The club has been running for 0ver 20 years within Torbay at various locations. We are presently situated at Aspen Way, Yalberton Industrial Estate, Paignton in a large unit and are working hard to secure this as our long term home.

In the 20 years we have been running we have had gymnasts at National, Regional and County Level.

We offer classes for Babies, Toddlers, Pre School gymnasts, gymnasts with disabilities, recreational of all ages and abilities and women’s and men’s artistic gymnastics. We are now able to offer Trampoline sessions.
(A full list of classes can be found on the Classes page).

Our gymnasts are led byboth boy’s and girl’s  Club Captains these are selected annually based on achievements, commitment to the club and by being outstanding role models.

All our coaches are qualified to the appropriate level all gaining British Gymnasts Coaching awards. All coaches hold current advanced CRB disclosures, First Aid qualifications and have all received Child Protection training. We are British Gymnastics Gym Mark registered club and hold Sport England Club Mark.

Gymnastics is primarily about co-ordinating body movement. It also involves body and self awareness, basic motor skills, self discipline, listening skills, working as part of a team, managing energy levels, confidence building, colour recognition, number recognition and so the list goes on! As a grounding for all other sports and activities gymnastics is recognised as being one of the best, so even if your child does not pursue gymnastics to a high level the sport can only serve to enhance any other activities for the future. Many of our ex-gymnasts go on to success at many other sports: Louise Butterworth, one of our past County Selections, has gone on to be ranked 3rd in England at Pole Vault and is the Under-23 champion.

The aim of the club is to provide gymnastics to children and adults in a safe environment. All the coaching staff are qualified British Gymnastics coaches and have been screened to ensure their suitability to work with children and vulnerable people. Gymnastics is a sport where children may require physical support and shaping by their coach when learning new skills and moves.

The club has both male and female coaches who will work with the children in the sessions.
