Peak Performance Gymnastics Camp
By The Gymnastics Doc
Dr. Ian Crider here, inviting you back to the Peak Performance Gymnastics Camp. In this 5th year of camp, we have ADDED a new location, Phoenix, AZ, and will be back in Indianapolis, IN. We have also added a boys camp as well! USA Youth Fitness Center in Gilbert, AZ and The Gymnastics Company in Indianapolis, IN have both agreed to host camp this year, and I could not be more excited for it!
If you are new to this camp, the focus is not only to help your gymnast develop the skills they need, but also assist them in learning more about mental, physical, and nutritional wellness.Â
During camp, your gymnast will become better equipped with practical knowledge needed to ensure great success in this crazy sport that they love!
This year we are accepting competitive Women’s Artistic Gymnasts ages 7-17  at our Indianapolis and Phoenix locations and competitive Men's Artistic Gymnasts ages 7-17 at our Phoenix location only. All practices and activities will be catered appropriately to each level or age group to maximize the fun and learning!
Back and better for this year:
Coaches, Dr. Ian has partnered with the National Gymnastics Association to bring you some high quality coaches clinics. For more information click the button below!
More than a Gymnastics Camp
Yes, we will still be learning amazing skills, but it will be SO MUCH MORE! Your gymnast will learn the importance of self-care and mental well-being in three specific areas by multiple subject-matter experts. Their areas include:
- Physical Health- Dr. Ian Crider, PT will be helping the gymnasts learn about recovering faster, preventing injury, and training smarter not harder.
- Mental Health- Rebecca Grady, LMHC, NCC will be teaching on topics such as mental toughness, getting through mental blocks, positive self talk, and more!
- Nutrition- Kerry Bair, RD will help your gymnast be confident in what they are eating, knowing how to properly fuel for practice, and what eating right really looks like.
This will all be accomplished in a fun, easy to learn, atmosphere!
Dr. Ian Crider, PT
After competing for 16 years and coaching for almost 20 years, Dr. Ian is now a physical therapist who has a passion for helping gymnasts stay happy, healthy, and safe. He has made it his mission to help coaches, parents, and gymnasts perform at their best while avoiding injuries.Â
Dr. Ian came up with the idea for Peak Performance Gymnastics Camp in order to further his mission by reaching more gymnasts and coaches. Through this camp and his other programs, he is working hard to have his dream become reality.
“All I want is for the gymnastics world to be able to use the knowledge I have gained through formal education and personal experience, to transform this sport into what I know it can be!”
