Gymnastics teaches more than flips. Gymnastics teaches confidence, discipline, courage, and perseverance
By participating in gymnastics, children encounter things that will push them out of their comfort zone. Making a decision to trust themselves and their coaches is a skill that will carry over to all areas of their life. Participating in a sport that has a strict code of conduct teaches the importance of safety and respect. Gymnastics can assist with the development of confidence through positive experiences and achievements, and requires concentration and commitment.
Our adult gymnastics class is 18 years and older and for all levels. Class will include flexibility, strength training, and other gymnastics skills. Class will start as a group cardio warm-up, followed by full deep stretching. We will then do a few different stations tiered for beginners up to more advanced participants to give an idea of skills you can work on, if you need ideas. Every class we will open for skills each individual is interested in. Great time for for fun, gaining strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and confidence!
