Last Sunday, UCLA’s Yates Gym shared some electrifying clips on Instagram showing Jordan Chiles in a session with Normani, culminating in the singer flawlessly executing a front flip. The UCLA Gymnastics team couldn’t stop cheering! Fun fact: Normani was a gymnast herself eight years ago, and this playful reunion with Chiles and his team reignited her passion for gymnastics.
True to form, she jumped right back in. The Players’ Tribune and Billboard treated fans to a sneak peek, sharing videos on Instagram and YouTube of Normani performing her routine in full gymnastics attire, proving she hasn’t lost her flips or her flair. In the montage, Chiles admitted she was a bit nervous, joking, “We’re not breaking Normani today.” But Normani reassured her, “Gymnastics was actually the first thing that I did. Well, that and dance. I started gym when I was like four.” With that, she executed a cartwheel with effortless precision.

Now came the next challenge: performing the same cartwheel on the beam. Scary? Absolutely. Dangerous? Without a doubt. Yet, with just a hint of hesitation, she executed it flawlessly—her balance and grace catching everyone off guard. Jordan Chiles couldn’t hide her astonishment, her mouth dropping open as she exclaimed, “Oh my gosh. I’mma cry.” Then came the moment that could make anyone’s heart stop, the aerial on the beam. Fear gripped her, but with steely determination, she soared through it flawlessly, but with a bit of fear off course.
Might we remind you that these girls have made it customary to visit the UCLA’s Yates every month now. Just last month, on October 5th, UCLA Yates’ Instagram page lit up with a reel captioned #celebritySunday. It was a celebratory moment indeed as both girls flexed their routines on the mat, Normani, nearly flawless that too.

Jordan Chiles and Normani’s gymnastics exercise turns the heads of the fans
Who knew that a simple meetup at UCLA’s Yates Gym just four weeks ago would reignite Normani’s passion for gymnastics? Yet, that’s exactly what happened, as she and Jordan Chiles spent hours together on the beam, pushing each other to shine. One fan captured the excitement perfectly, “Normani killing it and Jordan is the best hype woman.” Another Beyoncé fan chimed in with, “That Beyonce leo eats.”
Last year, ahead of the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles teamed up with singer SZA in a promotional video for NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Games. In it, SZA revealed her past as a gymnast and showcased her handstand skills, impressing Biles with her balance and flexibility. A year later, it’s now Chiles bringing the same energy with Normani, as both gymnasts lit up the streets of Hollywood. One fan summed it up beautifully, “The way Simone and Jordan have brought the gymnast back out of SZA and now Normani — just lovely! 😍😍😍 yassss queens!”
Fans didn’t hold back their love, showering both with applause and emojis, “This was so cute!! We love @jordanchiles and @normani.” There were no judges this time, but the audience made their verdict clear,“We give you both 10s.”
