My gym in Portsmouth, New Hampshire will once again be hosting an Adult Gymnastics Camp for men and women. We have been lucky enough to host a few of these in the past. I love the energy, humor and work ethic that the adults bring to camp.
This camp was featured on Chronicle and in many articles and the Gymcastic podcast.
Many of the adults are used to coaching themselves in open gym situations so this is a very unique situation for them to have an organized gym and coaches.
The camp will be staffed by
–James Parent Vice President of TumblTrak
–Brian Kormann, Owner and Head Coach Yellowjackets gymnastics
–Liz Verhey, guest coach
–Gina Paulhus, AAU Ladies Division Level 8 National Champion, Certified Personal Trainer
–and ME! Tony Retrosi.
The camp brings in gymnasts of ALL levels from beginners who are looking for ways to get in shape/ stay in shape to former college gymnasts. IS ADULT CAMP FOR YOU?

QUESTIONS? gina @ homeexercisecoach.com
Hi, I’m really interested in your next adult camps and i’ll definitely get there in july.
But i have a question, not about the camp, but more about the age discrimination that exists in gymnastics. I mean, lots of sports are open to adults but in gymnastics, it is really hard (impossible?) to find real classes for adult, with all the rigor and dedication and training that are needed, and i would like to know why?
I have found drop-in classes (just a few) but they are more about fun and are not really supervised.
Thank you for your answers
Many times it depends on INSURANCE. Some insurance companies do not cover you after a certain age. From a business stand point, it is difficult to staff a class for busy adults
