Coach
I designed a dream gym... even know right where I would want it located... It is awesome. Now, to find an anonymous benefactor willing to build it... rent it to the YMCA for $1 per year... and contribute money to hire enough coaches to make it worth having all the equipment (which the benefactor would also need to buy.
This is the rec/ baby / toddler class gym. There is plenty of space at vault for 2 classes to be vaulting at once. They can put a divider between the "end points" of each runway. Some of the balance beams would be floor beams and others would be adjustable. The ropes would have knots in them... some closer than others. There are drinking fountains and individual potty rooms inside the gym and plenty of seating for parents and those waiting for class to start.
This is the team practice gym. You can't tell, but there is a running track upstairs that goes over the edges of the gym. Up to 23 L3 can be working on bar routines at once. Up to 10 higher level gymnasts can be working full bar routines (but one would be dismounting into the pit). There are 23 balance beams... 3 into the pit and 2 with full competition matting at all times. There are 3 Floor exercises... so up to 12 L3 can do floor routines at once... or 3 L4/L5. I would still only have 1 Optional gymnast go at a time... and the others can be warming up on the other floors.
There is also a full set of Boys equipment with full FIG matting at the back of the gym.
