Chris and Lindsey left their 3 kids at home and attend gymnastics training weekly for the past year.

Chris, with no prior background, struggled to even kick up to a wall Handstand independently. But he learnt along the way, and executed the drills given to him with intent. Slowly and surely, he starts to get better and here he is, executing flips. Not bad for a dad of three kids, a heavy workload, who started with no prior experience!

Lindsey did recreational gymnastics for a couple of years when she was a kid. But she came with a different set of challenges. Having injured her shoulder badly in her teens, she is apprehensive about putting weight on her hands, and unable to hang with straight arms. Her shoulder even came out during one of our sessions, after completing a front tuck. But we slowly conditioned up her shoulder stability and load it up gradually to develop her confidence, while drilling the basics till the room for error is minimal. We even have to modify some “standard” gymnastics techniques for her to execute the movement safely! With her getting stronger, she starts to fight back against her inner fear of flips and Handstands. Looking at her starting point, I can say I am really proud of what she has achieved in this short span.
