GYM BUBS (WALKING - 2.5 YEARS OLD)
Gym Bubs is a fun introduction to toddler Gymnastics, suitable for children who are walking until 2.5years. The class focuses on sensory awareness and play, introducing small challenges through group activities and routines.
Gym Bubs begin to learn to take turns, play with others, and start to understand direction and begin the process of following instructions. Our learning bubs begin to explore running, jumping, climbing, balancing, swinging, and rhythmic movement patterns through music and hand actions.
This class is parent/caregiver assisted and is part of our structured programme.
GYM TOTS (2.5 YEARS OLD TO 4 YEARS OLD)
This KinderGym class designed for 2.5 years old to 4 years old refines movements and further develops gross motor movement. Cognitive and social development comes into perspective.
Children overcome hurdles, build confidence and work towards independence. Kids can then focus on key movements, improving core strength and working with their centre of gravity.
Gym Tots learn to take turns, play with others, understand direction and start to follow instructions.
Our budding gymnasts balance, swing, continue to develop upper body strength, and practice jumping.
This is a parent/caregiver assisted class.
GYM KIDS (4 YEARS OLD TO PRE-PREP)
Gym Kids is for children from 4 years old to pre-prep who are looking for more challenges.
Being a little older, our Gym Kids classes enjoy more independent exploration and discovery time with their coaches. This program refines movement, core strength and focuses on both lower and upper both strength.
Listening and social skills develop as children interact with others within a group. Children learn to move their bodies in all directions with forward and backwards rolls, and develop both sides of the body through balancing exercises.
We help children to gain independence in preparation for school. Parents become less involved as children come under the instruction of our expert coaches.
Gym Kids balance, swing, skip, climb, hang and refine single leg and arm movements.
