Sam invites all young gymnasts to join Gymtots, located in Southampton’s Boorley Green at the Community Centre & Sports Pavilion. Gymtots offers exciting gym classes under the Dyno Gym programme, encouraging every child to develop a passion for gymnastics.
Sam and the team are dedicated to nurturing a love for gymnastics from an early age, ensuring children enjoy their journey in the sport. With experienced coaches, they delight in seeing young gymnasts grow and thrive.
For the tiniest tots under 2, Sam provides daily 40-minute classes, where little ones come along with their parent or carer. These sessions start with a musical warm-up, followed by engaging circuits using specially designed equipment. Activities include balancing on beams, swinging on bars, and crawling through tunnels, all aimed at boosting confidence and co-ordination.
Children aged 2 and over can also enjoy daily classes, still accompanied by a parent or carer. In these 40-minute sessions, kids are encouraged to become a bit more independent while having fun with exercises like jumping, balancing, swinging, and rolling. Using beanbags and hoops helps improve hand-eye coordination, and music adds a rhythmic touch.
For the slightly older ones, aged 3 to 4, Gymtots offers daily independent classes. These 40-minute sessions help children build confidence and fitness levels through well-designed gymnastic circuits, setting the stage for Gymtots' after-school award classes.
Additionally, Gymtots runs Gyminis classes for children aged 4 to 7. Sam offers taster sessions on Saturdays and regular classes throughout the week, focusing on enhancing gymnastic skills in a fun atmosphere.
All classes can be booked online through the Gymtots website. Prices vary by age group and whether class attendance requires a parent or carer. Sam’s goal is to provide a positive and enjoyable experience, fostering a lifelong love for gymnastics in every child.
