Isla’s gymnastics journey has taken an exciting step forward: she’s moved up to the advanced class at Gymfinity. Over the past few years she’s worked hard on strength, flexibility and confidence, and this move is a great reward for her dedication.
I wrote about how she first started at Gymfinity before, and now that she’s in the advanced class she’ll be developing more complex skills, refining technique and pushing herself to new heights.

Moving up to advanced will challenge Isla in several new ways. The top five areas she’ll focus on are:
– Tumbling: She’ll work on longer, more complex sequences, linking skills like round-offs, back handsprings and aerials to create smoother, more powerful routines. That will take strength, precision and lots of practice.
– Core strength and flexibility: These become even more important at this level. She’ll do exercises to improve balance, control and endurance so she can perform moves with greater ease and confidence.
– Bars and beam: These apparatus require precision and nerve. Isla will practice tougher bar transitions, build grip strength, and perfect more intricate footwork and balance work on the beam.
– Routines: As her skills grow, she’ll learn to put together full routines that show off her ability. The class will help her polish form, perform under pressure and develop the artistic side of her routines.
– Mental strength: Gymnastics is as much mental as physical. Isla will learn to push through challenges, stay motivated and keep a positive mindset — lessons that carry beyond the gym.
Watching Isla reach this milestone has been so rewarding. Gymfinity has been a fantastic place for her to grow, and I’m excited to see what she achieves next. Is your child on a gymnastics journey too? I’d love to hear about their experiences.
