About us

Who we are...

We are a beginner-friendly, no-pressure gymnastics club, catering to all levels and abilities.

Our easy going, fun and recreational lessons focus on accessible gymnastics, enabling children of all ages to start their gymnastics journey by developing confidence and key skills. Through promoting challenge and independent attainment through in-house competitions and a proficiency badge scheme, our priority is engagement and a community ethos where all students are encouraged to take part in events and shows. Leisure, being active and a healthy lifestyle are at the heart of everything we do and students are encouraged to develop a holistic approach to gymnastics, learning skills and life lessons beyond simple exercise and technique.

What we do…

Each session involves a warm-up and healthy stretching to tone and promote flexibility before students are encouraged to try a range of gymnastic skills including work on the bar, beam, floor and vault.

Qualified, experienced staff build children’s confidence through positive feedback in an inclusive environment, while the British Gymnastics Proficiency Badge scheme offers a tangible recognition of achievement, showing progress and encouraging pride in personal success. Our internal Gymnast of the Term award also recognises effort, as well as achievement, and our social media channels help us to share students’ achievements and progress with parents; you and your family can see how well your child is doing and share in the joy and celebration at home.

Our community...

To date, the Coombe Dean Aspire Gymnastics Club has hosted and taken part in a range of charity events, such as our rolla-thon and Christmas shows. All students are encouraged to get involved in these events, regardless of experience, as we believe everyone has something to contribute to the team - no matter how long they’ve been a member!

We’re always looking for more opportunities to perform and help support our community, be they fun days, barbeques, carnivals and other activities. If you know or are part of a group that may like to work with us in the future, please get in touch or speak to any member of staff at one of our events or classes. Look out for details of workshops taking place over Summer 2021: our gym camps for members and visitors offer opportunities to try out new skills and test the water before committing to classes, while themed workshops focus on different skills and equipment to develop core skills. (Please note - safety-related terms and conditions apply.)

Why gymnastics?

Unlike many sports, gymnastics offers a whole-body workout - great for young, developing bodies - building strength, conditioning, endurance, cardio-vascular health, balance, coordination, stamina, and flexibility. Aside from physical skills, gymnastics also helps to enhance cognitive skills, social development, confidence and teamwork. If you’re looking for the perfect all-round activity that your child will love to attend as well as benefit from, Coombe Dean Aspire gymnastics training ticks all the boxes!
