Adult gymnastics

[cfg]

I posted this in the coaches section, but it might fit here too...

Hello-

I'm looking for gyms that offer adult gymnastics classes in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I'm 25 and haven't formally done gymnastics in a little over 10 years. (I did coach rec for a few years in college). When I quit I was working level 6 skills. I would love to get back in the gym just to have some fun and work on new stuff. I'm forever in a handstand or split, but I refuse to do much more than a walkover since it's been so long.

Any ideas where to start?

my best advice would be to google local gyms and call, I know some down here in Orlando, don't have adult classes for insurance reasons, You can also look into acro dance classes which is similar to like your basic gymnastics floor skills, walkover, handsprings, cartwheels and such, I teach an acro class, my studio doesn't have an acro class for adults, mostly because many "adults" can't or aren't interested in that style because of the strain it puts on the body.

But google gyms and call them and ask if they offer adult classes, I too would love to go back into the gym for just fun, really I would like to get back onto the beam and work some old skills.

a side possiblity is diving too, if you like the flipping aspect of gymnastics, you might like diving as well. But thats just an idea I thought I'd throw out there.
