Reply to comment by reddituser6213 in Is it just me or is it difficult to find clubs/groups for young adults around here? by reddituser6213

I was on the team for 4 years, so if you have any questions about the gym or the community lmk.

Are there mainly young adults there in the club?

On the MIT team, definitely. It's about half grad students and half undergrads.

On the Cambridge Community Gymnastics (CCG) team it skews ~slightly older, but still I think most members are under 35 or so, and there are definitely plenty of 20-somethings. I list both because they share the space a lot, and CCG practices would frequently overlap with the last 30min of the MIT team practice.

I can also guarantee it's a very beginner friendly space and many participants have zero experience. Going to competitions is encouraged (and fun!) but definitely not required.

The commute might get old over time, but if adult gymnastics is something you're interested in I'd recommend giving it a shot for at least a few weeks and meet the people to see if you vibe with them.

Is it expensive?

Uh oh, bad news....

I just checked again, looks like CCG actually went out of business back in 2020 after Covid hit 😬. Sorry about the false hope and sad to hear the news.
