If you’ve ever attended one of our sessions, visited one of our gyms, or looked at any of our content online, then you’ll probably have a fair idea that we are not only passionate about gymnastics, but genuinely wish to champion it. Gymnastics is a sport that encompasses a wide variety of physical activities, including balancing, jumping, swinging, climbing, tumbling, …
Second child syndrome is a phrase that we hear tossed around a lot, usually with quite a negative implication. It’s often used as a stand-in for explaining bad behaviour or an excuse for what is usually a pretty normal developmental stage. But these uses aren’t really accurate or fair to the children it is aimed at, so in this blog …
For this blog post, we’re going to do something a little bit different. We usually highlight a topic or theme of importance to us that we feel will resonate with our readers but without an overly personal angle. This time, however, we would like to share the direct experiences of a client of Gym Bubbas with you all. The reason …
It’s that time of year again when the nights have drawn in, the weather seems to be in a permanently bad mood, and we’re all playing who can leave the heating off the longest. As the shorter and darker days set in, it’s not uncommon to feel the changing of the seasons a bit harder than at other times of …
One of the most significant parts of a child’s growth and development is their hand-eye coordination. This underpins a child’s ability to do so many other things in their lives, yet a lot of the time it isn’t really discussed, or if it is then only certain aspects are mentioned (such as pincer grip).

But can you remember the who, what, when, where, why or how for the overwhelming majority of them? …
One of the questions we get asked quite frequently is “How on earth can babies do gymnastics?” And from the outside looking in, it’s a perfectly valid observation. Afterall, Gymnastics is a sport commonly associated with vastly complex movements and highly refined balancing. Clearly all skills completely outside the abilities of babies. On the other end of the scale, it …
The Winter Olympics might not seem like the most obvious subject for a gymnastics blog, and we can categorically assure you there is not now, nor has there ever been, a gymnastics event at any of the Winter Olympics. No frozen pole vault, no floor routines in mittens and the pommel horse can keep its winter jacket on as gymnastics …
We all know what the last 18 months have been like, so we’re not going to start this blog post with the cliched “The last 18 months have been hard on us all…” type of statement covering the internet at present. Everyone has been through it but now is a time of hope, recovery, and introspection, not further doom and …
Out of the doom and gloom that was 2020, it’s been hard to find any degree of positivity or joy in the wider world.
