If only the gymnasts at Westerns/Easterns this weekend knew…
Shift isn’t just another brand.
it’s a movement to rethink gear,
share stories, and build what we actually need.
It’s by gymnasts. It’s for gymnasts.
And it’s just getting started.
We’re building it… together.

Ava Stewart has made over 300 tape grips this year. Gymnasts are the most creative problem solvers in sports. We’ve been fixing our own pain points for years balloons, rubber bands, tape grips.
But what if we didn’t have to fix it alone?
@trainwithshift is here to build with you.
We’re taking your feedback, your stories, and your daily struggles and turning them into solutions.
This isn’t just another gymnastics brand It’s a gymnastics community pushing the boundaries.
Starting with hand protection... Tape Grips in Bulk but we’re just getting started.
⚡ Built by gymnasts. For gymnasts. @stewsha_gymnast , 2x Olympian… gets it.
You do too. Let’s build what we actually need. Together.

We’ve been busy!
• Presented SHIFT to real athletes and coaches (pinch us, it’s getting real 👀)
• Sent out our first prototypes + received new material samples
• Tons of hands-on testing with gymnasts … every rip, tear, and tweak is helping us improve!
• Launched our website (huge milestone 🖐️✨)
• Caught some beautiful bar work at the NCAA National Championships … feeling inspired and fired up!
We’re just getting started … thanks for being part of the journey. 💬🤸♀️ #shiftyourlimits
A little secret between us: Ava Stewart is why we exist! The need is there!!!! Did you know Olympian & Minnesota Gymnast Ava Stewart makes up to 6 tape grips a week? That’s 312 a year and nearly 10 hours spent crafting the tape grips.
Imagine a ready-to-wear, single-use tape grip designed to save you time and energy… so you can focus on what really matters: your performance. No more hours spent crafting tape grips every week—just grab, grip, and go.
But why does bar tape even matter this much? 👇
Because the right protection can mean the difference between making it through the week or sitting out. And while traditional tape gets the job done, it’s messy, wasteful, and doesn’t last.
Shift Tape Grips were built with recovery, routine, and real performance in mind. They’re easy to use, comfy under grips, and durable enough for gymnasts of every level… without the constant ripping and re-taping.
We designed Shift to save you time, energy, and your hands!
What’s Shift?
Disposable, single-use tape grips that feel like your favorite athletic tape…but smarter, quicker to apply, and just better.
Engineered cotton blend. Flexible where you move, strong where you need.
With medical-grade adhesive tabs, these grips aren’t going anywhere.
And when you’re done? Just toss ‘em!#Shiftyourlimits
From the world stage to the daily grind.
Two-time Canadian Olympian Ava Stewart trusts Shift Tape Grips because greatness is built in the reps you don’t see.
After hand-making over 300 grips this year, it was time to shift to something quicker. Smarter. Better.

POV: Former gymnast turned Designer 🤸♀️
I’ve lived the rips, the chalk, and the rolled up tape grip. Now, I’m designing one that’s simple, easy, and effective because gymnasts deserve products that work as hard as they do. Now, back to the lab… #ShiftYourLimits #FromGymnastToDesigner #TapeGripRevolution
