Advanced Gym

Gymnasts must have completed badge one of the British Gymnastics Awards

Advanced Gym

Our Advanced Gym classes are for gymnasts who have reached a good standard of gymnastics and would like the challenge of learning more complex skills.

Advanced classes run for two hours and all gymnasts must have completed badge one of the British Gymnastics Awards.

​During the two-hour session gymnasts will learn and develop more body management and improved strength and conditioning, which will allow them to be successful in acquiring more difficult gymnastics skills and elements.

​Gymnasts will also have the opportunity to work towards Bronze, Silver and Gold British Gymnastics Awards on floor, vault and apparatus.

If competitions are something that motivates you to work hard, then gymnasts will also be able to work towards our competition squad. As part of the competition squad, you will enter floor and vault competitions within the region competing against other gymnastics clubs.
