I earlier this week I caught myself telling my girls "I could drive my car under those splits" and "My grandmother could cast bigger than you" which my coach used to tell us all the time at that level.

Do you or your coaches have any amusing phrases that they use all the time?

I was wondering if it was the norm for a gym to offer a free trial class. At one of the gyms near me, it is, and I thought it was the same for nearly all gyms.

So today I too my cousins in and it wasn't a free class anymore, as I was told only a week ago.

Yeah, it's frustrating.. :mad:

What's the policy at your gym?

]]> British Gymnastics GymBot http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/british-gymnastics/21633-british-gymnastics-rhythmic-championships-2009-a.html Greetings from Pittsburgh http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/introductions/21632-greetings-pittsburgh.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:41:26 GMT Hey everybody I just thought I'd introduce myself and let you know of my situation. This may sound a little crazy or different from the typical user here. I am a 21 year old male in Pittsburgh and I've never taken a gymnastics class before in my life. Gymnastics is something I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid but my parents always had me do Baseball and Soccer instead. Well now it has come to the point where I have finally decided to try to find a way to do what I've always wanted to do.

My interests over the past few years have changed a bit and I think my ultimate goal now is to get a good base in gymnastics and then learn breakdancing (which I know isn't really what this site is about). I think the physical discipline and acrobatics involved in gymnastics will carry over nicely coupled with the bit of experience I have with hip hop dance.

In any case, my first and foremost interest is learning gymnastics. I am attempting to find some sort of gymnastics class for adults or personal coaching for someone of my age and level (that is, very beginners level) in Pittsburgh but so far I have come up short. I am not expecting any of this to be easy; finding lessons somewhere will be hard enough and actually learning it will be extremely tough and probably embarrassing at first, but I am up to the challenge.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading this long post and even if you can't help me I appreciate your interest nonetheless.
