even when they think they can’t do it.
Her goal has always been to create a positive, encouraging environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and proud of their progress.
Nothing makes her happier than watching her athletes accomplish something they once thought was impossible.
Jamie’s love for cheerleading and tumbling began at just 5 years old. Throughout her athletic career, she experienced it all — from youth cheer and All Star cheerleading to high school cheer and even cheering professionally for the Oakland Raiders!
With a lifelong passion for the sport, Jamie naturally found her way into coaching. For the past 12 years, she has worked with athletes of all ages and skill levels, sharing her knowledge, building their confidence, and helping them reach their goals.
After spending three years coaching a local high school STUNT team, Jamie discovered a whole new passion for the sport. She quickly fell in love with the competition, teamwork, and opportunities STUNT provides for female athletes. She knew she wanted to help grow the sport and give more athletes the chance to experience it.
For Jamie, coaching is about more than teaching skills or winning competitions. It’s about building relationships, encouraging athletes to push themselves, and watching them grow both on and off the mat.
Her greatest reward is seeing athletes discover their potential, gain confidence, and fall in love with the sports that have been such a big part of her own life.
