I started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon's Gymnastix in Houston, and that's how I got started.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.
I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age.
When I was young I wanted to be a gymnast. I used to compete at it, but then I grew too tall.
I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.
I believe you can be young and compete in gymnastics if you have a coach who is looking out for you and if there is a good gym environment where the coaches are taking care of you emotionally and physically.
Only recently have I been introduced to the gym and heavy weightlifting and things like that. Before that, when I grew up, I just did a lot of gymnastics and dance. I had more of an athletic background, but nothing where I was in the gym or using any kind of weights.
My parents enrolled me in a gymnastics class when I was three years old, and I just was drawn to gymnastics. I loved it. It was my playground, and I could run around and be free there.
I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.
I got into rhythmic gymnastics when I was four years old.
