After a long time of begging, we finally allowed T1 to start the gym this year. But we’ve stopped everything else.
I find this a suitable gym for this age group as they teach the kids some solid gymnastic skills (like handstands, cartwheels, roll-overs, somersaults, balance beams and lots more!) yet it is done in a fun environment. And the best thing is that the kids get to burn lots of energy and come home exhausted and hungry, then pass out after they are fed. Woohoo! What more can a mom ask for?!
Having been involved in gymnastics before as a teen, the first thing I did was to inspect their equipment. You can tell how professional a gym is from there. They passed the test with standard 5 layers of chip foam for absorption of impact with double carpeting.
I observed how well the staff knew their stuff. I know exactly how the body should work in a gym so I was able to identify if they were half past six staff or ones with experience. They passed that test too.
Showing off as usual…..
Warming up sessions…..before class starts.
Running on a beam….
She still can’t go down to a back bend from standing position. I used to be able to do that with incredible ease (chehhhhh…… all the terror stuff I USED TO DO must also show off a bit).
What I also like about the gym is that kids get to practise other sport skills like golf, racket games, ball games etc; all in the name of better coordination and improving strength, stamina and confidence.
T1, the happy camper at gym class. She has never wanted to miss a single day of class and absolutely LOVES her gym class.
T2 will start as soon as she hits her 1st birthday!
It is great fun! I highly recommend it as this physical activity actually stimulates brain activity, little do the kiasu parents know…..*hick*

I read about this place. Looks sooooooo interesting. Made me wish I have the agility to perform all those stunts. I was a fatty in my growing up years so nothing like this sort for me.
