Much More Than A Sport For Kids

 

Gymnastics has long been thought of as a discipline reserved for children. But the reality is that more and more adults around the world are discovering the transformative power of gymnastics and acrobatics in their lives, both physically and emotionally.

You don't need to have practised as a child, or to be in exceptional physical shape. All you need is the desire to learn, to move, to challenge yourself. Because it's never too late to reconnect with your body and enjoy the process.


 

Physical, Mental and Functional Benefits in Adults

 

 

Regular practice of gymnastics and acrobatics in adulthood offers visible and sustained improvements in multiple areas:

At the physical level:

  • Improved joint mobility and elasticity.

  • Increased functional and core strength.

  • Improved coordination and body balance.

  • Postural re-education and injury prevention.

  • Stimulation of metabolism and body weight control.

On a mental and emotional level:

  • Reduced stress and increased daily energy.

  • Strengthening of self-esteem and body confidence.

  • Overcoming fear and increasing emotional control.

  • Constant stimulation of concentration and mindfulness.

  • A sense of achievement and constant motivation for progression.

In everyday life:

  • Greater safety when moving, lifting or exerting oneself.

  • Improved performance in other disciplines (crossfit, yoga, team sports).

  • More agility to play with your children or face everyday physical challenges.

Recreational or Competitive: Two Ways, One Benefit

 

At Indomove Academy, we firmly believe that everyone should find their own way to experience movement. Some are looking to improve their fitness, others to break down fears, and others simply to feel alive. That's why our classes suit those who come for health and enjoyment as well as those who are looking to challenge themselves and compete.

Recreational gymnastics and acrobatics:

  • No pressure. You learn at your own pace, with progressive challenges.

  • Safe, fun and motivating group atmosphere.

  • Ideal for adults with no previous experience.

  • The aim is to enjoy, to improve, to connect.

Competitive or advanced approach:

  • For those who want to train more technically demanding.

  • Focus on clear objectives: strength, skills, body control.

  • Possibility to participate in exhibitions or acrobatic challenges.

  • Personal evolution to another level.

Both paths share a common factor: physical and mental transformation. The important thing is to start.

 

Recreational or Competitive: Both paths are valid.

One of the great myths surrounding gymnastics is that it only makes sense if it is practised at a competitive level. Nothing could be further from the truth. Recreational gymnastics allows children to explore their bodies, gain confidence, and enjoy themselves without pressure, while competitive gymnastics provides a stage for developing commitment, consistency, and managing success and failure.

Recreational Gymnastics:

  • Ideal for those looking for fun and safe physical activity.

  • Classes adapted to ages and levels, without competitive demands.

  • Greater creative freedom and self-paced development.

Competitive Gymnastics:

  • Development of a rigorous and goal-oriented discipline.

  • Encouragement of the mentality of self-improvement.

  • Participation in tournaments, which builds confidence and resilience.

Both can co-exist. A child can start on the recreational track and, in time, opt for the competitive track if he or she wishes to do so.
