There is no maximum age limit. However, children must be aged 2 and up. Please note that, at the coach’s discretion, we may suggest that a child join a different group.

Yes. We welcome children of any ability and age (2+) and offer classes for beginners. However, please note that our coaches may recommend your child join a different age group in some cases. Don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to advise you.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer an inside viewing area for our classes. While we understand the parents’ wish to be present, in our experience this can be distracting for the children. Our first commitment is to the safety and security of all the gymnasts. This requires their undivided focus.

The exception is our Preschool group or parent inclusive SEN classes, where parents participate actively in the class.

That said, our current facility has a full wall of windows that parents can see their child through easily, However the policies of the hall we hire do not allow parents to remain onsite for the whole session during weekdays before 5.30pm. If you would like to view your child class for the full session via the windows please select a weekend class or a class after 5.30pm on weekdays.

If there are such circumstances you feel your child would benefit from you staying within the building during a settling in period, an arrangement just need to be agreed in advance so that we can stay inline with the venues policies.

If a child shows signs of distress upon joining us for their class the parent is able to stay and help them settle if the parent feels this is best for them.

Yes, all our coaches are DBS checked. Our first commitment is to the children’s safety and security.

Our coaches are also registered members of British Gymnastics and certified to lead gymnastics classes. Additionally, they have the appropriate safeguarding and first aid training required to work with children, which is updated every three years.

No, classes are paid for in advance and non-refundable.

In the instance that a class is cancelled by us — due to one coach’s unavailability (a minimum of two coaches is required), venue issues or any other reasonable cause — we will do our best to offer a replacement class.

Yes, children are welcome to come and try acrobatic gymnastics first. Please contact us to arrange a taster session

Membership of British Gymnastics is mandatory for all gymnasts in registered clubs. Importantly, it includes insurance (in case of injury during a class, for example) for your child through BG. The separate membership fee (£19*) is paid directly to British Gymnastics.

The membership fee paid to NOX GYM (£25) covers club administration for your child. Both memberships – our club and British Gymnastics – are renewed annually.

Please note that the British Gymnastics membership fee is set by them and is different for different gymnasts. It is currently £19/year for recreational gymnasts; £13/year for preschool gymnasts, and £43/year for gymnasts who compete in official competitions. Find out more on the BG website

Yes, we have Squads who prepare for competition. However, these are by selection only, as gymnasts will need to have some experience, show potential and a strong passion.

If your child is interested in training for competition and has some experience, contact us or talk to our coaches after class. We are always happy to welcome passionate gymnasts!

Ideally, children should wear a leotard for gymnastics classes and we ask them to have their own if they join the club. We’re happy to advise you and you can also buy gymnastics clothing through us. We usually have a small stock at the club at any given time and can order them in.

For a taster session, we understand that parents may be reluctant to purchase a leotard before knowing if their child will enjoy gymnastics. It is fine to wear shorts and a t-shirt. These should fit tightly but comfortably, yet not be baggy so as not to fall over the child’s head when leaning down and to keep their modesty covered at all times.

With regards to hair, please make sure it is tied away from the gymnast’s face and that there are no unnecessary accessories in it.

Our gymnasts’ and coaches’ health is our primary concern. We are hoping to hold classes in real life again soon, but will only do so once we feel it is safe to do so. We will keep you updated about developments here – and be in touch via email as soon as we have a date.

Our online classes are very safe. They do not involve any dangerous acrobatics or movements that could lead to injury. Instead, they are playful ways to maintain the body strength, agility and flexibility your child has acquired in previous classes (or is building up), so that they can pick up where they left off once we return to the gym.

Yes, one-to-one classes are possible and may be arranged. They are a great way for kids to advance as they allow us to focus on specific skills needed for what they are trying to achieve.

If the gymnasts are in a partnership, private lessons for the team can also be organised.
