Slo-Mo Gymnastics, Fast Gymnastics & Talking Gymnastics 

I’m so glad Andy got a mic so we can hear all his quips.

This journey literally inspired me to start gymnastics as a 27 year old. My first class was last week. Keep inspiring, Chelsie 🤘🏻🤸🏻‍♀️

I’m personally happy Chellsie is keeping her double pike. She does it so well and has always been one of my favorites to watch in competition.

Does anyone else think these episodes are not long enough? 😭 When they end I’m like NOOOO I NEED MORE!! 💜

I didn't discover her until this year and I'm mesmerized. An adult woman with this ability. She scoffs at the idea elite gymnastics is for kids.

I don’t think she should do the Patterson either. Her double Pike looks fabulous and I’d rather have the skills she’s doing now over the Patterson. You do you and what you feel is best. It’s your body and you know it best. Keep killing it! If people say your being selfish you say: hell yes I am because it’s my body. I am the only one who can read it and know. People can be so mean.

It’s great that Chellsie is a lean mean non-broken fighting machine, but I admit my favorite things are her lovely pointed toes, her beautiful split and straddle leaps, and the totally cool scales, turns and illusions.

She's got style She's got sass Dad is paying for a tank of gas ⛽

I feel like a lot of the energy she gets right now is out of the " hey I don't have to be exploited and abused by the national team." And it would be so great to see her in the head coach position after she feels like she has accomplished her goals.

We all understand with the Patterson! Please don't let our enthusiasm make you feel pressured! Just stay happy and healthy!

Chellsie and her dad are goals

This is what U.S.A. Gymnastics NEEDS right now.

The practice of tapping the bar instead of catching the bar makes so much more sense now! I love how smart you guys are being with the training overall and it just makes me all that more excited for this comeback.

Message for Chellsie: We are so excited about your comeback, and I can tell you're enjoying the process, which is so important. I don't care who else gets on the Olympic team, I just want you to make it. And then I want you to win any color medal on any event, I don't care what. But even if none of that happens, I want you to know that you have given all of us "old gals" (over 30 haha) the feeling that we aren't too old to try. Also know that you could never let us down (by not getting on team or not winning a medal), as long as you don't give up. We are with you all the way. YOU GOT THIS!

chellsie’s back handspring arabian pike series on the beam is soooo pretty and looks so solid already!!!! i’m wayyyy too excited about her comeback journey hahahaha

When Andy said "clocks not ticking" (not sure of the exact context) it made me realize something - part of what makes Chellsie's training so enjoyable to watch is she has nothing to lose. Her identity is not in being an elite gymnast, with intense pressure to peak in a very narrow window of time. In this case the clock is truly on her side, and years don't count against her. She has experience training, competing, judging, and coaching. It makes her a better, smarter athlete; her attitude feels very focused but more relaxed. Like so many others, I sincerely hope this is the future of the sport. It cultivates maturity and awareness, instead of feeding the cycle of abuse and negative self-image. I couldn't be more excited that these videos are getting so much attention. 😊

Yesss, this slo-mo stuff is super helpful for people like me who don't have an eye for this yet and have a hard time seeing what's going on when it's full speed!!!

This editing and camera work is seriously Netflix documentary quality 🤩

I love all the inside gymnastics talk. The process is really interesting.

I have to say I like the increased talking and explaining about how and why you are doing certain things and not doing things. I'd like to see that continue please 👍🏻😀

ok but can we talk about this cinematography? this week BLEW ME AWAY. the music, editing, and andy’s little comments thrown in there are perfection.

It gives me so much joy seeing chellsie in a leo again! And cleaner and stronger than ever, just amazing.

Love the technique talk! And training smart and healthy. As much as I’d love to see a Patterson, I much rather you stay healthy. Also like that you finish each skill even if it’s off, like on beam. Andy is the best! #teachandyhashtags

WOW! Chelsie’s body and form are sooo great! My goodness... She’s revolutionizing elite gymnastics! It’s sooo much better to watch grown up adults do it... Instead of little kids looking sooo stressed and pressured (and sadly sometimes even abused)! I say raise the gymnastics minimum age requirement from 16 to 18 please! Kids shouldn’t be subjected to all the pressure they do at such a young age... Chellsie is showing that adults can do it mindfully (and maturely knowing what and what your body can and cannot do) while loving it too!❤️

My fav RU-vid channel to watch now!

Andy is a treasure! I love how well he and Chellsie work together with her training style and what is best for her.

i can't believe how high quality and well-edited these videos are, we are so lucky

Sending support from the Netherlands! I love actual adults in gymnastics

Her lines on bars, and everything really, just divine. I'm a form junkie.

Love the moments where Andy and chellsie are clearly having fun but I also love the moments that demonstrate their commitment and love for the sport - when Andy was talking about tapping the bar it was so heartwarming

The Memmel turn looking better than ever.

Andy, you have the calmest, most reassuring presence with just the right amount of firmness too. Chellsie is obviously an extraordinary talent, but I love how collaborative this effort is--you're both making it happen. I feel like any good gymnast could do brilliantly too with you as a coach.

