Classes per week
We run a variety of classes and levels over several days and venues, so you can hopefully find a class for your child that fits in with you.
Our Classes
We offer classes in General Gymnastics (boys and girls) and Women’s Artistic gymnastics!
Our classes follow a number of pathways, and we have a variety of classes suited for all types of levels, ages and aims! So if your child is a beginner or would be ready to do competitions, we have classes so suit every child.
Each class is well structured, an involves warm ups, stretches and activities on all four pieces of equipment (beam, tumble, bars and vault).
Every week has a different theme, so gymnastics is never boring! We aim to combine learning with fun so each child can get the most out of their sessions.
