Does my child need gymnastics experience?
Not at all. Gympy welcomes children who are completely new to gymnastics, as well as children who already have experience
How do I get started?
The best place to start is with a free trial. Your child can experience a Gympy class and our coaches can help you find the right place to start.

You don’t need to figure that out yourself. We’ll consider your child’s age and experience and advise you on the most suitable class.
