This is an online hub for our club girls so they have access to lots of resources for training at home as well as information about our club bonding activities.
If you have any challenges to add or suggestions, please get in touch with Chloe.
See what's up and coming for club bonding activities.
Weekly challenge to try at home. New challenge posted every Monday.
This was made for Group 4 but other groups will certainly get some benefit from them too.
3 home workout videos to switch between throughout the week and scale up and down as required. You can up the reps and sets as you see progress. These videos are all less than 12 minutes long.
These 3 workout videos can be done 1-2 times a week. It allows you to change up your exercises to keep things interesting and keep the body guessing.
Week 1: 2 sets
Week 2: 3 sets
Week 3: 4 sets
Week 4: 5 sets
From there, you can increase reps.
This was also made for group 4 but other groups will benefit too! Warm-up. Stretches. Strength & conditioning. Demos, tips and on-screen timer. All in less than an hour.
Some info about artistry. Learn some choreography. Get advice on picking your floor music.
Some YouTube videos to check out and try at home. We're adding to these weekly.
We loved baking with Mack and the gymnastic quiz hosted by Siobhan & Rachel so we've decided to run a club bonding activity every two weeks.
Hope you all enjoyed tie dying! Check out Rachel and Saule's creations. We had some nice pics from the drawing activity.
Next up! MOVE NIGHT!
Details will be shared in the parents' WhatsApp group.
If you or your gymnast would like to organise one of our activities or you have an idea you'd like to share, please get in touch with one of our committee members.
New challenge every Monday.
Something fun to try at home. Some are suitable for the whole family and some come with an exclusive "GYMNAST ONLY" warning hahaha. Tag us in your videos or send to your coach/ Chloe. We'd love to see how you got on.

You'll only need a mat for this workout (Group 4 you can use your foam bar to hold for the core section). Alternatively, if you've a yoga block to squeeze for the core stuff to ensure your arms stay at your ears that would be beneficial. Timer is included. Increase the number of sets each week and then increase the reps.
Watch this video once through for the first time and then when you want to return to the workout and skip the intro and preview, go from 2 mins 55 seconds into the video.
For this workout you'll need a panel mat, a yoga block and a slider. If you have an ab roller, use this too but a slider can be used instead. If you don't have any of this, it is still possible to do this workout (do the core and press-ups without the yoga block and use socks on a slippery floor instead of slider/ ab roller). If you're repeating this workout and don't need to see the preview, skip to 2 mins 10 sec.
Warm-up. Stretches. Strength & conditioning. Demos, tips and on-screen timer.
Chloe chats through all the ways you can improve your artistry score.
Put what you've learnt from part 1 into action by learning a piece of choreography to drivers license by Oliva Rodrigo.
We'd love for you to make up a beam routine to music. This will help you keep a good rhythm to your beam routine and give you some inspiration for some cool moves. It doesn't have to be long: 40-90 seconds. Make sure you include a:
mount; spin; jump; leap; balance; acro element (e.g. cartwheel); close to the beam dance; sideways dance; and dismount (e.g. rebound jump)
We'd love to see your routine! Send a video to your coach or Chloe.
