Recreational Gym 

We have been running gymnastics classes here at Jenkins Gym since 1990.

Our classes are based on Kiwi Gym Fun which originated in Australia and came to New Zealand in 1988 and is practiced in Primary School and Recreation centres throughout New Zealand.
Kiwi Gym Fun has levels 1 –6. There are 12 different tasks to do, but only 6 need to be successfully completed for your child to pass.

Kiwi Gym Fun is an activity programme aimed at introducing children to gymnastics in an enjoyable and safe way. It is designed for all girls and boys. Many additional activities form a major part of the teaching programme. These simple practice activities broaden this physical development programme.

Promoting confidence, balance, co-ordination and FUN! Jenkins Gym run organised structured classes, which we have found over many years of experience to be the best benefit for the child. Children have one-on-one  tuition at each apparatus, so are therefore learning more each time.

Learning gymnastics skills in a safe way give children confidence, co-ordination and the opportunity to explore their own potential.

Bookings are taken before the beginning of each school term.  The programme runs for nine weeks during each term. Please contact Penny, on 939 4402.

Classes for each weekday can be viewed on the Gymnastic Timetable page.

DEVELOPMENT SQUAD – GYMNASTICS (open to most ages)

Jess is currently working on a development squad for Gymnastics. With possible outcomes being Jess & Gavin taking a team to Fiji in 12 months time to do a display but see if we can get some girls ready to compete one day.

For the kids that attend this squad:

• They will be trained by two fantastic qualified coaches (both retired gymnasts)
• They will learn harder tricks than what they might learn in the likes of recreational gymnastics
• They will find gymnastics a lot more enjoyable learning new skills and aspects
• They will become a lot more confident with Gymnastics
• They will build strength, stamina and flexibility in a 90 minute class
• Their skills will be developed over a four-week period, they will have homework to achieve, this will be written down and marked off by the parents and then by their coaches

We would like to hear from people in the club who have their kids in our Recreations Classes but think their kids might interested in the Development Squad or if you feel it’s time to up the ante or register or interest get in touch with Jess – 939 449 or after hours 021 944 969 - This is open to parents who have older kids who are too old for recreational gymnastics. This would be a fantastic step towards Competitive Gymnastics. Which I Jess – am qualified to coach competitive.
