THE gymnastics club at YMCA Barry prides itself on being a ‘Gym for All’ club by catering to all ages and abilities.
Over recent years, YMCA Barry have been providing Adult Gymnastics classes for all abilities and this year the club entered a team of six into the British Adult Championships. This event celebrates the fact that gymnastics is not just for children, it is for all ages and abilities.
All six gymnasts came home with at least one medal which was a huge achievement when competing against gymnasts from all over Britain. The results are as follows: Jon Davies became the Intermediate 30 years and over British Champion and Gareth Slocombe placed second in the intermediate over 30s trampolining category.
The six team members – Jon Davies, Gareth Slocombe, Jacqui Bennett, Thandiwe McDonnell, Rosie Cumming and Zoe Greenwood competed together in the mixed aged Novice Team Tumbling competition and placed third overall. Notably, Jon also became the British Novice Tumbling Champion out of all the different age groups.
YMCA Barry Gymnastics has classes suitable from babies a few weeks old all the way to teen and adult gymnastics classes. To discuss a class, contact YMCA Barry on 01446 724000, email or messaging on social media @ymcabarry.
