The only thing I can think of is contacting higher authorities. She has literally abused you emotionally and physically, and this is probably taking a huge toll on your mental and physical health. This has become downright dangerous for you now.

If you there is a possibility of working with this coach at all, you should refuse to attend, and email the owner stating exactly why.
And file a safe sport report. What you are experiencing is abuse.
My friend is super supportive and asked me about saying no before. She offered to help me so I assume the offer still stands.
What is your definition of higher authorities? I'm not going to like the police.
Maybe it makes sense to go and if she is the coach leave? If she won't be my coach then I'm safe.
How do I file a safe sport report? I've heard of it but don't know anything about it.
Couldn’t you also tell your real coach about it and get her to talk with that…. Well, that disgusting human?
Safe sport literally exists for the purposes of protecting athletes like you from abusive coaches like the one you're describing.
Other directors at the gym, if you have them? You mentioned she’s the manager, who’s above the manager in the gym?

If someone who's more educated than I am could advise whether or not she can experience retaliation or get kicked out for making this report, please say so. Or is it like "now they literally CAN'T let her go until it's resolved?"
This young lady wants to attend states (sorry there are other posts) and she deserves that. Getting kicked out now will interrupt that dream. It may be her last season anyway.

If you had an all hands on deck meeting with coaches about your situation, the owners are aware you exist.
Thanks! I'll talk to my mom about it first.Here's the link.

Definitely. Will post back here when I have an update - probably later tonight.
So my mom spoke to the coach. Apparently she was "unaware of my mental status and emotional situation" otherwise she would have been more mindful. Apparently she is not going to approach me again. I'm going to just give it another try for now I guess with the support of teammates.
