Hello! My daughter is creating a new routine for Oxford this year and wants to use a particular song- Everlong by The Foo Fighters- but it doesn’t seem to be on any of the gym music sites. Does anyone cut music or know how and can give some guidance?
Thank you!
Hello! I’m looking for a gym in the greater NOLA area that offers adult classes or open gyms- or at least allows adults in their open gyms. My daughter is going to be home from May through October and wants to be able to get workouts in on equipment. Thanks!
I’m sorry he’s dealing with an injury. They seem inescapable. My younger daughter is dealing with some hip issues at the moment. I’m glad he’s enjoying college though!
It’s been a very, very long time since I posted here! My daughter is a senior in college now- about to graduate in May. She is an naigc gymnast. She just finished at nationals, so that is the period at the end of her time on her college’s club team. She has had a blast doing gymnastics at...
She has, yes! They do compete and they have coaches and their own gyms, etc. They just don’t offer scholarships for it at all, or vaunt it over academics. She actually competes on three teams over there- artistic gymnastics, trampoline, and crew (rowing).
Neither of us ever heard of this before, but it’s apparently at least a semi big deal, so I’m proud of her! She’s still loving gymnastics and can’t wait to get back to her college next year to restart their program- it fell apart when she left.
How exciting! My daughter got exactly one naigc meet before covid. Ha. She loved it though! She had more meets in the UK than she will in her American college all years combined, but she’s gonna go to as many as she can next year.
My daughter loves bars the best, but has come to love beam due to her own consistency. She realized recently that she hadn’t fallen off beam in a competition since 2016, and it makes it easy to love competing the event.
Too late to edit but if anyone was ever wondering what the meets over there are like, the championship has a whole meet site, including what the levels compete, etc.

I changed mine to the University of Oxford gym logo- at least until DD is back in the USA. She competed a trampoline meet yesterday and has an artistic meet on Saturday (the BUCS championship).
Gymnastics was a perfect outlet for my perfectionists- they both learned to fail, try harder, fail again, and still find a way to squeeze all the joy out of it. My girls eventually ended up competing against each other, and I worried that there would be negative effects on their relationship...
