We operate a large recreational gymnastics programme from walking to 15 years, across 10 of our leisure centres. Classes use specialist apparatus and follow a programme of badge work and local competitions. We work in close partnership with British Gymnastics to ensure the highest standards within our programme.

These classes are split into two different types; Gym-Minis (Adult & Child), and Gymikins (Independent), and are available at Armley, Holt Park, Kippax, Kirkstall, John Smeaton, Middleton, Morley, Rothwell and Scott Hall leisure centres. Classes involve a combination of exploratory play and structured activities to develop both gross and fine motor skills, as well as social interaction and communication.
