Chellsie's Adult Gymnastics Journey: Week 13

[@kelslovesdragqueens1249]

It’s official. This is the best thing to come out of 2020

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Can’t argue

[@Eessgg93]

Definitely.

[@melissabrown2837]

100%

[@bela516]

The only thing giving me hope right now!!

[@sfhayesvalley]

I don't have kids or want kids, and I'm probably about her Dad's age, but I love gymnastics and I COMPLETELY enjoy watching her videos every week. I feel like I'm watching a new model for achieving success.

[@peettteerrr]

That BHS to piked arabian would be the combo of the quad! It’s crazy to me how you have always pushed the boundaries of difficulty in each quad. You’ve only been consistently back in the gym for only 13 weeks and already are training harder skills than you were 8 years ago 🤩🤩 Keep it up Chells, we are all seriously rooting for you ❤️

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!

[@shaunkamakea-young9672]

I love the relationship between the two of them. Still waiting with bated breath and all digits crossed. One of my favorite gymnast of all time who had some of the most inopportune injuries.

[@shaunkamakea-young9672]

I got waaaaay too giddy when she finally started swinging!!!!! This is the joy we need in our lives right now.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you, we work well together!

[@422SAPD]

No fair I can’t cross my toes😘

[@elizabethbryanna]

I think we just witnessed the beginning of the comeback, ladies and gentlemen... 😍😍

[@heatherjay843]

I loved seeing your daughter do that trick on bars! And your son doing his handstands! They seem to have inherited your natural gymnastic ability. :) so cute and impressive, seriously.

[@kristinahanksmcnulty6512]

Have I been refreshing KZbin all day? You decide. Yes is the answer.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

:)

[@kristinahanksmcnulty6512]

Chellsie Memmel seriously- former gymnast mom here who is 32. Started back up this year and feeling so inspired and strong. You’re a bad ass!

[@trey8872]

Chellsie has always been a phenomenally talented gymnast. She and I are the same age, so I’m living vicariously through her.

[@PhenixJoe]

I love the dynamic between you and your dad. He has so much faith in you, and he should. You’re one of the most tenacious and fearless athletes I’ve had the pleasure of watching, and for 17 years no less. I am 33; feel like I grew up with you haha

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you, yes we work well together!!

[@michaelhart7282]

Andy is such an amazing coach, father and grandfather!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I agree!

[@gmanandhislady]

Your kids are already showing natural gymnastics talent! Also, I can't wait for that new skill to be named after you!

[@sheb1224]

Omg the casual skin the cat on basically the first try, adorable.

[@hannienanniep]

I've been looking forward to this all day!

[@kelliroberts]

Me too!

[@nathanielhalls1893]

It’s all I look forward to every Sunday

[@JLV33161]

Literally obsessed with you, Chellsie! I was too young to follow gymnastics as I do now for 2004/2008, but I've gone back to watch all your performances and your trajectory. You're one of the GOATs, and I've honestly caught myself sending your videos and content to my friends " but have you seen Chellsie Memmel?!?!" So proud of you.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@karyon1007]

These videos just keep getting better! Love that everyone is so positive and supportive of each other, even when they're "picking on" Chellsie😆

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Its an awesome atmosphere to be in!!

[@12h08]

5 mins left and she's getting the grips....come on come on come on OMG WHAT A TEASE. 🤣

[@cats7414]

I LOVE The positive atmosphere you have!!! Everyone believes in you so much and it’s clear they support you. Go Chellsie, so proud of you!!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

It is such an awesome place to be!

[@benweikert6512]

This is literally all I care about: Chellsie’s come back!

[@broadwaybeat]

You’re building more anticipation for whether you are officially coming back or not than a host of American idol announcing the winner and I’m LIVING

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

😂😂

[@yurioliveira8299]

I can't get enough of saying how rewarding it is to see all your work and dedication !!! chellsie strength, it's getting better every week !!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@stephstarks07]

Ugh. Please announce the comeback. I’m not sure I can handle waiting another week to find out more.

