In this video, Chelsea (our AI virtual assistant) will tell you more about the company.

Chelsea Gymnastics Academy was founded by Dr Stefan Kolimechkov in 2022 as the successor of his sole trade gymnastics coaching business called STK SPORT (which operated in London for a period of 10 years between 2013 and 2022). Chelsea Gymnastics Academy brings gymnastics to the community in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.

Chelsea Gymnastics Academy Ltd - Gymnastics in Kensington and Chelsea, London W8

We are listed on the Companies House register, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) register, and we are registered with HMRC.

We provide bespoke personal gymnastics sessions and group general gymnastics classes. We are a club member of British Gymnastics (The National Governing Body for gymnastics in the UK), a club member of London Gymnastics, and a CIMSPA employer partner (CIMSPA is the professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector).

We were a REPs partner (originally, REPs was the Register of Exercise Professionals in the UK), but we (and many Personal Trainers in the UK) were scammed by them in a deplorable subscription scam in September 2023. Be aware of this brand, now called REPs International and you can also find them as REPs UK. The real REPs UK merged with CIMSPA a few years ago, so this newly formed REPs is not a recognised in the UK, or by any means trusted here and abroad!
