GYMNASTICS STRENGTH TRAINING

What is Gymnastics Strength Training? A system of exercise which utilizes the body’s own resistance to build world class levels of strength, power, agility, balance and mobility.

Who is Coach Sommer? Coach Sommer is a long time National Team Coach for the US Men’s Gymnastics Team. He has personally developed several National Champions and over the course of his career has trained hundreds and hundreds of state, regional and national level medalists. He also is the only gymnastics coach in the world at the elite level to work with adult fitness populations. GymnasticBodies is the only program in the world of its kind that has been proven successful both with elite athletes and adult beginners. This is largely due to Coach Sommer developing his athletes from day one all the way until they are polished national competitors. The GymnasticBodies program is the result of what works to produce these champions from scratch.

Can’t I just get strong by lifting weights? You can make muscles stronger by lifting weights, but it does not transfer to bodyweight skills. Gymnastic Strength Training makes you strongest using exercises that work your entire body while also becoming more flexible, less injury prone, more mobile, and evenly muscular. GST transfers extremely well to weight lifting. Coach Sommer’s students have walked into the weight room and pulled a 3x bodyweight deadlift, benched 2x bodyweight after learning technique, and jerked 150% bodyweight within the first 40 minutes of Olympic lifting instruction. We love weight training, but only after you properly prepare your body first.
