Stuck between fifteen different skills and not sure what to drill next? That's exactly what the Gymnastics Move Wheel is for. Coaches, gymnasts, and even cheer athletes use it as a quick random gymnastics trick generator when a session needs a bit of unpredictability - or when you just can't decide between a clean cartwheel and a tricky back tuck. Spin it, and it decides for you. No more standing around arguing about what's next on the list. Here's what's loaded on the wheel right now:
Cartwheel
Handstand
Back Handspring
Front Walkover
Splits
Roundoff
Back Tuck
Front Tuck
Aerial
Bridge
Pike Jump
Straddle Jump
Somersault
Valdez
Back Walkover
Tweaking Your Gymnastics Move Choice Generator
We kept the mechanics simple on purpose - tap spin and the animation runs smooth, no lag, no weird stutter. Want it to feel less generic and more like your own gym's whiteboard? Open the editor, add or pull out moves, drag out a slice if you're not cleared for aerials yet. This isn't just any wheel spinner - rename slices, recolor them, reorder the whole thing until it actually matches what your training plan looks like this week. It works like a solid custom wheel or wheel generator should, just built with tumbling in mind. Everything you set up sticks around in your browser, so you're not rebuilding your list every time you open the page.
Show Off Your Gymnastics Move Wheel Victory!
Did it land you the move you were secretly hoping for? Or did you get stuck with straddle jumps for the fifth time in a row? Either way, it's worth filming the reaction. A lot of teams run this as a light spin the wheel game between drills, or post the clip after class just to see who groans loudest. It's a decent way to break up a repetitive practice and get people actually excited about the next rep.
Tips From the Mat
Warm up the joints before anything explosive. Wrists, ankles, and your spine need to be ready before you touch a back tuck, aerial, or back handspring - cold joints and high-impact landings don't mix.
Never drill backward-rotating skills without a spotter. Back tuck, back handspring, and back walkover are the three most likely to need one until the pattern is fully in your muscle memory.
Progress by prerequisite, not by excitement. Don't let the wheel land on an aerial if your roundoff and back handspring aren't consistent yet - build the entry skills first, the flashy stuff comes after.
Treat flexibility moves as their own workout. Splits and bridge need dedicated stretching before and after, not just a quick warm-up lap - rushing them is how you strain something.
Weight the wheel toward what you're actually working on. If you're grinding back handspring connections this week, bump its weight up in the editor so it lands more often than moves you've already got down.
Save separate presets for each training phase. Keep a beginner list and an advanced list so you're not spinning aerial for someone who's still working on cartwheels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Just tap spin. The wheel picks randomly from your list of moves, so you get a fair, unbiased result every time instead of standing around debating what to drill next.
Yes. Spin it several times in a row to build a mini circuit, or weight the moves you need more reps on so they show up more often.
The wheel only picks the move - it doesn't replace coaching. Always use a spotter for backward-rotating skills and only attempt tricks you've already been cleared for in the gym.
You can add dozens of moves through the editor, whether you're building a basic warm-up list or a full advanced tumbling pass rotation.
Plenty do. It's an easy way to add some variety to station drills or open gym without having to think up the order yourself.
Yes, whatever you set up is saved locally in your browser, so your list is still there the next time you open the page.
Completely free, with no limit on how many times you spin.
