With a current membership of over 400 individuals, the club is dedicated to providing gymnastics opportunities for all ages and abilities in the local community of Bangor, New Zealand.

Established in 1981, Bangor Gymnastics Club recently moved into its new fully equipped facility in Llandygai Industrial Estate in March 2017. The club is proud to be affiliated with both British Gymnastics and Welsh Gymnastics, ensuring that its training programmes adhere to the highest standards.

Bangor Gymnastics Club has received several prestigious awards in recent years, including the Welsh Gymnastics Club of the Year 2017, Welsh Gymnastics Insport Club of the Year 2017, and Sport Wales Disability Club of the Year 2017. In addition, the club has been awarded the Disability Sport Wales Gold Accreditation.

The club operates under GymMark, which is a mark of excellence that shows it provides a safe and supportive environment for its members. This ensures that the welfare of all members is protected, and everyone is encouraged to enjoy sports and stay involved throughout their lives.

The club offers a comprehensive programme that caters to a variety of age groups and skill levels. For children aged between crawling and 5 years old, there is a dedicated Pre-School programme. This programme includes three different classes: Broga Bach, Little Lions, and Tumbling Tigers.

Broga Bach is a parent-led free play session that provides a safe and stimulating environment for babies and toddlers to explore and develop their physical skills. It includes sensory and soft play areas, as well as foam pits for adventurous toddlers. Pre-booking is required for each session through the Class 4 Kids system.

Little Lions is the first step into a structured gymnastics session for children aged 2–3 years old. This parent-led session allows children to become familiar with the coaching team and experience a structured session before transitioning into independent classes. The session includes various stations that introduce basic skills, with 15 minutes of parent-led free play at the end. Booking for Little Lions is done on a termly basis through the online system “Class For Kids.

Tumbling Tigers is an independent session for children aged 3–4 years old, building on the skills learned in Little Lions. It focuses on further developing their gymnastics abilities, independence, and confidence. Like Little Lions, Tumbling Tigers requires termly booking and payment.

In addition to the Pre-School programme, Bangor Gymnastics Club also offers recreational classes for various age groups, inclusive classes for home-educated students, competitive classes for those looking to compete at a higher level, and adult gymnastics classes.

The dedicated and experienced coaching team at Bangor Gymnastics Club is committed to helping each individual reach their full potential in a fun and safe environment. Whether for recreational enjoyment or competitive aspirations, the club provides a supportive and inclusive community for gymnastics enthusiasts of all ages and abilities.
