Jennifer Brown
Owner - Head Coach
Meet Jennifer Brown, a dynamic individual whose journey in athletics and community service has left an indelible mark. From a young age, Jenni demonstrated an innate passion for gymnastics, beginning her athletic journey at the tender age of 5. It was in the world of tumbling that she discovered her love for the sport, setting the stage for a remarkable athletic career. In fourth grade, Jennifer transitioned to sports acrobatics, where her dedication to the gym became even more apparent. For the next six years, she competed in various disciplines, excelling in sports acrobatics, power tumbling, and trampoline. High school brought a new chapter as she joined an all-star cheer team, uncovering a newfound appreciation for the spirited and competitive side of cheerleading. Life took Jennifer on a different course when she became a mother, temporarily setting aside her passion for athletics. However, her love for the sport endured, leading her back to the gym, this time as a coach. For the past three years, Jennifer has served as the Director of Oakwood Youth Cheer, contributing her expertise and enthusiasm to the next generation of athletes. In 2023, Jennifer, alongside her business partner Britni Walker, embarked on a new venture by co-founding Ground Zero Athletics. This endeavor reflects her commitment to fostering a positive and thriving athletic community. Beyond the gym, Jennifer wears multiple hats as a full-time Realtor with Exp Realty and the Ellison Group. Her dedication to her professional career is matched only by her passion for community involvement. Whether coaching cheerleading or working in real estate, Jennifer's commitment to people and the community shines through. She actively participates in various community events and lends her support to numerous charitable initiatives throughout the Miami Valley. When not immersed in the world of athletics and real estate, Jennifer cherishes precious moments with her two children. Her life is a testament to the harmonious blend of passion, dedication, and a genuine love for uplifting others both in the gym and the community at large.
Britni Walker
Owner - Head Coach
As a coach, Britni finds sheer joy in guiding her athletes through the intricacies of tumbling, perhaps her favorite aspect of cheerleading. It's not just a sport for her; it's a way of giving back to the community she holds dear. But Britni's interests don't stop at the gym. Venture outside, and you might just catch her at the barn, where she finds solace in riding her horse. There's a unique blend of tranquility and energy in the equestrian world that perfectly complements her dynamic cheerleading spirit. Beyond her roles at the gym and the barn, Britni proudly wears the hat of a dance mom. Supporting her daughters in their dance endeavors is not just a commitment—it's a labor of love.
Excitement radiates from Britni when she talks about Ground Zero Athletics. It's not just about acquiring new skills within the gym; it's about witnessing personal growth both inside and outside those four walls. For Britni, coaching is about nurturing not only athletic abilities but also the development of confidence, discipline, and resilience in each athlete.
