This caused Ortona to increase rapidly in popularity leading to their 1979 move into the historical Ortona Armory in the river valley. In 1981 Ortona's popularity experienced another surge when Canada's 1976 Olympic male gymnastics coach John Herb joined Ortona as head coach. Three years later John Herb qualified one of Ortona's athletes for the 1984 Summer Olympics. John also located the choreographer/ coach of Hungarys female gymnastics team for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Anna Horvath. She moved to Edmonton in 1988 to help John to coach Megan McCurdy and Stephanie Pierce for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Megan made the team and attended the games. Stephanie and Megan also attended several international competitions, Megan's sister Erin has had success on the national level as well. John and Anna coached not just gymnasts, but figure skaters and body builders too. John's assistant coach George took over the training of body builders in 1989. Their student Tracy became Canada's Champion body builder in 1990. John invited two women's coaches from China named Ming and Feng-Hua Qui in 1987. They began negotiations with Ortona, which led to their eventual move onto the Ortona coaching team.
