Question

Is is too late to start gymnastics at 16?

Answer 1

Absolutely not!! I'm 16 and re-starting gymnastics. I was really good when i was younger and regret quitting big time.  It may be harder, but if your willing to work for it, you can absolutely do it! I saw one woman in the olympics this year from germany that was 33 and started gymnastics when she was 19. Make sure it's God's will and the right thing to do and go for it! I recommend private lessons, because you may be placed with kids younger than you if you go into an actual class if you aren't very experienced in the sport and that may cause you to feel uncomfortable in the class. When I was about 7, I took private lessons and that helped me to excel in the sport. When I was around 10 and tried going back to gymnastics, I was behind and took a class. I ended up with younger kids and quit because I felt so uncomfortable. Email a few gyms in your area and explain your circumstance and if they have any suggestions that will help you get a little jump-start into gymnastics!! Have fun!

God Bless!

Honey, no, it's not too late...

I would say though if you're thinking of doing it professionally, then you may be behind, but if you're doing it because you love it and it will make you happy, then it's never too late.

I just signed myself up for a ballet class (I'm 21) and while I'll never be a professional, I'll still get to dance! So if I can dance, sweetie you can do gymnastics!
