RISE Gymnastics at Wyndley Leisure Centre
Gymnastics is one of the best ways for children to get active, have fun, and build a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Our Gymnastics programme is built around the nationally recognised RISE Gymnastics framework from British Gymnastics. This means your child will move through structured, fun stages of gymnastics, from early movement through to more advanced skills at a pace that suites them. RISE Gymnastics programme takes gymnasts on a fun and progressive journey from their first steps into the gym, all the way through to advanced skills to get them ready for a competitive pathway.
Discover
The Discover stage is perfect for our tiniest gymnasts, aged 0-4, and is split into two playful sessions: Gymfants for 0-3 year olds (with parent or carer involvement) and Explore Transition for 3-4 year olds.
These sessions are all about fun, imagination, and introducing little ones to movement through play. Children develop coordination, balance, and confidence while trying new skills at their own pace in a safe and inclusive environment. They'll also get a gentle introduction to basic equipment, including beams, bars, and vaults, all in a way that's engaging and enjoyable.
Discover is the perfect first step for your child, helping them gain key skills and confidence before moving on to the Explore phase, or joining an after-school gymnastics club.

We also offer Gym Bounce lessons which is a mix between gymnastics and trampolining with both activities fundamental for children’s sporting development.
Explore
The Explore stage is designed for 4-11 year olds who are ready to take the next step in their gymnastics journey. These sessions focus on developing fundamental skills across beams, bars, vaults and the floor, helping children build confidence while having a blast.
Gymnasts will expand on the foundations learned in Discover, trying new skills, experimenting with different apparatus, and discovering what their bodies can do. Every session is full of fun challenges that improve strength, flexibility and technique, all while encouraging a genuine love for the sport.
Excel
The Excel stage is perfect for children aged 11 and over who are ready to push their gymnastics skills further and take on exciting new challenges. This phase is all about mastering advanced techniques, tackling dynamic routines and exploring a variety of apparatus from small equipment to larger more complex setups.
Gymnasts are encouraged to set their own goals, embrace challenges and develop confidence, resilient and creativity in a supportive and motivating environment. Sessions mix individual skill-building with partner and group activities, allowing every child to progress at their own pace while having fun and discovering what they're capable of.
