Great year for Gymtrix athletes

Members of North Bay Gymtrix trampoline, women’s artistic and men’s artistic elite teams, finished the 2004 season with the best rankings to date for the club.
The club has made the leap to National Stream in two disciplines and the athletes have ‘stepped up to the plate’ and finished the season with incredible results.

Members of the Gymtrix ‘Elite’ team:
