    I tried out new Gym Hair over the weekend

    It took FOREVER, but because I can't braid to save my life, and DD's hair is SO thin and slides out of everything anyway, I figured I'd give it a go. She slept on it last night and it held perfectly! PS - I curled that pony within an inch of it's life :o and that's about 20 minutes later...

    Getting used to a new gym....

    For those of you who have switched gyms I am just wondering how long it took your kids to adjust to the change? My daughter just had her first "real" day at the gym we switched to yesterday and it was a rough day. This gym works much harder than her previous gym and although that is what she...

    Moved to new state, new gym not measuring up

    I'm new to CB & looking for advice and/or support. We recently moved to a new state for work and had to find a new gym. The old gym was a big, established gym and very successful. In our new city, there are not many options for gymnastics. We did find a gym in the new state and my daughter has...

    MAG Brand new gym mom - questions about how to pick a team

    Hi everyone, I'm a *brand new* "gym mom." Background: My 6 1/2 year old son decided he wanted to be a trapeze artist after seeing something on TV, and convinced me to search for trapeze lessons for him. I decided to humor him, assuming there would be no such thing, but found a circus school here...

    New gym mom

    Hi! My dd, 7, started gymnastics at age 5. We only did it for 6 months due to our move. US to UK. After we got settled we had to wait 10 months before getting into a gymnastics club. It was not what I expected but I didn't know better - just recreational, no major coaching. About 6 weeks after...

    new gym: spring floor vs rod floor

    This question is for gym owners as well. I need opinions. I am in the process of opening a gym. The space is small (4600 sq ft) with the ability to expand another 1200 sq ft when we are able. Because of the lack of space, we have opted to wait on the full size spring until we expand. Our floor...

    There's a new gym in town...

    I've been hesitant about posting anything about the new gym because I'm afraid that someone from our current gym will see it and all of a sudden the rumor mills will be full of gossip that I'm switching my DD to the new gym. So IF anyone from our current gym sees this, nobody has made any...

    Parents Questions regarding new gym philosophy

    I am considering moving my daughter to another gym because I don't believe her current gym has a healthy program (meaning joint health) or a safe program. Hence, I am looking for a healthy, safe and fun gymnastics program for her. She is not an Olympic caliber gymnast. She is a very good...

    Question Re: Potential new gym

    Last night I took J to see try a new gym close to our new home. It felt odd. First there are only 5 girls on the team. They mentioned some recent gym drama caused 90% of the team and coaches to leave. My question is this: what would this signal to you? Another thing that I was not ok with was...
