Welcome to Keele University Gymnastics, a growing community where everyone is welcome, whether you’re a seasoned gymnast or an enthusiastic beginner looking to try something new! 

What we have to offer:

We’ll be hosting weekly gymnastics classes at Dimensions Leisure Centre, led by our qualified Level 2 coach. These sessions include a fun group warm-up, followed by focused floor activities and the chance to work on the vault, bars, and beam for the girls; and the vault, parallel bars, high bar, rings and pommel horse for the guys! 

New for this year, we have a few options for memberships:

• £140 including all classes for the year (save 13%)
• £75 including all classes for 1 semester
• Annual £70 membership + £3.50 per class
• £10 social membership

If you are buying tickets each week, they will come on a first-serve basis via the SU website. If transport is an issue, don’t worry—let us know, and we’ll help organise car shares.

Additionally, we’ll hold weekly strength and conditioning sessions, on Keele Campus, which are free with membership and a great way to build foundational skills.

We will be competing in UGC Competitions again this year, which is a great chance to meet and compete against gymnasts from other UK Unis! There are beginner, intermediate and advanced (advanced+ and FIG) categories so something for everyone! Also, there will be opportunity to compete at BUCS for those who want to.

So, if competing is something that interests you, there will be a trial held to assess your gymnastic ability, and see which level will be best for you - members we believe are able and safe to compete will be selected! Our competition team will also have occasional training sessions on a Wednesday at Dimensions Leisure Centre, plus other possible training opportunities (to be confirmed) to help prep for upcoming comps. To compete you will be also be required to pay an extra £20 per competition to cover admission fees and the extra training sessions. Additional information about competitions will be provided. 

Beyond training, we’ll be hosting socials (£10 for a social membership) run by our lovely social secretary Ruby, to create and build friendships and have fun!!!

For your first two weeks you can join our taster sessions absolutely free! And afterward, purchasing our £140 membership will give you full access to everything we offer for the whole year :)

Remember, wear comfy, movement-friendly clothes, bring plenty of water, and come ready to have fun and work up a sweat.
