Frequently Asked Questions

What to wear and bring?

Suitable clothing like shorts, t-shirts, leggings, jogging bottoms, leotards or unitards. Long hair needs to be tied back, away from the face and remove all jewellery. So you can stay hydrated, remember to bring a water bottle to the class (which can be refilled for free using our water fountains)

Do you need to be flexible?

Flexibility is one of the fundamentals of gymnastics, allowing your body to move in different ways. Flexibility is something that can be worked on and improved by attending the lessons and working and practicing on it. Our sessions will build and develop your core skills and build up your range of motion. 

Can parents/guardians spectate?

The Sports Hall has seating around the perimeter which will allow you to stay and spectate in comfort. There are changing rooms and toilets just outside the Sports Hall should you need them, as well as a well-stocked cafe for drinks and snacks
