My child is in squad but she has recently trialled at another gym. They liked her and offered her a squad place that day. We are not hugely fussed with our current Gym and think that the new one is much better and will give her the opportunity to develop into a stronger and more resilient...

Thanks!! They are visiting. Dubai this week to look at school etc so I’ll mention it!

Hello My sister is relocating to Dubai and has a very keen gymnast (7 year old girl) and is looking for a good club for her to join. Probably with focus on WAG but also maybe tumbling. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Lou

These all sound so brilliant. We don’t really have the equivalent in the uk, just day camps like Childcare really.

I hope she’s ok! Perfect viewing though!

Thanks. He’s got good upper body strength. Can hang and swing on bar and same on P bars. He can cartwheel and round off (but they need work) and is learning to flip in his classes at the moment. He just loves gym and part of the interest in squads is just the chance to be able to go to gym...
