Anon Northern VA or NC Gym Move

[Anonymous (b791)]

I am relocating for work reasons and my job is flexible as to whether I move to Northern VA (McLean) or Raleigh, NC. Clearly there are many considerations to decide which state I should move to. One of the considerations is the gym my daughter would go to. I don’t know much about either area from a gymnastics perspective . I have looked at gyms but if I can get more information from someone who is closer to the area, or things I need to know, recommended gyms etc , that would be really helpful. My daughter is 14 years old and is a level 9. Thanks so much

I would look at Capital Gymnastics in Burke Virginia. They are fantastic.

i would recommend looking into virginia because i believe the gyms in the raleigh are full (context; my friend was trying to move gyms and both raleigh & charlotte gyms were all full)

Really? I haven't heard that. We have a pretty good number of gyms in the Raleigh area, and even more in the Charlotte area. Although our gym does have a pretty large team already, especially at the the 9/10 levels so maybe they might be saying they are "full". But there are a few others around that don't seem to have particularly large teams and I can't see turning a level 9 away. Who knows though..

Thank you both for the response. Can I ask which gyms do you recommend in the Raleigh versus Charlotte area ?

Thanks so much! I’m trying to send a DM but it isn’t letting me. It mentioned I can only send messages to staff members. Any idea how to get around this it’s my first time posting on this forum. Thank you
