WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

{

As the father of three daughters who frequent the Glacier Gymnastics Club, I wish to express my deep gratitude for the place that this club has taken in my children’s upbringing. Glacier Gymnastics is an institution in our little town. It is a valued space, where girls make dear friends, explore their physicality in an empowering way, and look up to the excellent role models that are their assistant coaches and coaches.

Too often, we hear of gymnastics clubs being competitive, soul-crushing environments. Glacier Gymnastics is the antidote to this image. Glacier Gymnastics fosters everything positive about athletic endeavours: attentive, patient and safe development of the body; peer encouragement and support; healthy lifestyle; self-respect. The staff team at Glaciers Gymnastics is to thank for this. Again, as a father of three daughters, I feel very lucky to have this experience made available to my girls.

I whole heartedly support Glacier Gymnastics application to the Jumpstart program. In the grander scheme of things, I would say that anything that can be done to help the Club helps make our world a slightly better place!

My 9-year-old daughter has always been active and loves to do cartwheels and stunts. However, she was reluctant to join a formal class because of the pressure. We started her in a Trampoline and Tumbling class this year just to give her a taste of what formal classes are like. Within 4 weeks of joining the Glacier Gymnastics club, she was asking to start in the developmental classes and now goes to gymnastics 3 hours a week.

Whatever magic they have going on there worked for her! She comes out of the gym with a huge smile on her face each time and is getting stronger every day. She recently started to talk about wanting to join Cirque du Soleil! It has boosted her self-esteem and confidence. We are so pleased with this gym.

The Glacier Gymnastics club has been an essential part of our family. My oldest son spent years at the club and I am happy to say the club gave him a lifelong love of athleticism. He can still do flips, handsprings, and corks, and often reflects on how essential gymnastics has been to his well being. I( strongly recommend working with the club.
