I’ve moaned for years about the lack of opportunity for adults to do gymnastics in Calgary.
Last year one of the clubs dropped their adult program.
But this year one club added a program — Stampede City and now Jodie Bevis confirms Gymtastics (Tuesday nights 8:45-10PM) is running adult.
There’s more adult gym — at least 4 clubs in a city of 1 million — than ever before.
Is this a trend anywhere else?
By the way, I must say (again) how much I like the Gymtastics website and branding. Congratulations to owner Darlene “the bean” Fedyna. She’s built her club from nothing to one of the programs we all want to emulate.
It helps Darlene that she competes in the marketplace against clubs governed by elected Boards of Directors. Darlene can make bold decisions far more easily than can volunteer trustees. It’s the biggest weakness of the socialist Canadian gymnastics model.
