Thank you so much for booking a trial or taster class with Gymfinity Kids Community Cubs! We very much look forward to welcoming you into the gymnastics community club and we wish to detail some helpful information to prepare you for your first time.

If you are heading to the following locations for your trial or taster class, please read on. You can click on the club location below to find out the address and more information specific to the club i.e. opening hours and drop off/pick up information.

We wish you and your child the best experience when you visit, so please see below for helpful tips on what to expect.

Welcome to Gymfinity Kids!

Arrival

Please arrive 10 minutes before your session starts so you can familiarise yourself with the location – follow the signs to the gymnastics room.

Please ensure your child has used the bathroom before the session begins. 

At our Community Clubs, parents can stay to watch their child undergo the taster session. Once signed up, parents cannot stay to watch the usual weekly classes, apart from our Ellesmere Port location where there is a large viewing balcony which can be used if parents wish to stay and watch.

In all our other Community Club locations, parents are welcome to wait in the car park. 

However, if you are participating in the parent and toddler class, then you must stay during the class.

What should my child wear for their session?

We encourage all members to wear Gymfinity Kids Uniform which is available to purchase at reception. The correct clothing for training is shorts and t-shirt, leggings and a t-shirt or leotard. Please do not wear anything that is loose fitting. We do not allow any footwear on the gym floor

Please note:

  • Long hair needs to be tied back
  • No jewellery is permitted – if ears have recently been pierced they must be covered up with tape or plasters
  • No food is permitted during our sessions, but please remember to bring along a drink for your child
  • Children are encouraged to visit the bathroom before they start their session

Frequently Asked Questions

We have listed some of the top FAQ’s below but please do explore our other FAQs if you have any additional queries.

Can my child attend more than one taster session?

We allow one taster session per child.

My child has no gymnastics experience, can they become a member?

Yes, our Community Clubs are designed to introduce children to gymnastics.

Can I stay and view my child’s class?

Parents are welcome to watch their child’s first class, then during our regular weekly classes, parents drop off and pick up (with the exception of parents in the preschool classes).

No parents should be staying throughout the class to watch. If a child is nervous and wishes to have the support of their parent, the parent may be allowed to stay for half of the class or until the child is settled. However, they will need to discuss this with management/the coaches beforehand.

How do I become a member?

Do the children follow an awards scheme?

The gymnasts follow a progressive curriculum and work towards an award scheme. The award scheme has been developed by leading educational and gymnastics specialists.

We look forward to welcoming you into our community club and hope your child has a fantastic time at their taster session!
