Wouldn’t you love to have a bigger arsenal of cool gymnastic moves? Who wouldn’t want to have fantastic bridge, or do a back walk-over, or begin to master a backflip and have a rock solid handstand?

These are the things we commit to teaching you as part of our Sunday gymnastics programme, which is for adult beginners/intermediates who wish to be taught in a class format.

Book yourself into a gymnastics class to get the very best in adult gymnastic coaching in London.

We offer highly taught and structured sessions for adult clients, and are careful to tailor progressions to your needs and abilities.

Finding coaches with an interest in really helping adults learn skills are rare, so we are delighted  that cheerleading coach, Amelia Chavez Murguia has joined us to help make the Blackboard Gym a real centre of excellence.

This is the proper stuff: real handstands with grace and beauty, real forward rolls and cartwheels that will lead to round-offs because they are being taught well. For more advanced students, there will be work on bridges, back flips and more!

These are stand-alone classes, so you do not need to be a Crossfitter or go through our Crossfit Beginners classes in order to participate.

We run two different sessions on Sunday, aligned to meet most levels of experience:

• Adult Gymnastics Beginners: Adult gymnastics sessions targeted at those with no prior gymnastics experience. Focused on developing the basic flexibility and orientation necessary to practice handstands, cartwheels, forward and backward rolls.
• Adult Gymnastic Intermediate: Adult gymnastics sessions for intermediate athletes and those already familiar our gymnastic syllabus. Note: The coaches will let you know when you are ready to attend these more advanced sessions. If you are unsure, please book in to the Gymnastic Beginners or Foundations sessions.

Personal comment

Over the last four years I have spent a small fortune in training fees attempting to master gymnastic basics, and frankly, I’ve spent a lot of cash with very little payback.

Tonight I saw the coach I’ve been looking for.

Amelia really understands the movement, and has the ability to break skills down, and  lay the foundations for the next move. Every time we stood up from the handstand, we were beginning to build the specific strength for the round-off; in a way that I’d never had emphasised to me before.

There are lots of gymnastic coaches around, but all dream of coaching the next Olympic champion. Some will do adult classes, but their methods are based on teaching children – and highly flexible children at that. Few have the patience, or interest, to develop adult athletes. After all it’s easy to spot a teeny seven year old. It’s harder to spot a 16 stone rugby player.

So it’s very exciting and a great opportunity to step into one of  the true foundations of Crossfit: gymnastics
