OUGym Alumni

Hi OUGym alumni! This year Oxford is hosting Varsity on Sunday 5th March at Abingdon Gymnastics Club!

We are still looking for at least 1 MAG judge and at least 2 WAG judges. If you have a qualification or you know anyone who could help, please reach out to Benedetta Mussati (President) or Edward Yarrow (Secretary)!

BUS TIMETABLE UPDATE:

Thames Travel have updates their bus timetables as of 21st Nov. I'm aware a few alumni will be joining us for today's session so if you are taking the bus from the city centre, please take the X40 bus from K2 stop on High Street outside Queen's college. The bus leaves at 16:54, but everyone will be meeting at 16:45.

Further timetable updates will be shared with our mailing list. To join, please email our secretary, Wen ([email protected]) with the subject 'Mailing List'

Gym Love,
Lewis (President)

Thank you for your donations to the sports campaign!
This additional funding raised has allowed us to cover transport costs for our members this year which has incentivised more people to try out gymnastics - we're only half way through Michaelmas term and we've already exceeded our membership target for the academic year 🤸😀 Your donations really do make a difference!
Donations are still welcome at http://bit.ly/31Pk7Xq

Sending a huge thank you to all our active supporters, your generosity has enabled us to raise a grand total £62,000 for sport clubs across Oxford during our fundraising campaign.

Thank you!

Donations are still welcome if you would like to support the campaign: http://bit.ly/31Pk7Xq

OUGym Live - Restart!

We'd love for you to join our training sessions for the rest of this term. All links to join sessions can be found on our term card - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_P1YGatPTaFGXxL83yu_wFVK0nvzt26OIKTPqfo-Teg/edit?usp=sharing

Sessions will be twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm.
Wednesdays will be dedicated to learning a particular skill and some mobility work. Fridays will be focused on fitness with a full body circuit that will allow you to track your progress from week to week, finishing each session with a short cardio challenge!
For full details, check out the term card.

Planche Training
I've come up with a series of progressions for you to identify your starting point and I will soon have a training plan to go alongside each level too! The aim is to have progressed by one level by the time we reach the end of term. More info to be explained on Wednesday but if possible bring a couple of ~0.5kg dumbbells or equivalent (e.g. two cans of baked beans). See you there!!

Gym Love,

Lewis
