Gymnastics
Springfit Gymnastics classes are suitable for children aged 4½+ from complete beginners level to advanced.
For class days and times please see our Class Schedule page.
Please note that we are able to cater for any ability and age. The class levels are a guide only.
Gymnastics is a great way to keep fit, and learn about how the body can move. From the relaxed style of parkour to the discipline of vault, there are so many varieties of gymnastics that everyone can take something from the sport.
At Springfit, we use elements from rhythmic gymnastics, aerobics, acrobatics, tumbling and the Olympic disciplines to create a varied class experience.
Getting to know your body, pushing its limits and challenging yourself is encouraged through all levels of classes, and regularly evaluated.
Most importantly, we think gymnastics should be fun. There is so much enjoyment to be gained from jumping over things, springing up, rolling around, twisting away and generally tumbling about in a safe environment, that we pack as much fun into classes as we can.
Our coaches will work with individuals to attain nationally recognized awards and build their skills base to as high level as possible, but only if it can be done while having fun!
We run regular gymnastics competitions against other Saturn V clubs in the local area for those who are keen to compete. See our Club Calendar page for details on our next event.
We are keen to promote gymnastics to boys, and have a dedicated boys class to help them develop skills specific to their needs. We use elements of free-running and Parkour in these classes.
