Aerobic gymnastics is a competitive sport originating from traditional aerobics in which complex, high-intensity movement patterns and elements of varying difficulty are performed to music. In addition to aerobics, it combines elements of acrobatic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and oftentimes artistic gymnastics along with music, dance and choreography.

Performing Aerobic Gymnastics

• The performance area is 7 metres (23 ft) square for juniors or 10 metres (33 ft) square for adults and for aero dance. Performers fit into divisions: junior divisions, made up of primary and secondary teams; novice divisions, including individual men and women; intermediate divisions made up of individual men and women, mixed pairs and trios; and elite divisions including individual men and women, mixed pairs and trios. A three-person team may be made of any combination of men and women in a trio. Step teams and general divisions also exist.

• In International competition there are 7 different events: Individual Women, Individual Men, Mixed Pairs, Trios, Group (five athletes), Step and Dance (both eight athletes). The last four are regardless of the Genders of the athletes.

• The performances are made up of the following elements: dynamic strength, static strength, jumps and leaps (power), kicks (dynamic strength), balance and flexibility. The routine must be performed entirely to music. Additionally, a maximum of ten elements from following families are allowed: push-ups, supports and balances/holds, kicks and splits, jumps and leaps. Some movements in other gymnastic sports (sport acrobatics, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, etc.) are now allowed, such as handsprings, handstands, acrobatic flips, and aerial somersaults this is the FIG (International) program.

Are your coaches qualified?

Are coaches have a minimum of level 1 standard coach training with British Gymnastics. We have two Level 5 coaches (high performance). Within the club we also have some older gymnasts who are trained helpers working the younger groups.

YES, anyone can start at anytime, as long as we have spaces in the class we ask you just pay for the first 2 sessions at reception, then switch you to a payment plan normally by Bank Transfer

Can parents watch?

We have special ‘open curtains’ events where the team can show off the gymnasts skills to the parents, carers and family, these will be listed on the club Facebook and newsletter, the normal training is closed to parents for safety.

What is your ratio of children to coaches?

The amount of coaches will depend on the age groups, number of children and level of class. We try to encourage the older gymnasts to help out with the new and younger ones where appropriate.

What do we do if a child is not happy?

We have a set guideline for issues of any sort see the information page for the details of our welfare officers and club manager