Your face when present after falling off on the split mount is hilarious 😂 Only for a split second but it was kind of a disappointed, toddler bottom lip out kind of face. Seriously though, I totally support what you say about the Patterson and other upgrades people suggest, it's you who's got to get through the routine and have enough energy. I love Carly but if you look at her routine back then there wasn't as much difficult stuff in her routine as gymnasts have to have now to get a competitive D score. Komova and Aly Raisman used to do it but neither were great at sticking it consistently. You do you, but it would be fun to see it into the pit - but only if you feel happy to do it. This is your journey, not ours. X

Chellsie, you're putting other mamas to shame. No more excuses to skip yoga. You are beyond inspiring and amazing. Sending support from Utah

Wow. I'm sitting here watching Chellsie lying on the mat out of breath after completing three tumbling passes in 28 seconds. If I were just to run back and forth for 28 seconds, I'd be the one lying flat on the mat out of breath!

Well, a piked Patterson would in fact prevent cowboying deductions and it would probably be easier to control because it's piked and not tucked. However, it's probably a lot harder to rotate and darn near impossible to land but the fans can dream ahah. Jokes aside the double pike is indeed a respectable dismount and i think it is smart to keep it. Just want to add that i love your videos and i find myself waiting for sunday to come every week so i can watch them. You seem so full of joy and so happy to be doing gymnastics again and i think a lot of people would benefit from learning to keep fighting and doing what they enjoy even when everything and everyone seems to go against them. Good luck on the rest of this journey and don't forget that even though you've amassed a huge following because of this, you're doing it for yourself and you have no obligation whatsoever to entertain us. Don't cave in to our requests if you don't want to. It is YOUR comeback, not ours, but we'll still be here to support you :)

One of my favourite times of the week, Chelsie and her dad showing the world you can achieve ANYTHING you put you mind to and the hours in.

When I was a gymnast in the 1980s, by age 17 your career was over. We also had NONE of the great safety equipment and training tools. And the BARS! So FLEXIBLE! Enjoying watching this journey x

Thanks for explaining your approach to training certain skills. It's fascinating and not a side of gymastics the viewers get to see.

I love that beam mount, it’s so pretty.

Her dad is the most chill person ever.

I love that you are single handedly changing the face of adult gymnastics! It’s so hard for the passionate gymnast to age out. Most gyms don’t offer adult classes. I hope what you are doing changed the mindset of “aging out” of gymnastics! Rooting for you sis!!!

I started going to a cheer gym for tumbling and I'm 22 after watching this!! Thanks for the inspiration 😘😊

That blue leo looks so pretty on you, Chellsie!

It's blatantly obvious and so great to see just where Chellsie gets her self confidence and calming (for us to watch) nature. Coach/Dad Andy is so trusting in her, her abilities and her knowledge of not only her sport but her body. I find myself compelled to watch as much for their interaction as I do, for my love of Chellsies abilities as a gymnast. I've always rooted for her but even more so now!!! #ChellYeah get it girl!

You put the illusion + aerial on high beam 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 it looks so good.

I appreciate you so much for maintaining such a healthy commitment to boundaries and keeping your body safe. You (rightly) are teaching your audience to attempt only what they feel ready for, to train for proper musculature and health, and to do the mental work associated with your craft. It’s such a refreshing contrast to the usual toxic environment of progress and new tricks over everything. THANK YOU.

I really appreciate the fact that you care about your form and execution. It’s really lovely and admirable to see. You’re taking your time and going at a pace that is comfortable for you and I am here for it! Love watching your journey and will continue to support you!

What a wonderful team, Dad and Daughter! They have such gratitude and respect for each other. I love watching them work together. You two are amazing. The world is learning so much from you. Chellsie, you are a beautiful gymnast! Love watching and really like the teaching aspect you guys include. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

I just... I am always in awe of chellsie's poise and form. Always has been an enjoyable gymnast to watch. that pak salto was just *chef's kiss* so nice. You guys have such a smart approach to training, its just very streamlined and precise.

I like being not broken! Well said! You're not being selfish! You just proved why it's best to be an adult gymnasts: you can confidently say NO! You go girl!!!

You’ve inspired me to go back to gymnastics. I’ve had 3 back surgeries including a spinal fusion. I’m beating the odds. My spinal surgeon who did my fusion said I’d likely never be able to jump or tumble again because of pain. Well, I can! I had a spinal cord stimulator so it took away the chronic pain I was in, which is sadly common after fusions. More places need to offer adult gymnastics classes!

The relationship between you and your dad is so special. You can see the respect and trust between both of you. What an amazing time the two of you are experiencing together. ❤️

I love the idea of trying new or uncommonly used yet high point value skills💚💚💚

Love the slow mo & reverse camera 🎥 action on the pak! Smart decision about the double pike beam dismount! Loved hearing the thought process behind it, good insight to how routines are built according to the code! I would love to hear more from you and Andy about the construction of your routines as it relates to the code! It seems to be a game of balancing building the D score but without risking the E score. Also, CHELL YEAH!

