General Gym

Got a Child Who’s Always Upside Down?

If your little one is constantly cartwheeling through the living room or bouncing off the furniture, it might be time to introduce them to gymnastics!

In our classes, they’ll:

  • Build balance, strength, and coordination
  • Be challenged in fun, exciting ways
  • Make new friends and discover a sport they’ll love for life

Once they catch the gymnastics bug, it sticks! Expect handstands at the park, cartwheels at the beach, and flips at the trampoline centre.

“The fun never stops…”

What Is General Gymnastics?

This is where it all begins.

Once your child starts school, they can join our General Gymnastics (also know as general gym) classes, which follow the British Gymnastics Rise Gymnastic tracking and award system. As they progress, they’ll work towards harder skills, all of which can be tracked by you through a portal login, as they start learning new skills, they start growing in confidence.

What comes next?

As they develop, they may:

  • Be invited to join competitive teams
  • Join advanced classes
  • Take part in exciting events at  club level and across the UK—and beyond!

A Brilliant Beginning

Our gymnasts improve:

  • Gross and fine motor skills
  • Brain-to-muscle connection
  • Overall coordination and fitness

Movement releases happy endorphins, which boost mood, stimulate brain activity, and support good mental health.
