Commenting on the event, Ondine said: "It was amazing to be a part of GymFusion Aylesbury, to see so many gymnasts coming together and having so much fun performing was incredible to see. Gymnastics is definitely a sport for everyone, and you can see that GymFusion unites whole communities.

"The performances by all the clubs were so impressive and unique, everyone should be really proud of what they achieved together - it definitely inspired me!"

Coach Beth from Loughborough Acrobatics Gymnastics Coach, one of the teams that performed also commented: “As a club we have attended GymFusion events for over a decade and continue to look forward to them each year.