As long as you're healthy and we get the Memmel somewhere, there is no need for the Patterson! 👍❤ #YouAreDoingAmazing 🎉❤

The videography is amazing in this video! Chellsie's leaps and jumps are INCREDIBLE and I am OBSESSED with these new combos!

I love the arabesque mount. So graceful. Nice work.

I feel like her perspective now gives her a great judgment of quality and value for routines... Solid and excellent execution is better quality than overloading, injured and sloppy. THANKS FOR THE SLOW MO!!!!! Love it! Even more impressive seeing the intricacies involved!

It’s amazing how quickly it’s all coming together. No more landing in the pit! So exciting.

Not only your gymnnastics is better, also the video and cameras are really amazing!

💓💓💓💪💪💪😻😻😻missing you lots Chellsie. Love you. 💓💓💓 glad to see your dad again !!!

The best part of the week is when these videos begin and the worst part is when they're over :(

This is the strongest, agile woman I have ever seen in the 30ish age group.

Watching this comeback has been such an inspiration for me that I'm not too old to find my talent and excel in it. I'm a pole sport athlete, but I didn't find it until right before I turned 30 and have questioned myself many days on whether or not I'm too old or found it too late. Watching Chellsie, now I know I've got this, and it's helpful because some gymnastic elements can be used for pole mounts and floor transitions. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

I love the slo mo. It really helps me see the detail in the skills. Sometimes they go by too fast. I'm still amazed at the amount of repetition and the slow build up that is required to put a whole routine together. So much patience and discipline is required! Do you think being a judge has changed how you look at building a routine? How much do other gymnasts understand the Code of Points?

Andy is the funniest man ever! But he’s sooo knowledgeable too!

🚨 Andy. Is. Mic’d. Up. 🚨 my day instantly improved right there. God love him.

She is looking great! Brava to her!

That pak salto was gorgeous...and don't let me start with the double straight on floor and that beam mount. You're AWESOME!

I truly believe that most gymnasts peaks in their early 20s because of how coaches would treat them. Starving kids and training them in an extremely abusive environment is a recipe for serious injury and burnout. I’m so glad she’s back!!

It’s mind blowing how quickly you’ve gotten to this point in your training 👏🏻

Kudos to the camera work. Such clarity. I loved watching it.

She is such a big inspiration

I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday! I love seeing your training videos and they are the highlight of my day

Would really like to see Andy do a level 1 floor routine, please!

Memmel up!

Love the slo mo sections and discussion of technique work! woo!

I always look forward to every week to see your progress! Many people are rooting for you!!!!

I really appreciated the explanation on why you go straight from the floor beam to the high beam. I've been wondering about that. It takes a lot of guts but seems to be a very effective technique for you!

Oh man, I am going to have to join instagram because of you guys... Thank you for the videos and the chats HURRAY!!!!

I love the slow-mo! Saves me from slowing down the YT speed and I can see your badass moves so much easier 🤗💖 Keep being awesome Chellsie!

30 mins to go....can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to! This is the highlight of my Sunday’s!

I would love to see Andy do something, even if it's just 3 attempts at full turns on the laser beam and then never again

Love, love, love the slow motion. You can see more of what makes these moves so awesome. You are amazing.💖

Chelsie gets ice cream!😂

I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday! I love seeing your training videos and they are the highlight of my day

Sunday late night Chellsie bath time for the win!

You are absolutely amazing Chelsie! Keep up the good work! You are extremely special and talented. Your beam and bars are coming together like you never took any time off. I am truly amazed! Good job! 💕

Hey chelsies can you do a Q and A one day? My Q would be, of all the skills where you fly through the air, what is your favourite and why??? Could be a bar release, beam dismount, vault. Or tumbling pass. . Oh and your top 10 favourite skills overall 😁. I've never done a double sommie, but I LOVED layouts. And flyaway off the bar 😁. That's about as great as my bar dismount d ever got lol. But it felt SO good 😍

Wow you have gotten SO good!!! LOVE seeing your progress!! U rock!

The slow-mo is awesome!

I totally agree with not doing the Patterson dismount. We've seen Komova and Rebecca Bross stumble on this particular dismount in high stakes competitions. It looks easy but I'm sure it's very difficult!

This women is amazing!!! Dad is very awesome, too!

Amazing !! Keep up the hard work. Love your channel :)

I loooove your Videos!!so inspiring💕

Chell “there is no limit” Memmel Hell Yeah. 👊🏻

The leo looks great! Always cool to see team USA gear from past years. It is amazing that Andy can see things that are happening so fast to give corrections when he sees the skills "live".I know all good coaches need to/can do this to some degree, and they didn't have phones to record high res vids in the '90s-early '00s, but I just find it amazing.

There’s no comment here. How? Also, love you Chells, I have a decision to wait for this premiere and watch your video or go to bed so I can wake up fresh for school. I’m really sorry but I probably have to miss your video premiere but I’m adding it to my Watch Later to watch tomorrow 😘. Can’t miss a single episode. I’ll edit this to update my thoughts. Edit: Chellsie’s vaults look superb. My oh my. When Andy says he wishes he could do this, you know, we can have Andy doing gymnastics too. Follow in her footsteps 😂.

Go girl!!!!!!! I am rooting for you❤
