Former professional gymnast here. Obviously, the form is one of the most important things in gymnastics.

It's difficult to see if the form is wrong from one angle. I need to circle around the athlete to see all the aspects. Sometimes I also ask if they are using a certain muscle, sometimes they have to "overflex" some muscle to put the emphasis on it, to make them feel it when they do a certain exercise. You can't see much of this stuff, movements are only a part of this. This is cool anyway, better then nothing for people who can't afford a personal coach
