Stella's Story

Stella’s mum contacted our team after discovering the Gymfinity and Beyond campaign on our social media channels. The short passage below was taken from Stella’s notebook, which Jennie kindly sent in.

Stella is 9 years old and enjoys training and learning new skills in the Colchester squad.

“I started at Gymfinity Colchester in February 2018, my confidence in my ability was down due to several mental blocks so I joined Gymfinity to fall in love with gymnastics again. I went straight into the advanced class and when I met my coach we clicked straight away. Kai saw something in me, something that I knew was still there deep down but it took someone special to bring it out of me again.

Kai pushed me to believe in myself again, getting a star of the week certificate in my second week meant so much to me. I was starting to think that I could be really great at gymnastics. Week after week I tried new moves and moves that I never thought I would be able to do.

What I like most about Gymfinity is that it is for children of all abilities, everyone is welcome and everyone is encouraged. I like it when other children watch what I can do and say ‘wow’, it makes me feel good and boosts my confidence. “

We want to hear about the difference Gymfinity Kids has made to your family beyond your child’s weekly classes. Whether that’s an increase in confidence, your child is making friends, won a Star of the Week certificate or has mastered a technical move, we want to know.
