Just a few of the things you can expect…
Gymnastics Rings
Rings will give you the arms and core of a gymnast. You will learn to master upper body strength with exercises like pull-ups, dips, muscle-ups, levers, and rolls. Ring routines are a creative way to practice strength and skill.
Calisthenics
By using your own body weight as resistance, you can develop practical strength, endurance, and mobility. Calisthenics requires no equipment but does require technique and discipline. We’ll show you how to utilise push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, handstands and the many variations they come in.
Soft Acrobatics
Soft acrobatics are a playful and expressive movement practice. Learn to move gracefully through space, using rotational pathways, going upside down, and pushing into the ground with any body part. Soft acrobatics can help you improve your balance, coordination, and creativity.
Strength
Strength training involves using resistance to build muscle, bone, and connective tissue. It can help you increase your strength, power, endurance, and metabolism. We practice strength training with weights, bands, or our own body.
Coordination
Balance, agility, reaction time, and spatial awareness are valuable for everyday life. Coordination drills can help you develop these skills, enhance your performance and prevent injuries.
Handbalance
The act of balancing on one’s hands in various postures and transitions. It can help one improve one’s strength, coordination, proprioception, mental focus & discipline. There’s usually a few handstands happening at any given time here.
Tumbling / Tricking
Whether you want to learn flips, spins, or kicks, gymnastics tumbling and tricking are not only a fun physical exercise, but also art forms that you can enjoy at any level.
TMC holds a dedicated adult gymnastics class every Wednesday at 6:30pm with dedicated gymnastic coaches.
