Whether you are an ex-athlete of the sport, wish you had the opportunity to learn the sport when you were younger, tired of lifting weights at the gym, need to cross train for a sport or just want to get fit and have fun the gymnastics way, we can offer it for you!

​

Adult classes 

• Give a full body work out

• Works on strength, co-ordination, balance, flexibility

• Are structured around what our participant's goals

• Suitable for beginners with no experience to current and ex adult gymnasts

​

Sessions

 See the timetable for session days and times. Adult sessions are held weekly during the school term. 

​

Upon discussion with the head coach, adults who have certain goals may invited to additional sessions.

​

Our adult class members also receive invites to events like school holiday programs, team training days and clinics (see the success from our clinic with Coach Redders here with our junior and adult athletes).

​

Apparatus

Adults use all apparatus from artistic gymnastics and trampolining disciplines. This includes rings, bars, trampolines, beams, vault and floor.

​

If the adult brings a mate/partner/small group and are suitably conditioned, they can even acrobatics (positions are open for competitive adult acrobatics in levels and masters divisions). We can also offer basic rhythmic.

​

In 2024 - the recreational teens will join in this class.

 

This would be suitable for teenagers who:

• Have no prior gymnastics experience.

• Have had an extended amount of time away from the sport and want a way to re-transition into the sport.

• The levels program teenage members who want a bit of extra gym time to work on their skills (upon coach approval).

• For competitive athletes who want to step back from the intense hours associated with being a teenager in a competitive WAG pathway (upon coach approval).
   

Levels Program athletes
If MGS athletes are still in the level's program, they are welcome to continue training in their specific discipline as well as attending this class (upon coach approval).

​

What does a class consist of?

Members come from various walks of life. They are young adults to over 50's including beginners, parents and ex athletes. Each week they unite in the gym continuing to be fit and have fun.

​

• Classes begin with a group warm up of dynamic stretches and a cardiovascular section.

 

• The group is then guided around a series of apparatus activities like strength, conditioning and apparatus work.

     Drills, skills, combinations and routines are worked on for safe progression through gymnastics skills.

​

• At times, there are free time during the session for participants to work on something they want to conquer or simply just enjoy.

​

• Finish with a group cool down of stretching and/or active recovery.

​

There are many variations of each skill so everyone can enjoy a challenge and walk away feeling successful.

​

Pathways for teenagers and adults at MGS

Complementary sessions

Adults aged 18 and over at Maryborough GymSports are also able to enrol on other classes like Dance Strength & Conditioning, Tumbling (if at the level required) and/or competitive acrobatics.

​

Progressing

Recreational teens and adults will move through skills at their own pace. The sky is the limit with what you can learn in gymnastics!

​

​

Competitions

The competitive masters framework has divisions based upon age and ability. It's great as the routines are able to be built around skills you excel at with optional routines.. You don't even have to enter on all apparatus.

Adult competitions generally run in QLD from June - November.

 

There is no need for a levels test in masters divisions, however adults at MGS are welcome to levels test, once competent in their chosen discipline within the rules and regulations of their level. We offer levels testing for WAG/MAG and Trampoline Sports in house for those looking to gain their level badge.

​

Competitive Rules are listed here. MGS will endeavour to support masters in their chosen gym sport and advise interested members of competitions. 

 

Adult Competitions - For those up to the challenge

In 2021, we hosted our first ever WAG and MAG adult competition as part of the Maryborough Masters Games.  Check out how it went here. 

Our 2022 Twist and Flip, Trampoline & Tumbling Competition also had an adult division.

We hosted another Heritage City Classic for WAG and MAG in 2023.

There are beginner and advanced divisions according to age group for 18 and over's, so if you're up for a challenge, make sure you get into training soon!
