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 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.

All recreational classes are mixed gender.

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.

Please note it is the adults responsibility to ensure the gymnast arrives appropriately dressed for the session. Any gymnast who does not arrive appropriately dressed will not be permitted into the session.

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.

Gymnasts must register at reception on arrival to receive a token. Tokens must be handed to the person at the entrance of the gym. As a result, gymnasts must arrive with enough time to collect a token.

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.

Gymtopia currently has 2 viewing areas, one upstairs and one downstairs for spectators to view the sessions. We ask that during sessions, gymnasts are not coached, distracted or communicated with through the windows.

Photography and viewing of sessions is not allowed.

On occasion, our upstairs viewing area may be closed. In accordance with British Gymnastics guidelines, the downstairs viewing area will still remain open.

The club is closed on public holidays.

Classes run throughout the year and during school holidays.

The club is closed for its annual shut down for one week. This is usually the first week of September or the last week of August. This will be noted to members at the beginning of the year.

The club also closes for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year. Club closures are emailed to club members in advance of the closure.

Unfortunately, no. Fees are payable for the full month in advance and credit/refunds are not given for missed lessons.

No, classes are non-transferable.

All classes are subject to a class limit.

Gymtopia Gymnastics aims to be fully inclusive. Where we believe Gymnasts with a disability can manage in our mainstream recreational classes we would encourage them to do so.

If a gymnast requires more assistance than we feel we are able to offer them this will be discussed to achieve the best possible outcome for the gymnast.
