During the first week of school holidays in September 2019 PIT participated in the National Clubs Carnival held up on the Gold Coast. It was a great week away from the stagnant Melbourne weather and a great experience for the gymnasts and their families to travel interstate for competition.

The week itself was action packed with PIT teams busy competing at the venue or busy riding the roller coasters at the theme parks. A personal highlight for the trip for me (aside from the gymnastics of course!) was h...

It was a cold Sunday afternoon when our 2 ALP 6 Division 1 girls arrived at BTYC to compete in Session 1 of 2 Sessions for the Trans Bass Trial.

Both Jas and Lucy put 100% into every routine they performed despite any challenges they faced throughout the competition. It was a nervous start on Beam, with the girls feeling the weight of the competition on their shoulders, but the girls managed to pull through 2 solid Beam routines with no falls. They then continued to shine with great confidence and beauti...

Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th August, saw the WAG Level 2-6 girls compete at their first external competition for the year.

After copious hours of hard work and dedication in the gym, learning new skills and perfecting routines, the girls were ready to shine. Nerves were running high and excitement filled the air.

The Level 2 girls were bubbling with excitement for their fir...

We had a few nervous wobbles at the start of Parallel Bars b...

PIT Gymnastics is excited to officially unveil a fresh new look!

As this is our 40th anniversary, it’s a great opportunity for the club to update the PIT Gymnastics logo and philosophy to a more contemporary look as we head into our 5th decade of operation. It’s been an incredible journey which all started with John Dorrington in a tiny auxiliary gym at Phillip Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1979, now formally known as RMIT in Bundoora.

This re-vamp for the club will build and expand on the existing bra...

It is a great achievement for our very own Level 7 gymnasts Sarki, Newman and Thomas to have been selected to represent their state at the 2019 Australian Gymnastics Championships. For these three young men it was their very first time competing at Nationals and an experience that they will never forget.

Pressure was on right from the start for the Level 7 opens on day 1 of competition for the Team Event.  Floor was the first apparatus and  all the boys on team Vic showed nerves of steel as they stuck mo...

The Victorian Championships for the Senior Girls was held on the weekend of the 12th-14th April.  The girls, their families and Coach BJ travelled down to Geelong to compete. 

On Friday evening we saw Bec our Level 10 gymnast compete and what a fantastic meet for her. With two huge outstanding pike Tsuks, Bec won Silver on Vault and her floor routine was also excellent gaining her a second medal though it was Bronze this time.  So overall a fantastic competition for her.

The Level 8 gymnasts had to w...
