Picture of the Bailey family
Jacob & Jordan Bailey / Owners

We are Jacob & Jordan Bailey and we had the privilege of buying the Central Oregon Gymnastics in 2021 and carrying on the legacy that’s been building here at COGA for over 23 years. We have 2 daughters who have been involved in gymnastics for years. They both started out as little ones in tots programs and are now both on the competitive team here at COGA. We have invested a lot in this sport and it’s become a huge part of our family. We were both athletes all through school and believe in the powerful and positive affects sports have on shaping kids into well rounded, awesome humans. We also run an action sports non-profit (Truck Stop Action Sports) with a focus on youth camps & instruction at the local skateparks during the summer and school holidays. We’ve been active with the programs for 7+ years and know first-hand what it means to pour time and energy in to the kids in our community. We are so excited for COGA to be another opportunity to engage with youth in Central Oregon!

Rowan Hauber
Manager / Pre-Team Coach

Rowan has been a gymnastic coach at COGA since the start of 2019. She competed at United Gymnastics in Maryland before moving to Oregon in middle school. Rowan is passionate about the stretching and strength building blocks of gymnastics. Her favorite event is Floor because it can translate to other activities and you don’t necessarily need any equipment.

Brandi Jacobson  / Head Competitive Team Coach

Our head coach Brandi has been in love with gymnastics since she was just a toddler. From Mommy and me classes as a child to competing at the young age of 8 years old, she continued on as a competitive gymnast all the way to level 10, then she decided to retire - but that didn't last long! She missed gymnastics so much she started coaching right out of high school and coached for 5 years before taking a break to pursue a massage therapy career. She ultimately missed coaching so much and was excited to get back into the gymnastics world with COGA! With her massage therapy background she is able to help the girls not only recover from injuries but help prevent them with her understanding of the body and sports physiology. She is dedicated to having happy, healthy, and strong gymnasts that love being in the gym as much as she does!

Hollie Helvey
