PROGRAM INFORMATION
​
Class Dates
Classes run continuously throughout the year (no terms breaks) unless otherwise communicated via email. Classes are not held on Victorian State Public Holidays.
​
Age Recommendation
Our program best suits but is not restricted to participants aged 16-39 years (minimum age turning 16 that year). Participants over the age of 40 are recommended to obtain a medical clearance before starting. Participants 60+ years considered on special application. Email info@movelikeagymnast.org
​
Fitness Level
If you are attending class for the first time, we do recommend attending with a base level of fitness and strength which will be further developed in classes with regular attendance. After your first class you can expect DOMS (delayed onset muscular sorness) for 3-5 days which decreases over time with regular attendance.
​
What to wear
We recommend wearing comfortable activewear to classes. No clothing with zips, buttons or pockets. No jewellery or watches. Body piercings should be covered to prevent coming into contact with apparatus. Shoes may not be on the gym floor excluding staff.
​
Annual Club Membership
All participants must purchase annual Club Membership by their second visit or at the end of a trial period to continue to access our venues and services. This fee supports the operation of the business and includes Personal Injury Insurance coverage for each athlete with GA's National Risk Protection Program. Further information can be found here
​
Injury Risk
Gymnastics is considered by insurers to be a high-risk sport however with careful planning, experienced coaching and following instructions the risk of injury is significantly lowered. We recommend new participants enroll in our online classes to build foundations or come with a base of strength and flexibility which will be further developed through regular attendance.
​
Class Curriculum
Our fully instructed classes welcome absolute beginners to advanced. Our program supports both recreational and competitive gymnasts with classes focussing on fitness, fun and skill development. Our classes are carefully planned following recommended curriculum developed by the Owner of Flipping Fit and endorsed by Gymnastics Victoria. All classes include a warm up, flexibility, physical conditioning, handstand development, skill development on Floor (tumbling) and one apparatus (eg. bars, beam, rings, vault, trampoline). Please note the trampoline at Moorabbin is only fit for use by people under 90kg. If you attend class on a single night only, or every night of the week, you will get a chance to experience all the gymnastic apparatus. More advanced gymnasts are allowed to work independently on all apparatus after 8.15pm with coach approval.
