All gymnasts are required to register with British gymnastics. The price of this differs per class. Please enquire is you are unsure of the correct selection on registering. British Gymnastics membership is renewed annually. It is the responsibility of the adult of the gymnast to renew membership. Gymtopia cannot allow attendance to classes without membership.

Gymtopia club membership is renewed in October annually. Membership must be paid to allow entry to classes.

Gymtopia has created their own bespoke award scheme. These are awarded in our recreational, preschool and SEN/ ALN classes.

Awards come with medals and certificates.

All gymnasts are constantly monitored in our recreational classes for opportunities to progress into our competitive groups.

Not all gymnasts will progress down a competitive pathway. However our aim is to allow every gymnast the opportunity for individual development and progression.

The recreational classes are ran in age groups. Where possible we aim to group gymnasts by agility within the classes to allow for development.

Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely in. Hoodies, oodies and onesies may be worn for the warm up but must be removed for the session.

All long hair must be secured back. Jewelry must be removed. Coaches are unable to provide tape to remove earrings. Watches must also be removed.

We allow crop tops and shorts, leotards as well as t-shirts and leggings or tight fitting jogging bottoms.

We do not allow denim shorts, cardigans, skirts and dresses, low cut tops or flare trousers. Any loose fitting t-shirts which may rise up must be secured down or other items of clothing worn underneath.

Leotards with attached skirts are also not permitted.

We have merchandise that can be purchased at the club as well as a range of leotards on sale should your child wish to wear them. In the upstairs viewing area we also have a selection of second hand training wear.

All gymnasts should arrive prior to the start of the class to allow registration for the class.

Gymnasts whom arrive after 10 past the hour of the session will not be allowed entry. This is due to the disruption caused to the class. As well as the safety of the gymnast due to missing the pulse raiser.

To enroll your child, please email: gymtopianegymnasticsreception@yahoo.com.

You will then be added to our waiting list or if a space is available you will be offered a space.
