Hi from New Jersey Vicky with our group After a week in Minneapolis, we flew to New Jersey. My third and final trial in the US was at MG Elite.  Honestly, I was the most nervous before the first practice at MG Elite, because I was most excited about it. I went to the gym for the first time on Monday, October 1st. I was supposed to try for a week and then decide which club of these three (Texas Dreams, Twin City Twisters, MG Elite) I would stay until mid-December. It was actually Maggie's suggestion to try out these three different clubs before making the decision.  After my first practice at MG Elite, I said to my mom that I wanted to stay here. I was really confident in my decision :) MG Elite is not a big club and they don't have a big gym either. There are not many girls, but all of them are amazing. Maggie has just five girls on her team and our other coach Victoria Levine (Vicky) has her own group. We have practice usually from 8:30 am till 1 pm and second prac

On Monday I started training at Twin City Twisters.  The vibe and the feeling at the gym were so warm and welcoming! Twin City Twisters gym was definitely smaller than in Texas. Despite that, the gym was really busy all the time. The training schedule was also different than in Texas. In TCT we trained from Monday till Friday from 1.30pm till 5.30pm. So just 4 hours a day plus morning practice twice a week. On Saturdays practice was from 7am till 12pm. This added up to 29h per week which is almost the same as my normal week in Finland. All the girls from Level 9 to Elite were training at that time and the gym was dedicated only for them. Small children and recreational were training in a separate section at the gym (the gym is divided with a wall into two sections). I was really happy that I was able to train with Elite  very day and learn