[@nicolemccoy4798]

I would give anything to see Chellsie in Tokyo 2021. Her gymnastics is seriously out of this world. She deserves it so much. ♥️♥️♥️

[@kristentaylor9030]

I've been watching your videos since they popped up on my feed several weeks ago. I'm a former swimmer (and also 32) and have been thinking of going back and trying to see what I can still do (you inspired me, actually). I'm proud of you for doing this (even if you never officially come back to gymnastics)! You're amazing, and I hope you keep it up if it's something YOU want to do. Much love from Atlanta, Georgia....and can't wait for next week's video!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I am so glad to read that!!! I hope you give it a try again!

[@laurenelizabethfoley]

I love that she's not denying the comeback and almost confirming it with a smirk and a giggle everytime its said....like it's all everyone wants...seriously...EVERYONE😍😍

[@brendanlawson5113]

Picture it folks: Chellsie Memmel fulling coming out of retirement, going to classics, going to championships and showing up to Olympic trials proving to every that 2020 in fact wasn't just a wasted year for everyone... Such an inspiration to so many!

[@confusedclarinetgirl]

This journey? Your family? Inspiration, strength, perseverance, love, passion.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@leopoldo4561]

Awe Chellsie 💜💜 your children are the cutest. Seeing you with them and seeing them coach you is so precious . You should really think about taking all the episodes and making a movie out of them . Your story and journey need to be seen and known by more people. This is not just about gymnastics. You’re a daughter, a wife, a mother, an Olympic gymnast, an inspiration, but also to those little ones and myself a super hero! You deserve to be back on the spotlight. You’ve worked just as hard as the current top group of girls and deserve what comes with all that hard work. Again, you’re awesome 👏🏽 and know that you’ve got a fan over in SoCal, who’s taking advantage of this social distancing to send you good vibes and good energy your way! 🤪 Also by was my heart bearing so fast in anticipation of you putting on your grips!!! Hahah

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!

[@leopoldo4561]

Chellsie Memmel you’re the best. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ompurnam108]

It’s very refreshing to see a KZbin channel built from the ground up... you can do it Chellsie! 😇

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Is it possible that Chellsie hasn’t even reached her peak?

[@lemonk4134]

I feel so invested in your journey! Watching you and your dad is very cool!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!! He is!

[@candacebordelonph.d.8890]

Omg Chellsie you're killing us. Don't you realize that our lives are so Covidly empty right now that we NEED to see you swing some bars?!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

haha more to come this week!

[@louisevigreux7286]

OMG your children are so cute (and supporting) ! Love the little comments, that made my day ahah. Back handspring into pike arabian on beam would not only be crazy and amazing and new (I think everyone agrees on that) but also so aesthetic 😮 Anyway, lots of support from France and I can't wait for more bars next week (but no pressure ^^) 😉

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@davidhartig87]

This is the best Sunday treat every week! Yay grips on!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thanks!

[@kimmie6487]

I love how your son is like " you're doing this now." They totally believe in you!!! Aww man, I edited a spelling mistake and lost Chellsie’s hearted comment . 😩

[@daughteroftheking2273]

I lived in WI for nearly half my life. When I was 6 years old my parents enrolled me at M&M Gymnastics. I was also taking swimming lessons simultaneously. I did that for about a year. I used to watch Chellsie practice on the beam when she would have been 3 or 4. I was always amazed by her and hoped she would go on to be in the Olympics. And she did. As for me, I gave up gymnastics nearly 2 years later because swimming became my happy place and I went on to become a National champion and qualified for the '04 Olympics. I also went to the '08 Olympics but as a coach so... But I'm grateful to M&M Gymnastics because they instilled in me perseverance, determination and the need to be a team player...so thank you for that.

[@thetallmatt6288]

Chelsea I'm a coach in Houston at cypress academy, Sean Golden and I discuss your videos all the time.. everytime you say comeback I get goosebumps and might have gotten teary eyed once or twice watching this one.. you're amazing and you coming back is what our sport needs right now

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Funny, I just chatted with Sean the other day! Thank you!! I have been having so much fun in the gym.

[@gemarijke]

I can't help but have a huge smile on my face watching these videos!

