    Not a new gym mom...but new to CB

    Hi everyone, I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a mom to three girls, but only one gymnast. She is my youngest and when she was a toddler she was a busy bumblebee and I wanted to find something for her to be involved in that would burn off some of her excess energy. At age 3, we started her...

    New gym mom.....feeling confused :(

    Hi everyone! I am a relative new gym mom. I have a 4 year old DD on pre-team level 2. She seems to have a natural ability for gymnastics, but I will admit, her life does not revolve around gymnastics. I know that she is very young, so I don't push her at all. She loves the gym and learning new...

    New gym mom

    Hello all! This will be long winded, as I am a new gym mom floundering around trying to figure things out as we go. I have two girls, ages 10 and 12, both of whom are new to the sport. Both girls have been dancing for many years, and recently (1.5 yrs for the little & 5 months for the big)...

    WAG 6 months at new gym and loving it!

    This week marks 6 months since my L8 dd switched to the brand new gym. Thanks to those of you who helped me get over my "loyalty guilt" and make the switch. It is so much better having one coach. The coach makes daily individualized workout plans for each optional girl. Since moving to new...

    Parents Help... New gym mom here.

    My 3 year old has been doing preschool gymnastics since she was 1. She was recently moved up to the older rec class (4 and 5 year olds) which she did for only two weeks. The coach said it was time to move her to "team." After discussing it with my family, I agreed to let her try it. She is so...

    Parents new gym style good or bad?

    We just moved to a new state in a city with a limited number of good gyms. We joined one and it turned out to be wrong choice; my daughter had to deal with bullying and so unhappy she was getting sick. We have left this gym and she is happier now. But we are trying to find a new gym in a city...

    Hi all, I hear there is a going to be a new gym in our area. To my knowledge, this will be the first brand new gym in our area in at least a decade.

    Parents Do you have any regrets about competitive gymnastics? Any advice for new gym parents?

    DD will be 5 in April. She is currently on preteam at her gym and I am anticipating that she will be asked to join the Level 2/3 team in a few months when they do move-ups. DD loves gymnastics, more than any other activity she has done. But I have some concerns about having her join the...

    WAG need help with deciding on a new gym

    We recently moved and are starting the process of finding a new gym. When we first found out we were moving I did a very small amount of research and the same gym kept coming up and it was also recommended to us by dd's former gym/coaches. We still moved to the "area" but it's a big area and...

    Moving to a new gym

    Hey I was wondering if anybody could help me out on this one. I was wondering if anybody here has ever moved away to train, like Gabby did. I have been wanting to do this so I can improve my skills and go far in gymnastics and get better coaching. But my parents aren't cool with this idea, but I...

    WAG We're going to have a new gym!

    So excited! As many of you know, many gyms in canada aren't private and are non profit organizations, which mean a lot of clubs train in high school gymnasiums. I'm lucky to coach in one of the biggest clubs in my city, but still, it's pretty small compared to a lot of gym in the us. Today our...
