Foundations Gymnastics

Fun for all ages and abilities

Foundations classes are designed for children who want to properly learn gymnastics skills in a supportive but structured environment.

Using all major gymnastics apparatus, gymnasts build strength, coordination, flexibility, technique, body awareness, and skill development through clear progressions that help children continue improving week by week.

Many children join Foundations completely new to gymnastics, while others come from programs where they’ve felt ready for more challenge, more structure, or clearer pathways for progression.

Our coaches focus heavily on breaking skills down into achievable steps so children can build confidence through real progress over time, whether they’re learning a cartwheel, developing stronger fundamentals, or working towards more advanced gymnastics skills.

For some children, Foundations becomes the beginning of competitive pathways. For others, it simply becomes the class they never want to miss each week because they can genuinely see themselves improving.

With Foundations from 6 years to teenagers, there's a class for everyone.

Kindy ( 45 mins)

Our Kindy class is a great next step for children who are ready to continue building on what they’ve learned in our Kindergym program, or for those starting gymnastics for the first time.

Over 45 minutes, children explore all of the gym’s equipment, including floor, bars, beam, and vault, in a safe and supportive environment. Classes focus on developing skills, shapes, and body awareness, helping children understand how their bodies move and how to control different movements.

Our coaches guide children through fun activities that encourage confidence, coordination, and independence. They will tailor the drills to suit what your child is ready for, giving each child the chance to try new skills, practice what they already know, and gain a stronger sense of how their body works in space. Most importantly, Kindy is about having fun, challenging themselves, and enjoying every moment in the gym.

Launch (Beginner & Intermediate / Advanced)

Launch is designed for athletes who are ready to take their floor skills to the next level through advanced movement, aerial development, and technical progression.

Focused entirely on floor-based movement, Launch helps students build strength, coordination, control, and confidence while developing advanced skills such as aerials, advanced walkovers, dynamic combinations, and connected sequences. These classes are ideal for students interested in pathways including dance, circus, acrobatics, and current or future competitive gymnastics.

Every class is built around safe and structured progressions, helping athletes understand not only how to perform skills, but how to develop the strength, technique, and body awareness behind them. Our coaches place a strong emphasis on quality movement and correct technique, ensuring students progress with confidence and control while reducing the risk of poor habits and injury.

As students advance through the program, they develop increasingly powerful and complex movement skills while building resilience, focus, and confidence in their own abilities.

Launch classes are offered in Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced levels, with all students requiring an assessment prior to enrolment to ensure appropriate class placement. Students should already feel confident performing strong handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, limbers, and handsprings before entering the program.

All Abilities ( 45 mins)

Our All Abilities classes are designed for children who benefit from additional support in a smaller, more structured class environment. With parent or carer involvement throughout the session, children can explore movement in a safe, inclusive, and encouraging space where they are supported to participate at their own pace.

Across 45 minutes, children are introduced to a variety of gymnastics equipment including floor, bars, beam, and vault while developing coordination, balance, strength, body awareness, and fundamental movement skills.

Classes are designed to support both physical and personal development, helping children build confidence, resilience, social connection, and independence through positive movement experiences.

Our coaches tailor activities to each child’s individual needs and abilities, creating opportunities for success while supporting safe progression and skill development. The smaller class format allows for more personalised guidance, helping children feel comfortable, engaged, and celebrated for every achievement. Big or small.

Aligned with our Special Olympics pathway, All Abilities welcomes children with diverse learning needs, including autism and developmental differences, and focuses on creating a positive environment where children can move, play, connect, and enjoy being active.