[@bc538]

Whatever you decide to do regarding a comeback is neither here nor there, IMHO. You are so inspiring and kickass for doing what you love with such poise and excellence and pursuing possibility when the system of gymnastics has told adult women they can't be competitive (clearly they are wrong). I have mad respect for you

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@rdg___]

Loving this. Truly the best thing to come out of 2020 so far. I love seeing not only Chellsie, but her dad and her kids too! I screamed when you landed that Arabian on the high beam!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@castropolous8784]

The anticipation of the grips was the most entertaining in my life today! I’m so happy you got on the bars! That kip just came so easily to you. You can do it! We are all rooting for you! PS I’m from WI originally, extra rooting for you!!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@kelseyehrich5007]

Chellsie, you are such an inspiration. It’s wonderful to see you training and just doing life with your kiddos. Rooting for you! You’re kicking butt!

[@margaretcallahan116]

"Push yourself, when you get older." Yes! Never give up!

[@alyssatony3701]

i'm literally so excited for your comeback. you're gonna make history ahhhh!!!

[@leticiaeffio9216]

Just found this: and strangely enough, just discovered Chellsie. Super encouraging! Keep it coming.

[@tiffanykrystowiak3095]

I absolutely love these weekly videos! I'm cheering you on, Chellsie!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Yay! Thank you!

[@charro028]

Omg you’re toddler is such a boss!!! I love to see family closeness! This was delightful to watch!

[@TheTimo5494]

Its about time. Your story needs a better ending then what you received in 2012. If win no medals at all i would be happy to see you compete age is no longer a restriction in women gymnastics . more an more your age are still competing

[@sarahmarcus4730]

So good!!! Your handspring piked Arabian is beautiful! And I’m so happy your finally “swung” on the bars. Your kids are so cute, especially as they encourage you!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@bela516]

I don’t know why I’m so invested in your comeback! It’s making me so happy!

[@reneec638]

I look forward to these every week! You are so inspiring to everyone. Chase your dream and know we will follow were ever that leads!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@TinaReutin]

I have been cackling and giggling through this episode. I loved the editing, the jolly music, the peanut gallery, the cheering squad, the dad coach and finally ... don‘t want to spoiler. The saga goes on, yay!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

It was a fun one!

[@4unoeggs]

Brings back great memories when i got to see you train back in 2003 to 2006 while by daughter was there.

[@danceblues1713]

What you are doing is so inspiring. Blessings to you and your family 💕

[@knocturna9731]

The Produnova style double front dismount off the beam will be epic.

[@diana9506]

I have never rooted for someone so much! Wish you the best Chellsie!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@jordanjones2349]

it's been so cool to watch the progression of these videos! They are so awesome and really gives off reality tv/netflix vibes! (The gymnastics is of course the best part though!)

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@adrianops7]

Its getting better and better.. looking forward to the next episodes

[@isalmeida2006]

Much love for Stacey's work. Very enjoyable. Chellsie's journey is becoming a true series: The bigger story = the comeback (potentially the Olympics?!) New quest = named (super cool) skill Hurdles = juggling family, getting over the emotions, balancing health, bars milestones = arabian on high beam, swinging bars LOVING IT!!! Cheering for you, Chellsie.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!!!! Stacey brings much to the table for the story telling and editing!!!

[@pretzelsfan]

literally held my breath the entire video. such good content

[@99ilana]

Wow!! 👏👏👏 Loved seeing your warm up and your kids as instigators. I think I was (almost) as nervous as you before you got back on the high beam for the Arabians! Your commitment to hard work and willingness to confront your fears is inspiring to us all. Whatever comes of this is just icing on the cake, thanks for sharing your journey (though I do really like icing)

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!

[@tarajonesridingtraining9429]

I just love this! You have so much support! Especially your dad, what a great inspiration to have in your corner. So nice to see!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

It is so awesome, I am very lucky.

[@river8760]

You’re amazing! What an incredible inspiration for your kids. 😃

[@sccrboy123611]

Ohhh you know she’s dying to swing on bars!!! Lol 😂 the questions is... is the world ready for her comeback?!

[@alyssatony3701]

YES!

