Monday Evenings at Tolworth Gymnastics Club

This skill-strength class is for Tolworth Gymnastics Club members only.

This fun, intensive class is designed to develop strength for gymnastics skills. Gymnasts only training a few hours per week often stagnate in their progression, not due to lack of talent but lack of body conditioning. There is only so much strength work that can be done in a General Squad/ recreational class. To improve this, gymnasts must work on their strength and body conditioning elsewhere. This class aims to improve strength and consolidate good technique and body positioning, enabling faster skill progression.

Advanced GS please note that this class does not count towards ‘training hours’ for competition purposes.

Monitoring Progression:

Each week I give the class challenges and encourage participants to keep a record of their achievement. These are set in stages and gymnasts can move to the next stage of the challenge if they feel able. The idea of these challenges is to help gymnasts monitor their own progression and see the improvement that they are making over time. I actively encourage each individual to focus on their own level and not to compare themselves to others. Some groups are very mixed in ability so I am emphasising the importance of personal achievement. Click here for more information.

Each term is bookable separately and does not guarantee a place in a future term. It is possible to pay for the term by cash if you prefer.
