Hi! I'm a former gymnast and coach, and now a gym mom to a junior in high school competing in Xcel.

I’m the mom of a 9-year-old MAG gymnast who has been doing gymnastics for 2 years. He is currently finishing up his level 5 season and training for level 6 elite.

I have a background as a circus performer and gymnast. I was involved in gymnastics and gymnastics-adjacent activities for almost 20 years. During the pandemic lockdown, I entertained my hyperactive boys by teaching them circus and gymnastics tricks. I never planned to be a gym-mom and I actually discouraged my kids from pursuing gymnastics in favor of cheaper and safer sports. However, one of my kids was clearly a natural gymnast and he begged me to take him to gymnastics. I finally gave in and took him to our local gym where he started competing just 2 months later.

When my son first started gymnastics, he was in a hurry to catch up with the other boys, so we had fun practicing gymnastics together at home. He’s now graduated “Mom’s School of Living Room Gymnastics” and I’m enjoying my current role as normal spectator-parent.

So fun that you did circus! I got recruited into a contortion training group as an adult and performed a little on a very small scale. It was challenging but so fun! I also did some hand balancing and tried my hand at silks.

What is going on here? On another thread (started by this Deleted member) , this person was inquiring about the levels but the person is actually famous in the sport?! A troll?

Not sure, but definitely not who she claimed to be.

I am a mom of two gymnasts. I didn't know anything about gymnastics before joining this site, but have learned so much. My oldest just finished her first season as a level 2 and is excited to move to level 3 next season. My youngest is on preteam and still deciding whether gymnastics is her thing or not.
