They actually owe me one more lesson and $5 in credit but this pass has changed my life so incredibly that I really shouldn't be bitching. I truly am grateful while it lasted.
For my final lesson, I convinced my sister to join me in adult gymnastics at GIM Sports International, the first place I tried gymnastics at. Me, my sister and two other folks fell into the beginner's group. We had to start off with a wheel and Coach Benny immediately pointed to me.
'You! You come before, I remember! The strong girl!'
I laughed and went over to demonstrate a wheel. He made me demonstrate the handstand and a back-roll, both of which are ridiculously easy under his guidance.
The girls started working on their cartwheels so we chatted for a bit. He recalled how I shocked him the last time I was here when I ran towards the vertical rope in the gym and mounted to the top in seconds. He said from there on, he knew I had strength, just no balance.
We worked on quite a lot of things. After the wheel, handstand, cartwheel and back-roll, he brought us to the trampoline. I did spectacularly until this back-related move. Pretty much almost died there.


The class ended and I was taking photos with my sister. One of the more experienced girls in class came over to help with my handstand. After that, I made my sister follow me to the rings.
I transitioned smoothly move to move, from an L pull up to a legs-straight-in-the-air to a pike hang. Coach Benny watched me through it all and when I dismounted, he happily said 'ok next time we do rings!'
I then happily pronounced I wanted to sign a package and instead of pushing me a promo pamphlet immediately, he went 'yeah ok. better come next week ah. I have more things to teach you.'
No regard to whether I'm using a fitness pass or their in-house package, only a devoted integrity to the sport. WHERE ELSE CAN I FIND INSTRUCTORS LIKE THIS!?
So now my dilemma is: should I continue with KFit for 8 lessons a month at GIM Sports International for just $99, cheaper than their in-house package, with two additional lessons that I can dedicate to Alpha Gen/ contemporary dance?
THE DILEMMA CONTINUES!
