Not a problem! KinderGym teaches foundational skills and physical literacy, preparing your child to enjoy a lifetime of whichever sport they choose!

Our gym Bubs and Tots classes (crawling to 4 years) are parent or carer assisted, meaning you will be on the gym floor with your child for the full duration of the class. For our Gym kids (4 years to pre-prep), you can view your child in the parents’ viewing area. Changeover between classes can be extremely busy for coaches, but we will do our best to speak with you and answer any questions you may have.
It depends! Gym Tots (2.5-4years) is a parent or carer assisted class. Gym Kids (4-5 years/Pre Prep) is unassisted.
Absolutely! All Y centres offer make up classes, but please understand that our ability to offer these will depend on whether there are available spaces in an alternate classes.
Of course! We recommend contacting your local centre to discuss your child’s needs.
