Hi guys.
Over the past year I've checked out a lot of weekly activities in my area but I thought maybe I should stick to one rather then constantly doing different things.
I was wondering what your experience with gymnastics and ballet were? Theres some points specific to me bellow but any discussion is good discussion.
I was tossing up between Areal Silks, Gymnastics and ballet. A few points about them:
Silks:
For me it's more about what will make me more graceful and learn cool tricks.
I really like the idea of Ballet but I'm worried I started too late to learn the cool stuff. With Gymnastics I know for sure I'll be able to learn cool tricks (a lot faster then if I practised at home).
I thought this would be the best sub because body weight workouts have been consistently my main physical activity.

Silks:
- Silks is the most expensive
- It's really fun and get plenty of time with the teacher
- I did two terms, around the second half of the second term I feel like I plateaued and I can't get better without dedicating more then an hour a week to it
- It's really expensive
- I've basically decided to not do silks but people are still able to convince me.
- Gymnastics is the cheapest.
- Kind of just an open gym where we can ask questions.
- I feel like I could learn most the stuff that I'll be capable of (handstands, handsprings, one arm cartwheels) by myself in a park or something.
- I will be able to progress in all the tricks a lot faster in a gym made to learn them with teachers giving me hints.
- It starts about an hour after the other classes so I'll have to wait around after work or go home for half hour and head back
- I was basically set on doing this because the instructor said I'll get a discount if I do this and hip-hop classes. BUT the day hip-hop is clashed with ultimate Frisbee and I've decided I'd rather do Frisbee.
- I'm not sure how much I can actually learn as a 23 year old kinda-flexible dude.
- Class is a bit shorter then the others (45 minutes) but there is a lot less fluffing around then the others.
