Some of the most frequently asked questions from Farnborough residents

How many children are there per class?

Our classes vary between 1-15 in our parent and child classes to 1-6 for our preschool independent and mini ninja classes.

What qualifications do the coaches have?

All of our coaches go through the Gymfinity Kids internal training programme to gain coaching qualifications that are recognised by IGA. They all attend monthly training and quarterly audits to ensure standards are met. Some of our coaches also have their own external qualifications when they arrive with us.

How is safety ensured during classes?

Safety is a big priority at Gymfinity Kids. We have specific equipment for our youngest members which allows them to have lots of fun through our sessions whilst remaining safe. Our experienced coaches are all trained, are DBS checked and we always have a member of staff trained in first aid on site along with staff that have received safeguarding training. This is overseen for the company by our Head of Health and Safety.

Is there a specific curriculum followed?

For our youngest Preschool members (walking – 2years) the lessons are all about learning through play. We help to develop them physically and emotionally and this is all taken at their own pace. When they move into our next class (2 – 3 years old) they will start to work towards our in-house award scheme that has been designed to focus on the following:

Balance and weight baring
Action
Co-ordination and locomotor skills

Read more about our in-house award scheme here.

What is the age range for the classes?

Our Preschool classes in Farnborough cater for those of walking age through to 4 years old. Our youngest class is for those of walking age to 2 years and the parent must be always with them on the gym floor.

Our next Preschool class up is suitable for those aged 2 – 3 years old and again, parents must be on the gym floor with their child). Our oldest Preschool class is for those aged 3 years to 4 years. In these classes, parents do not need to be on the gym floor with their child, but they must remain in club throughout the club in case your child needs assistance with going to the toilet.

Once your child is 4 years old, they can then graduate to our beginner recreational gymnastics and ninja classes!

What sort of exercises will the children learn?

The children will learn cartwheels, balancing, bunny hops, half handstands, roly-poly’s, jumping, star jumps, bouncing and much more! Our classes are designed to introduce them to the gym floor and get them active in the most fun and engaging way possible. Our coaches demonstrate each exercise and circuit before assisting the children through the exercises.

What kind of equipment is used in the classes?

They will get to use a variety of equipment across the gym floor. From the beams and bar to trampolines, the AirTrack and ninja obstacle course. They will also use bean bags, foam blocks and hula hoops to help develop their motor skills. A coach will assist them with the equipment and show them how to safely use each piece of apparatus.

Can parents observe the classes?

Yes, if the child is 3 years old or older, parents can observe the class from our viewing area. If the child is younger than 3 years old, parents must be on the gym floor to assist their child during the session.

What is the cost of classes?

The costs of classes depend on the time and age group of the class. Farnborough Preschool class prices start from £7.49 – please head to Farnborough’s timetable to view the class costs.

What is the process for enrolling my child?

All you need to do is navigate to the Farnborough timetable and select the class you wish to book your child into and follow the simple steps to enrol your child.

What should my child wear to class?

We recommend your child wears shorts and a t-shirt, leggings and a t-shirt or a leotard. Please don’t wear loose-fitting clothing.  If you decide to become a member, there is a great selection of Gymfinity activewear available to purchase at reception. Please note: 

Please tie back long hair.
Please don’t wear jewellery – if ears have recently been pierced, they must be covered up with tape or plasters .
Please remember to bring along a water bottle labelled with your child’s name. No food is allowed on the activity floor.
We have toilets at the club and would encourage children to go before the class starts, if possible.
To keep our club in great condition, we ask that no footwear is worn on the gym floor.

Are there any performance or competition opportunities for children?

From the age of 3 years, we begin the children in our in-house Award Scheme. This is designed to help structure their learning and development according to skills learnt. As they work their way through the skills, they will go up in levels. We celebrate the children’s achievements in our Award Weeks which are held across the clubs every few months. Children are given certificates to celebrate the skills and levels they’ve achieved. Find out more about the Preschool Award Scheme here.

For children aged below 3 years, we focus on making the sessions purely focused on getting them familiar with the equipment and exercises, without a focus on moving up levels.

Once the children are old enough to leave preschool and start Big School, we host a lovely graduation ceremony in the summer to commemorate the special occasion! The children are then able to book into our beginner gymnastics or ninja classes and continue their Gymfinity Kids journey at our club in Farnborough.

If your child has not yet received the remaining level for the Preschool Award Scheme, we will automatically pass them when they moved up to their new class and issue them with any outstanding certificates from the 5 levels.

If I cannot make it to the lesson, can it be cancelled or rescheduled?

Unfortunately, we cannot reschedule any lessons that cannot be attended.

How do I get to the gym and is there parking available?

Our Farnborough club is located in The Meads Shopping Centre and is surrounded by shops, cafes and supermarkets if any snacks are needed (there is no on-site café in the club). The Farnborough club has a multi-storey car park available nearby for parking. To find out more click here: https://www.themeadsfarnborough.com/opening-hours/ and click ‘car park’.

What happens if my child needs to take time off, can we pause our membership?

If you cannot make a series of lessons due to injury, holidays etc, you can freeze your membership for a small fee. This will keep your child’s place in class. You can freeze for a minimum of a month or a maximum of 2 months (in every 12 months). Should you wish to return to your class before your freeze has ended, you can cancel your freeze and pay a pro-rata fee.

There is no contract so you can cancel your membership at any time. However, if you cancel then wish to return, the joining fee will apply.
