About Us

Doing a back bend at Rowan Gymnastics

We're Rowan Gymnastics Club

We are an extremely friendly, British Gymnastics registered Club, first established in 1999 and currently have over 750 full members.

We offer classes for gymnasts of all abilities, from walking through to adults. Our classes are open to all and we have an excellent range of quality, specialised gymnastics equipment. Our dedicated team of coaches are qualified to various levels, through recognised British Gymnastics coaching qualifications.

Rowan Gymnastics Club is run as a ‘not for profit’ organisation, meaning all of our profits are reinvested back into the club for the benefit of our members and the community.
