Why Gymnastics Benefits Every Athlete

Strict gymnastics movements lay the foundation for safe, strong, and controlled movement. At Sanitas, we believe: before we kip, we build. By training strict pull-ups, dips, handstands, and core control, you're developing:

  • Full-body mobility and strength

  • Awareness of muscles often neglected in traditional strength work

  • Better body awareness and control

  • Greater resilience against injury

Getting your first strict pull-up or handstand push-up? It’s not just cool—it’s incredibly empowering and rewarding!

What Gymnastics Looks Like at Sanitas

Over the past few weeks, you’ve likely noticed:

  • More focused strict gymnastics training

  • Bodybuilding-style finishers to build volume and joint support

  • Targeted skill work in both regular classes and our Thursday night Gymnastics Strength class

All of these pieces help close strength gaps, correct imbalances, and improve movement mechanics across the board.

What’s Next: Murph Prep & More

As we transition out of our current strength cycle, we’ll return to more strict gymnastics development. Expect:

  • Intentional, progressive strength work

  • More joint-friendly training volume

  • Continued focus on high-skill gymnastics movements and scalable progressions

Our goal is to help every athlete—from beginner to advanced—move their own body with confidence, control, and strength.

The Bottom Line

Gymnastics strength training builds smart, capable, and durable athletes. It improves balance, coordination, and helps unlock advanced skills like strict pull-ups and handstand push-ups.
