classes

I'm almost 18 years old and took tumbling and a bit of gymnastics when I was a little kid and was a cheerleader until I was 13. However, I've kept my flexibility since then and am working on strength training right now. The problem I'm having is finding adult classes in the midwest. I want...

Hi everyone, I just joined this site and had a question. My daughter is 8 and has been taking rec classes for 4 sessions. I see improvements in cartwheels but that's about it. Are rec classes generally more 'laid back' - so it doesn't really matter if she learns skills or not? But if she can...

After several great months on pre-team, DD refused to go to class on Tuesday and today wouldn't go in for about 20 minutes and then once she was in she only wanted to do some of the things. Extremely frustrating for me, the coaches, and disruptive to the class. She just turned 5 and at the...

We started our T&T program about five months ago. We currently have 2 gymnasts on the team. This low number is not due to lack of interest, but lack of staff. I have not allowed new gymnasts to join as I have had to combine them with other teams at times. Now we are ready to start the...

Does anyone know of any adult friendly classes, even just tumbling classes in NOVA or DC?

So in my last question I asked if it was too late to start gymnastics. Due to all your positive replys I have decided to start. The problem is that I am unable to find any classes for teens. I tried a tumbling class at my y but was placed with 6 year olds and an instructor my age!! Does anyone...

Hello, My dd needs her robhs to move to level 4. I was wondering if a tumbling class would help with this skill? Right now it doesn't seem that they are working on the skill very much and none of the current L3's have this skill. Are tumbling classes more for cheerleaders? Would it be a...

Hey guys! This question is for parents of older children and older gymnasts. I'm a sophomore in high school and I've already signed up for my classes for next year, but it's time to think about what I'm going to take senior year. The problem is that I want to take British Literature (Honors)...

So it's the time of the year where we are picking classes for 9th grade. I decided to have 6 credits leaving me two study halls all year. But i don't know if i should take another class so i have one study hall because two might be too much. So do any high schoolers know if two study halls would...

Okay so this came from the increased enrollment thread, I had more questions but didn't want to completly hijack her thread. So what does your gym do with free trials and new enrollments? There seems to be a disconnect between our office staff and the coaches and owner and no set policy. We...

In my daughter's 2 classes, there is a vast difference in skill ability. Half the class has far more advanced skills than the other half of the class. To put it into perspective, the advanced girls are working level 4 skills and the other half are still trying to master a pullover. We only have...

Hello! I have a five year old daughter that was asked to move to developmental team. I believe the plan is that she will compete Level 3 or 4 next year, depending on her development. I was a little hesitant to move her, although glad that they wanted her, because she will start school next...

Does anyone on here know of any gyms within a 1 hour drive from downtown Atlanta or less that offer classes for adults or let adults do open gym? I already tumble somewhere, but I have nowhere to practice the other events :( I have researched, but can't really seem to find any that close to me...

Are any of you from the DC area? Do you know of any adult classes or adult friendly gyms that allow adults at open gym in the area? It looks like my boyfriend will be moving up there and I'm in the unique position where I may be able to spend half a week here in southeast VA where I live and...

With the weather turning warm and the rain stopping, Emma's school has had the kids outside for PE classes. I think this is awesome, but we hit a problem this week. They have lots of jungle gym bars, and the walking tracks, and the outside gym that you see next to walking trails. Her...

First, I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this question, but I'd like to get parents and coaches opinions. I have a set of twins in one of my Pre-K classes who sometimes argue/ antagonize etc. each other. To me, this is just normal behavior for siblings and I am not overly concerned...

Hi, I am a 29 year old male who is interested in learning the art of gymnastics. I have no prior experience in gymnastics, and my interest is in the physical condition of the sport as well as the fun. I live in Gresham Oregon, next to Portland and am having a hard time finding a place in the...

I was curious about dance lessons to help with poise and floor. Have you ever done or put your dd in lessons? If so was it a regular class or privates with a dance instructor. How many and how long? Did you notice a difference? At what age did you start the lessons? Do most gymnasts take...

I was wondering whether other gyms have a wait list for classes and how they manage the waitlist. Do you test kids and then put them on the waitlist, or do you wait for their name to come up and then put them in a class and assess. Our gym always seems to have problems at the beginning of...

I'm just wondering how exactly does everyone work out? Do most of you take actually adult classes? I do open gym work outs because there is only 1 gym in my are that has actual adult classes and they are only once a week and I work a weird schedule. The gym I have found lets me come in on...
