I've
been
going
to
the
adult
gymnastics
classes
since
October
2022,
shortly
after
they
started
it,
and
it's
been
nothing
short
of
life
changing!
I
hadn't
competed
in
nearly
30
years
and
hadn't
gone
to
a
proper
adult
class
in
20
years,
so
it
was
a
little
scary
to
give
this
a
try
again,
but
it's
been
awesome
at
every
step.
I
didn't
know
Pacific
Reign
even
existed
(it's
nowhere
near
where
I
live)
until
someone
posted
about
the
class
on
an
Facebook
group
for
adult
gymnasts.
Gena
was
the
first
person
I
encountered
when
I
called
to
ask
about
a
thousand
annoying
questions
about
the
registration
options,
what
the
class
was
like,
how
many
people
were
in
it,
what
skills
they
work
on,
etc,
etc.
and
she
answered
all
of
them
cheerily.
She
also
helped
me
figure
out
what
to
do
when
I
got
there
(there's
a
check-in
screen
and
lockers
to
put
your
stuff).
I
should
add
here
it’s
also
the
cleanest
most
well-equipped
gym
I’ve
ever
seen.
Coach
Colby
led
the
warm
up
and
Coach
Kendall
arrived
with
a
very
impressive
multiple
page
lesson
plan.
People
drop
in
on
different
days
or
sometimes
to
both
(Mondays
and
Thursdays)
so
the
level
and
experience
of
the
folks
there
each
day
varies,
but
there's
always
options
whether
you're
learning
cartwheels
or
working
on
back
handsprings.
Colby
brings
the
energy,
jokes,
conditioning,
and
spotting
if
you
need
it.
Kendall
comes
up
with
brilliant
drills
and
progressions,
and
delivers
really
astute
corrections
that
have
helped
me
overcome
fear
and
get
my
skills
back
faster
than
I
ever
thought
I
would
(at
47!)
She's
also
attentive
to
any
restrictions
like
my
hypermobile
knees
and
limited
hip
mobility
and
encourages
safe
practices
for
adult
bodies.
The
other
folks
who
come
to
the
class
are
super
supportive,
with
experienced
gymnasts
helping
the
newer
folks
(or
helping
me
to
remember
what
to
do
at
each
station).
The
class
has
really
rekindled
my
love
for
the
sport
and
now
I'm
looking
forward
to
competing
and
attending
their
summer
camp.
If
you're
thinking
about
trying
it
out,
you
should.
Just
bring
a
good
attitude,
be
curious
and
observe
others
if
a
skill/drill
is
new
(as
they
often
are
to
me
even
though
I
used
to
compete
as
a
kid),
expect
yourself
to
fall
repeatedly
(trying
and
failing
are
part
of
the
process),
and
be
sure
to
ask
lots
of
questions
of
the
coaches
and
other
gymnasts
because
we're
all
pretty
happy
to
help
each
other
out.
[Note:
If
this
isn't
your
frame
of
mind
and
you're
expecting
step-by-step,
one-on-one
instruction
and
attention,
this
class,
or
any
class,
might
not
be
for
you...I
think
that
most
people
would
find
this
class
to
be
a
lot
of
fun!]
