Rec Gym Pros – Top Posts of 2021

Another year has flown by – and another weird one, thanks to a certain virus.  

Thankfully, there were still some very creative coaches and clubs out there — sharing their amazing rec & preschool gymnastics stations, circuits & drills.

I’m proud of another year of growth for Rec Gym Pros and the release of my colouring book! Plus, we ran a couple roundtables that generated 100’s of amazing ideas for coaches to implement in their gyms.

On social media, we’re now a few people shy of 14K on facebook and about 11.7K over on instagram! Holy smokes. 

Big thanks to everyone who liked, shared, commented and tagged us this year!