[@TygerKittyCo]

Chells, my gosh - YES! Your kids are adorable and I love watching you do gymnastics again; been following you since Salto times!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@brite1978]

These videos are so much fun!! Just keep having fun comeback or not x

[@swimminghuman8500]

I’m always looking forward to these, they make me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing this journey!!

[@RCola1217]

Watching this again seven months later. Man, Chellsie has done a lot more than just a kip now 😂. Lemons 🍋🍋🍋!!!

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

You said in another video that you tell your athletes to set goals-can your goal just be get a new named skill on beam??? And leave the big “O” question for later?

[@peettteerrr]

I honestly would be so happy even if she paces herself enough to make a worlds team this next quad just so she could go for the beam title and possibly get the piked Arabian named after her

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I will think about that..... sounds reasonable

[@ashleysvoboda8331]

We are rooting for you next door in Minnesota as well!

[@allisoncannatti5805]

I have been waiting for the day you put your grips on for so long, I am so glad you finally did it!! congrats on the milestone, I’ve loved watching your journey.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@ppehsena]

Great to see you! There's plenty of room for beam and bars specialists nowadays

[@coolbeanstwb09]

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

[@_JoyceArt]

I can watch those flips and Arabians on repeat. Plus, I love beam sounds, even loud ones.

[@marilyn8328]

She’s very talented and the fact she can do all this amazing movements and she’s training again that’s awesome...!!! GO Chellsie !!!

@@ChellsieMemmel23 you are the reason why I can't say 2020 is not counted in my life hahaha.

[@Gi33100]

Seeing you on the bars made my whole week! So happy for you Chellsie!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Yay! Thank you!

[@mht4908]

Hope we'll see you in Tokyo and get BHS+piked Arabian named after you, your beam work and your 2011 floor routine is one of my favorites 😃 Have you ever thought about trying the Biles on floor? (the double layout with a half turn)

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you and I have thought about it but haven't tried it

[@alizah8042]

I love how even your kids are getting in on the peer pressure!!!

[@madisonsipe6702]

yessss i used to go to m&m when i lived in west allis so it’s so cool seeing chellsie there training :)

[@dccarlos15]

I would watch her family's reality show. It would be so fun and wholesome and gymnastics!

[@bela516]

Omg! Yes!!

[@urjathakkar]

Andy gets "fired" :P for not taking a video properly. Cut to September 2020 - Andy has 13.8k followers in instagram.

[@iomoon3608]

YAAAASSS come back to get a second skill in the COP!

[@kohjhart]

I hope she completes in 2021 Olympics.I think she still has it.

[@erindonovan7820]

Ok, first I want to say that you’re absolutely amazing!! Your grit through everything is super awesome and I hope that you continue to live your best life!!! Second, you should totally do a collab with Nile Wilson!! You guys have kinda similar channels.

[@jordanelizabeth4919]

I wish u would compete again 🥺🥺

[@johnvelas70]

I'm learning an old loggers trick to keep it alive (strict 1ahspu freestanding) I knew a guy who did 40 on 1 arm then 40 on the other at almost 70 years old. This is interesting & I could watch bars for hours if I had the time.

[@karyon1007]

Rewatching in late August and loving how Andy has gone from struggling to film to full-on instagram star😂

[@pretzelsfan]

what a cliffhanger!!!

[@melaniekozak1220]

Glad to see some swings happening at least, but I’ve gotta say: that was some Olympic level stalling there, Chellsie...😆

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

hahahaha

[@mathfincoding]

Can't believe Chellsie's version of procrastinating is doing a BHS+Piked Arabian off the beam. 😂

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

hahaha

[@scootdude12]

this is my fave series

[@mathfincoding]

The last five minutes of this gave me so much life.

[@AthenaisC]

Chellsie, whether you come back for Tokyo or not, you have to be hugely proud of the shape you're in. Those abs after having two babies? I love how free your children are in the gym. They play and find it fun. That's wonderful. Stay healthy and give those 16 year olds out there reason to shake in their boots.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you, I am very proud with how far I have come...and I love how much my kids love being in the gym!
