From an article in the Hollywood Reporter several years ago.
The Olympic gymnasts have an extensive training schedule. Simone Biles, 19, a three-time world champion who automatically earned a spot on the Olympic dream team as the first-ranked gymnast, shared a little bit of what training is like. Biles trains 32 hours a week in her gym in her home state of Texas.

My daughter was training level 8 following the end of 7th grade and trained an average of 25 hours per week. She retired before entering 8th grade. The time commitment for gym, exclusive of a home school program, does not allow enough time to perform at a high level in both gym and school.
Home school kids train approximately 30 hours per week on average, and spend about 12-15 hours per week in class. Typically longer training hours during meet season.
