Home Gymnastics Sessions For Children

This is Nasko (one of our gymnasts) at the age of 6.

 

General & Artistic Gymnastics At Home - From Beginners to ADVANCED

CHELSEA GYMNASTICS ACADEMY provides gymnastics lessons for your child/children in the comfort of your own home in Kensington and Chelsea, London. Your children will learn many gymnastics skills (jumps, balances, rolls, cartwheels, handstands, walkovers, etc.) and create positive attitudes towards physical activity while developing their strength, flexibility and coordination. You will need just a little bit of space at your home, and a yoga/gym mat to start.

If you do not have enough space at your home, you can book personal gymnastics lessons at The Kensington Studio in Kensington & Chelsea, and at The Revival Studio in Hammersmith.

If your child has never done gymnastics or he/she is at a beginners to intermediate level, this is a wonderful opportunity to book a gymnastics session, and learn the fundamentals of gymnastics, just like our gymnast (Nasko on the photo above at the age of 6) did.

If you look online for gymnastics classes, you can probably find some for children as young as 2 years of age, but in most cases is better to wait until your child is at least 5 before starting any gymnastics programmes. Unlike joining a gymnastics club or an after school club, booking a personal gymnastics lesson for your child in the comfort of your home is much more mobile option because you can have the session when and where it suits you best. Moreover, your child will learn the right technique by seeing a proper demonstration by coach Stefan (3-times London Gymnastics Champion on Rings). We can assure you that taking the time to learn proper gymnastics technique can improve results and prevent annoying injuries.

If your child has already been doing gymnastics, then why don't you supplement their classes with a weekly personal gymnastics lesson? In fact, combining group sessions with personal gymnastics lessons would probably be the most efficient option. So, if your children are between 5 and 11, and you would like them to do gymnastics, you can book a lesson and start that magic journey of learning the fundamentals of gymnastics.

 

Gymnastics Lessons for Primary School Children in London

This is our gymnast (Alexander) on Handstand at the age of 8.

CHELSEA GYMNASTICS ACADEMY offers a specialised, home-based, newly-developed gymnastics course for primary school children based on coach Stefan's extensive experience and practice in scientific research. It is called STK SPORT Gymnastics Awards Scheme, and it is designed to progressively develop health-related physical fitness components, such as strength, balance, flexibility and body composition. The programme consists of 10 levels (starting from level 1 and finishing at level 10) and there are 10 gymnastics exercises in each level. After passing each level, your child will receive a certificate as a reward to boost their motivation.

As a Level 3 qualified gymnastics coach in the UK, and probably the only gymnastics coach in London with extensive scientific work in the field of gymnastics, coach Stefan is in the position to provide your children with the best opportunities for learning gymnastics skills and tricks in the comfort of your home.

 

Gymnastics Skills

Although, we follow the STK SPORT Gymnastics Award Scheme as we believe that this programme offers the best training to improve health-related physical fitness, our personal training programmes can also be tailored and modified towards the individual needs of each child, and we can provide you with greater information about the importance of physical activity, proper technique, recommended nutritional guidelines, as well as fun and safe homeworks to practise until the next session.
