    Gymnasts Favorite events

    1 is beam. I love doing it and I do really well in the competitions. If only I was doing so well in everything else:p I like doing bars a lot, I find skills, especially sole circles, genuinely fun. I have had a lot of struggles with getting skills in time for comps and the competitions are...

    Off Topic Introductions Thread (2025 Version)

    Hello! I live in Australia. I started off going to kinder gym with my sister. She was about 2 when I was born, and so I came along and joined in too as soon as I could crawl. It was mostly just unstructured playtime; there would be an obstacle course, jump off the box, forwards roll down the...

    Off Topic Trends at Your Gym

    Everyone is saying lululemon and that hasn't happened at our gym yet! It is trending outside of gym. Everyone used to wear slides from Nike or elsewhere to gym but now its just crocs. Also, wearing either a scrunchie or now more commonly a ribbon which matches your leotard is popular. Is the...

    Haha! I imagine they wear shorts under the fleece things but you can barely see them, not just no pants? Our gym is actually in an old factory shed thing and it gets sooooo cold sometimes! We'll be wearing wooly socks just because we have to or our feet will go completely numb, then our male...

    Parents Day after competition

    Its ok and completely normal. She may just be super tired. Just try to stay out of her way, she will most likely be back to normal the next day.

    Parents Bar at home

    Please don't buy a bar that stands up by itself. If your daughter is doing any kind of big skills then she will need a bar which ties down with anchors like the ones at gym. My cousin is 4 and she has a bar that was bought off a gymnastics website as a gymnastics bar. These bars are only good...

    Coaches Coach Wages

    Hi coaches, I am interested in whether you can make a living off coaching gymnastics? I'm not asking how much you get paid, just generally wanting to know if you can live a comfortable life off coaching? Would you be able to pay or your family to live comfortably as a full time coach, or do you...

    Off Topic Trends at Your Gym

    What activewear is trending at your gymnastics gym? At mine it is anything Nike Pro, and also Cotton on Body and Ell & Voo. Crocs are the trending footwear. These trends obviously also exist outside of the gym, I know, so I assume are similar at your gym too?

    Coaches Hot takes, unpopular opinions, etc regarding technique and/or rules

    Regarding number 5: I have noticed when watching a specific high level gymnast's social media that she always bends her arms at the end of her kips. I had previously thought that it was because she was being progressed through the levels so fast that coaches hadn't stopped to spend a lot of...

    Gymnasts Removing Sleeves From Leotard?

    Hi everyone, A few years ago, one of my friends had a long-sleeved leotard that she didn't like, so she removed the sleeves and sewed the raw edges under, and she had a beautiful short sleeved leo. I currently have lots of long sleeved leos and not enough short sleeved ones. I have one in mind...
