Al Fong

Al Fong (born c. 1953) is an American gymnastics coach and owner of Great American Gymnastics Express, a gymnastics club in Blue Springs, Missouri. Fong coached Julissa Gomez and Christy Henrich, Olympic hopefuls for the 1988 Seoul Olympics, who died after a competition accident and from anorexia, respectively. He has since coached two Olympic silver medalists: Terin Humphrey and Courtney McCool.

In 2025, USA Gymnastics suspended Fong from coaching for five years after an investigation substantiated allegations of verbal, physical, and emotional abuse.
