Biography

Early Gymnastics Days

Morgan Rose Moroney was extremely active and energetic since she was a child. She said; “As a child, I was found cartwheeling around home, whilst most children were still learning roly-polys”.

Seeing their daughter’s love for acrobatics, Morgan’s parents decided to throw her into the world of gymnastics. After her first day at the local gymnastics center, Morgan was thrilled and wanted to keep going.



Becoming an Acrobatic Gymnast

Since her first training session, Morgan continued practicing gymnastics for the following 12 years.

Despite having a small build, Morgan was incredibly strong for her size; this was noticed by the gymnastics coaches who asked her if she wanted to join the Acrobatic Gymnastics discipline. Morgan said yes.

Looking back now, Morgan says this was one of her best decisions, because it improved her flexibility and acrobatics techniques unlike anything else. She said;

“To this day, I attribute most if not all of my flexibility and technique to my acrobatic training.”



Putting in the Work

Morgan’s time as an acrobatic gymnast lasted for several years. During this period, she improved her flexibility, strength, and skill to a high level. However, reaching this was by no means easy.

Morgan says, during her days as an acrobatic gymnast, she trained during both day and night, up to 40 hours per week. She had to sacrifice the usual things girls her age did, such as partying, having fun with friends, and watching movies.

But looking back now, Morgan says she doesn’t regret a single moment of her hard work. “It was all worth it as I went on to win 8 National Titles during that period”.

End of Gymnastics (And Starting College)

Morgan’s days in gymnastics came to a close after her high-school graduation. Her parents decided that she should focus on academia instead of continuing to pursue new medals as a gymnast.

Although upset at first, Morgan was grateful to finally have an opportunity to have more free time to spend with her friends, and not worry about sports or competitions.

“As upsetting as quitting gymnastics was, I had a life where I could spend time doing all the things I had rarely ever had time to do in the past. My interests went elsewhere and I had pushed away the sport that had consumed my life for so long.”

Shortly after graduating high school, Morgan moved to Gold Coast, Australia where she started her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science.



Turning to Calisthenics

During her time as a college student, Morgan juggled her exams with being a part-time gymnastics coach. However, it was around this period she realized she wanted something more.

“I met a very inspiring person who I started training with regularly and he opened my eyes to the sport of Calisthenics and the movement he had founded – AMPM. AMPM = Art of Motion, Pursuit of Movement.”

After meeting the person who introduced her to calisthenics, Morgan quickly fell in love with the new activity. It wasn’t long before calisthenics turned into her passion. “I lived and breathed it,” says Morgan.

Inspired by the AMPM movement, Morgan got back into her gymnastics routine focusing on her strength and flexibility in addition to training calisthenics.

An Unexpected Fame

Dedicating so much of her time to fitness and gymnastics saw Morgan grow her name within the fitness community.

As she began to upload pictures of her awesome skills and tricks, new people started following her. Before long, she ‘blew up on social media. This led Morgan to become sponsored with sports companies, which allowed her to grow her name even further.

She’s now a full-time gymnastics coach, acrobatics expert, and cover model. In addition, Morgan is an inspiration for many young women who are in awe of her acrobatics skills – these individuals support Morgan every step of her way, and she pays it back by sharing her helpful advice with them.

“Never would I have thought I would be where I am today. Future will bring big opportunities and I can’t wait to embrace every single one of them.”


Training

Morgan Rose Moroney does both gymnastics and calisthenics. During the summer months, she likes practicing various acrobatic tricks outdoors, followed by a calisthenics workout.

However, her regimen rarely stays the same, so there’s no rule that’s ‘set in stone’ for how Morgan trains. Some days, she might do calisthenics only. Other days, she’ll work on her flexibility and skills.


Nutrition

Morgan is not only a gymnastics expert, she’s also a cover model for magazines. This means she has to stay fit and lean for her events all year-round. To achieve this, Morgan eats a diet full of healthy nutrients. This includes protein, carbs, fats, and fiber.

In regards to the specific foods Morgan eats, she consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables, which keep her body lean and supplied with vitamins and antioxidants. She also eats lean poultry as her main protein source, which helps her keep firm muscles.
