Rather than celebrate one gymnast, for December we thought we would celebrate all of our gymnasts who were presented with awards at the Christmas shows. Gymnasts from multiple classes are chosen, not just for their hard work in December, but for the hard work they have put in throughout the year. It is not an […]

It is almost time to look back on 2018 and what a fab year it has been, but first let’s start with December. The displays back in January seemed so far away, but crept upon us all too quickly. It is a very fun and festive time in the gym, but also a very busy […]

The gymnast chosen for November trains twice a week, in the general gymnastics class. She rarely misses a session and she’s always looking to improve. This gymnast was disappointed not to place at club champs back in the summer, however she used that setback as a motivation to improve. In the last few months she […]

Last weekend a team of Spelthorne’s Acrobats travelled to Southampton to compete in the Mike Walker Invitational. A competition held annually, which we regularly attend and this year was no different, over 40 eager gymnasts were ready to compete their routines. The competition was split over two days, with so many gymnasts and categories it […]

Octobers’ gymnast of the month is no trick but a treat! She is a relatively new member to Spelthorne Gymnastics Club and has also only been tumbling around 18 months, but already has impressed her coaches with her technique and tumbling ability.

Last week 25 gymnasts from our Junior Elite Squad kicked off the Acro competition season. They flew to Budapest with their coaches Leighanne and Callum and assistant Tara, to compete in the 2nd Budapest International Acro Cup. For some of the gymnasts it was their first competition, so to fly all the way to Budapest […]

Last weekend eight of Spelthorne’s newest recruits travelled to Birmingham to represent RGA in the British Tumbling Championships. These gymnasts who are coached by Kath and Rob are among Britain’s top talent, training and competing for many years at RGA, and now training with us at Spelthorne. They have had huge success in Tumbling with […]

September and the first full month of training after the summer break. We had many new starters this September and many gymnasts who have progressed to new classes since the summer term. So this month we wanted to focus on a gymnast who has recently made that transition to a new class. A gymnast who […]

I know we said we wouldn’t, but we couldn’t resist. ..Gymnast of the month was supposed to be taking a summer break and returning in the new term, but seeing as the gym was still open and summer camps were running we thought we would honour all of our dedicated gymnasts and continue too. Gymnast […]
