Helping Your New Gymnastics Moms & Dads Buy the Right Leotards

Posted on 11. May, 2009 by Bob Wilson in Gymnastics Wear

New gymnastics parents are going to be coming into your shop or your gym and asking you for advice on how to buy the right leotard or which leotard to choose. So, what do you tell them?

I’d love to tell you to tell them to buy MotionWear leotards, but I can’t. The truth is, you should tell them to buy based on fit and fit alone. Don’t buy on brand, don’t buy on price and don’t even worry about size. The only thing they should be thinking about is “how well does this fit?” and maybe “how comfortable or how practical is the fabric?”

How to Get the Right Fit

The good news is they’re in your store or gym, meaning they can actually try on different gymnastics leotards and at least get a feel for them. If they don’t like a particular pattern or color, they can always order from the catalog, but at least they’ve tried it on.

Here at MotionWear, fit is the most important thing to us and we’ve spent years perfecting our patterns and styles for gymnastics leotards. Everything, right down to the type of elastic used or the stitching in the armpit, has been carefully selected, tested and engineered before it goes into production. Fit is our science.

And ideally, our gymnastics leotards would fit everyone perfectly. Unfortunately, they don’t. They fit most gymnasts perfectly and we’ve developed a strong and loyal following thanks to that, but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect for everyone. In fact, you probably know this already, but no brand is perfect for everyone.

So, again, tell your new gymnastics parents to try out a few brands, styles and sizes before they settle and don’t just jump on a particular brand because everyone else is wearing it. Because guess what? Their kid isn’t everyone else.
