University of Alabama Gymnastics Gym
They seem to have an awesome gym to workout in: [quote]The Crimson Tide practices in a state of the art training facility. The 12,500-square foot main practice space boasts a design that is at once attractive and extremely functional. The equipment is all arranged to give an increased fluidity in practice. There are six uneven bars stations, five balance beams, three vaults and an oversized floor in place. [/quote] [quote]Multiple soft landing pits are available for all four apparatus, giving the Tide the freedom to train skills in enhanced safety. It also gives Alabama the capability of teaching a variety of skills as the same time.[/quote] [quote]"Our video system has been a big plus," David Patterson said. "We have multiple cameras in the gym and at any given moment, without having to go get a video camera, you can push a button and watch that event. It has become more and more of an integral part of practice. Gymnasts can look at their skills and see a technical thing that they need to do to fix something or see where they need to be a little tighter and keep that leg a little straighter."
