How do we train?

We are a group of gymnasts of skill levels ranging from complete beginners to competitive gymnasts. Accordingly, average attendance of our training sessions varies from every once in a while to several times a week. Whilst doing gymnastics is in all probability the best method for conditioning we also tend to do conditioning sessions or endurance exercise at least once a week. While gymnastics is a competitive sport and we do tend to get ambitions at least when it comes to the annual competition against the Oxford teams, we generally understand the ultimate aim to be to experiment, progress individually, relax from academic work and have fun in our free time.

When do we train?

Training at the University Sports Centre takes place at 10:00am to 12:00pm on Sundays and 8:00pm to 10:00pm on Tuesdays. We have Strength and Conditioning sessions at the University Sports Centre from 1:30pm to 2:30pm on Saturdays. We also train externally at Spectrum Gymnastics on Wednesdays from 8:30pm to 10:00pm and at Milton Keynes Gymnastics on Fridays from 8:30pm to 10:00pm.

Where do we train?

University Sports Centre

While the Sports Centre is all new and shiny we have only got minimal gym equipment including some basic floor mats, parallel bars, a pommel horse, a low and a high beam, a trampette and several springboards. Nonetheless it is perfectly suited for staying in shape, conditioning and practicing some core skills on the above apparatuses.


External sessions

We also attend (and organise transport to) training sessions at fully equipped facilities at Milton Keynes Gymnastics and Spectrum Gymnastics in Bury St. Edmunds.

Milton Keynes Gymnastics

Milton Keynes Gymnastics Club is a fully equipped gym about 55 minutes away from Cambridge. Fully qualified coaches are there to help anyone who participates in the session.

Spectrum Gymnastics

Spectrum Gymnastics Club is a fully equipped gym about 30 minutes away from Cambridge. Fully qualified coaches are there to help anyone who participates in the session.
