The World Cup Gymnastics will be held in Melbourne from February 22 to 25.

Greeting Emma, 21, in the gym ahead of their workout, he said: ‘I want to see if I’ve got what it takes.’

Wearing a black Nike singlet and shorts, Emma said ‘let’s see what we can do’ as he struggled with the splits and buckled over holding a handstand.

However, he was chuffed when he successfully landed on his feet after completing a standing backflip.

Matty J added: ‘The beam impresses me, but I want something for me.

Emma then took Matty J over to the foam pit to attempt a back tuck fall manoeuvre.

Explaining where he should position his arms for the flip, she said: ‘So basically, don’t think about it too much.’  

Matty J joked: ‘Emma, I’m not an idiot! I did gymnastics for for four years.’

She praised the fit marketing manager, by saying ‘nailed it’, while offering him a team T-shirt for the rest of the session. 

The rest of the video shows Matty J watching Emma during her professional training session and attempting to mimic her moves without much success.

'Unfortunately I won’t be making a gymnastics comeback': Despite his confidence at the beginning of the clips, Matty J insisted he would not be returning to the sport

Despite his confidence at the beginning of the clips, Matty J captioned his Instagram upload: ‘Unfortunately I won’t be making a gymnastics comeback.’

He also personally thanked Emma: ‘Thanks to one of Australia’s best gymnasts, @ejnedov_gymnast, for putting up with me for the day!’

Emma appeared more-than-happy to have trained with the star, posting on her own personal Instagram page: ‘Had a blast mucking around and making some Melbourne World Cup promo videos with the bachelor. He managed to keep up really well.’

'He managed to keep up really well': The pair appeared to have a fun time filming the clip to promote the upcoming Gymnastics Cup in Melbourne, with the elite athlete praising Matty J's attempts

Matty J previously showed off some impressive gymnastics moves while enjoying a romantic getaway with girlfriend Laura Byrne last year.

Opting to go shirtless in the Bali climate, he drew attention to his bulging biceps and six-pack abs as he worked up a sweat in the outdoor gym.

The marketing executive placed his hands on yoga blocks and used his core strength to lift his legs off the ground. 

Propelling into a walking handstand display, he then performed a battle rope exercise before completing the workout with a back flip. 

It was Matty J and Laura’s first overseas getaway since The Bachelor finale, with the couple recently travelling to South Africa this month.
