Have you not done gymnastics since you were 10 but reckon you could still throw a cartwheel? Want to learn how to do a backflip as a party trick? (not reccommended) Claim to not be flexible but think it would be fun to jump around on trampolines once a week?

Whether you've never tried a forward roll, haven't touched a beam in years or are an elite gymnast, we are the society for you. Welcome to Uni of Leeds Gymnastics.

Who can join?

At Uni of Leeds Gymnastics, we firmly believe that gymnastics is an inclusive sport, open to individuals of all skill levels and backgrounds. This past year alone we have had members from Acro, Aerobics, Teamgym, Tumbling, Calisthenics, Parkour and Dance who have all enjoyed being able to train what they are used to as well as trying something new. Together, we create an atmosphere of encouragement and achievement which has seen us nominated for Club of the Year for three years running. For the 2024/5 season we also won the ‘Team Cheerleader’ award at UGC, a symbol of our support, enthusiasm and love we have for each other!

Training

We train three a week at a nearby facility with top-notch equipment, including beams, bars, vault, rings, trampolines, and more. Our relaxed sessions offer the option to work on the coached stations for extra guidance or explore the rest of the gym to focus on your desired skills.

Tuesday: 8.15 - 9.45pm (Meet outside Parkinson’s Steps at 7.35pm)

Wednesday: 2.00 - 3.30pm (Meet outside Parkinson's Steps at 1.20pm)
