Designing the Perfect Open-Back Leotards

What’s one of the most popular leotard trends right now? You’ve probably seen them in your gym lately: open-back leotards. Gymnasts love the stylish look of a strappy, open-back leotard. The extra cooling that comes from a more open style is an added bonus.

However, there are drawbacks to this popular style that range from aesthetic issues to safety concerns in the gym. That’s why our open-back leotards are designed with those drawbacks in mind, so we can find the balance between an on-trend and stylish leotard and a safe and comfortable fit for the gymnast wearing it.

‘Twas the Night Before the Gym Meet

Written by Kaitlyn Gilman

Inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore

‘Twas the night before the gym meet, and throughout all the gyms

Gymnasts were practicing their skills, and stretching their limbs.

They wished each other luck as they headed outside,

And drove home for dinner, homework, and bedtime.

The gymnasts then nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of victory danced in their heads.

The next morning they rose, all ready and rested;

Prepared to perform their best; prepared to be tested.

Now floor, now bars, now vault, now beam!

Gymnasts hear the cheers from the crowd and their team!

As events come to a close, the gymnasts converge

To see which winners emerge.
