Gymnastics classes for adults? May 07, 2012
Hi,

I am a relatively fit 21yearold male who has been working out for close to a year especially with body weights. In other words, pull ups, chin ups, dips, straightbar dips, ring dips, push ups, pseudo planche push ups, diamond push ups .. body rows, front lever and back lever progressions, L-sit, parallel bar swinging squats, assisted pistol squats, tuck jumps, ...... THE LIST GOES ON!!!!

Anyways, sooner or later I became interested in gymnastics strength training and the sport in general and I want to join a gym here but all I find on google is stuff for children and teens up to 15.

Now I heard of some adults classes but they get cancelled due to low attendance or whatever.

Anyways is anyone here interested? In case none of you are motivated have you searched on youtube: Hannibal for king? he does some pretty insane stuff, real strength, thats kind of how I became interested in this type of working out.

So who is interested and are there any gyms here that will accept me? If something like 7-10 people are interested I think we can get something going like a special class arranged at some club or something like that.

Thanks.

It's sad that there's not much demand to actually start up classes for adults. I have also looked up gymnastic classes in Dubai and was similarly disppointed to have only found teen-dedicated classes, which don't really seem as Pro as i hoped.

I for one am all up to join and get the best out of this sport. I have a Taikwando redbelt and been on and off for a little over two years in fitness first where I practice weight training and my level of fitness is not bad actually, generally speaking. I am proficient in bodyweight exercises such as weighted dips and pull ups among other ones. And just recently incorprated hanging bar flips with my leg raises to sort of boost my core. anyway we can discuss this further in person if you'd like.

Back to topic, I'm not a huge fan of youtubing videos and imitating the movements, I find having an instuctor around is a better (and safer) choice. this is my contact: kbinsobeih (at) gmail (dot) com

Something tells me we can this 8)

I think because people usually get into gymnastics at an early age, it's very difficult to do as an adult as we're not as flexible.

Hey all OP here ...

Classes exist but got cancelled again because of attendance and low demand. People join and think that it is fun like riding unicorns on rainbow bridge but then they get defeated by the conditioning and stop coming. What do you expect? How will your body get stronger?

I think this is expected because a huge chunk of the population is stuck overweight.

Morning all,

I have been looking for gymnastic classes for some now. I do practice martial arts, capoeira, and relatively fit, I do triathlon.

I think gymnastic could bring a lot of strength into my overall performance as an athlete.

Have you guys managed to put a team together?

Kind regards

Ricardo Leite

Hi, I have several gymnasts friends who started do pole dancing. They really have fun, because of their background, they can achieve great results in a short term. And of course they are doing a strong workout, as it's not so easy as it seems.
The place I know is MPDS - MIian Pole Dance studio, located in JLT.
And of course, it is for adults only!
