About Jim

My name is Jim Ellis, and I coach men’s competitive gymnastics at GymTek Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am also an athlete (former level 10 gymnast) and runner! During the COVID pandemic, I picked up running as a hobby. I was barely able to run a quarter mile in 2020 to being able to complete a 100 mile race in 2024 still blows my mind. I’ve developed so much more mental strength, greater health, and discipline since my running journey. Running has completely changed my life for the better and I’d love to help others change theirs.
