We have gymnastics classes for all ages and abilities.
Our children's courses follow a structured pathway - progressing through proficiency levels and attaining badges and certificates along the way.
We also have courses for pre-school children to help them develop social and motor skills, and our classes for adults are great for anyone wanting to exercise and keep in shape.

Gymnastics
Our children's courses for aged 5 to 13 years old, following our own in-house gymnastics award scheme which has been designed by our coaching team especially for those on our courses. Children will learn skills on the floor, beam, vault and other apparatus. Our fully-qualified British Gymnastics coaches will guide your child through each stage, completing the development of core skills. Our beginners to advance gymnastic classes work towards Rainbow awards and will receive these upon completion of each stage.

Gymnastics academy
Promising young gymnasts may be invited to join our gymnastics academy and enter British Gymnastics competitions. They will be encouraged to take part in both team and individual competition events throughout the East Midlands. The academy does require full commitment from the child and support from parents as inclusion will require travelling to competitions at weekends.
Gymnastics academy sessions are held on Tuesday from 6pm, and on Saturday at 9am.
Pre-school tumbling classes
Our pre-school classes help your child to develop social and motor skills ready for joining our gymnastics course for school-age children.
Tiny Tumblers
Age: Babies crawling up to the age of three
When: Mondays and Thursdays 11.30am, Saturdays 11am
Tiny Tumblers is a parent participation session that encourages social and motor skills, co-ordination, strength, flexibility and physical skills such as movement, balance and control. Using some gymnastics to help physical development, this class prepares toddlers to move into Little Tumblers where they take part independently.
Coaches are present to guide the session and ensure the safety of the session while children are supervised by a parent or carer.
These sessions can be booked either in 12 week blocks, paid for via monthly Direct Debit or attended on a pay as you go basis.
Little Tumblers

When: Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays at various times
Little Tumblers gymnastics is an active way to learn.

The session may include parent participation, and our coaches are present to ensure safety of the session.
Adult gymnastics
Adult classes take place on Wednesday evenings and can be be paid for week to week - no commitment is needed but please book ahead to secure your place. Our trained coach will be available throughout both sessions for tips and advice.
Adult Gymnastics: Wednesday 7pm
Adult gymnastics is open to all abilities for those aged over 14 years old, whether you have done this before and want to improve your skills or if you are looking for a new and alternative exercise to try for the first time.
