Coventry Gymnastics

Coventry Gymnastics, operating under Coventry City Council, offers an exceptional after-school experience in the vibrant city of Coventry. This professional club provides a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for participants of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to national and international champions. Members can explore a wide range of disciplines including General Gymnastics, Trampolining, Tumbling, Freestyle/Parkour, and Double Mini-Trampolining, fostering both physical skill and creative expression.

The club’s primary facility, located at Woodlands Academy, stands as Coventry's first dedicated professional gymnastics centre, originally built as a reserve training gym for the London 2012 Olympic Games. This world-class venue boasts specialised foam pits, multiple sets of bars, vaults, rings, beams, a 25-metre tumble track, professional trampolines, and a specialised Fast Track, one of only three in the world. Beyond its impressive equipment, Coventry Gymnastics prides itself on a highly qualified coaching team, ensuring expert guidance for every participant. A prime example is the exceptional instruction from two-time World Champion Stefka Barakova, who also leads specialist sessions like private hand-balancing.

The club’s distinct session style is meticulously designed to help children achieve their best, master challenging skills more quickly, and accelerate skill development safely, building strength, agility, and coordination. A dedicated Welfare Officer is on hand to support participants' social and emotional wellbeing, contributing to a caring, secure, and confidence-building experience for all. With over 30 hours of training available weekly, Coventry Gymnastics offers extensive opportunities for development. Flexible attendance options, including convenient pay-as-you-go sessions available on both Saturdays and Sundays, cater to busy family schedules.

Elite gymnasts also benefit from the opportunity to train at the prestigious National Sports Centre in Lilleshall, a world-renowned facility used by official British Gymnastics National Training Squads. This comprehensive approach ensures a clear skill development pathway, enabling every gymnast to progress efficiently and realise their full potential.
