Gear and Equipment for Gymnasts

Home Training

I am including some home gym items in case your family has a designated room at home for some helpful equipment. Bringing gymnastics training home has never been easier. Whether your athlete is working on her first cartwheel or perfecting her back handspring, having the right equipment at home can make a real difference in her progress and confidence. Home training between gym sessions allows young gymnasts to build strength, muscle memory and skill repetition at their own pace and in a safe, familiar environment. From balance beams and tumbling mats to inflatable air tracks, the right tools give serious athletes the edge they need — and give gym parents peace of mind knowing their child is training safely. Here are some of our favorite home gymnastics equipment picks, trusted by coaches and athletes alike.

**The Addie Balance Beam-**with Leg Risers brings real training home. At 8 feet long with adjustable leg risers, it’s perfect for gymnasts looking to build confidence, improve balance and practice skills safely between gym sessions. A great investment for any serious young athlete..

Tumbl Trak has a perfect **Sectional Floor Balance Beam** nice and close to the floor for safety practicing new skills before moving up to the raised variety.

tmb trk oct mat — **The Tumbl Trak Octagon Skill Shape Tumbling Mat** is a go-to training tool for developing foundational tumbling skills at home. Specifically designed to support back handsprings and cartwheels, it provides a safe and confidence building surface for gymnasts. Durable and lightweight— a smart addition to any home training space.

Z Kip Bar and Folding Gymnastics Mat

Looking for a way to give your gymnast a little more room to practice at home? This Z ATHLETIC gymnastics kip bar and mat set is a practical option for home training.

The horizontal bar adjusts from 36 to 58 inches, allowing it to grow with your gymnast as she develops her skills. The included 4′ x 6′ x 2″ gymnastics mat provides a cushioned surface underneath the bar, while the vinyl covering makes it easy to wipe clean.

One feature I especially like for home use is that the mat has hook-and-loop connections on two sides, so additional mats can be attached to create a larger practice area.

This is a good choice for gymnasts who are working on bar skills at home and for families looking for a more substantial piece of home gymnastics equipment without building an entire home gym.

As always, home gymnastics equipment should be used with appropriate supervision and a safe practice area.
