Gymnastics

Come and see why we won Bronze in the University Gymnastics Cup 2019/20!

Want to be the next Nile Wilson/Simone Biles? Don’t even know who they are? We are the society for you! Our members’ skill levels range from struggling to do a roly poly to being able to do mad tumbles across the floor, so you can trust that there is a place for you here. We work with some fantastic coaches and our committee will always be there if you’re not sure what you want to learn next, too.

The gym we train at has an impressive array of first-class equipment including beams, vault, floor, bars, rings, a mushroom, trampolines and more. It’s a really relaxed vibe at our training sessions, so while we encourage members to come as much as possible, you can attend as often or as infrequently as you like.

DO NOT BUY TRAINING TICKETS YET. THE ONES UP RIGHT NOW ARE INVALID.

Who can join?

We welcome members of all abilities, from complete beginners to elite. Whether you are practising for a competition, or just want to master a new skill, our coaches will be happy to help you.

No new skill is impossible to learn, so while the experienced gymnasts can train hard, there is also the opportunity for beginners to learn some cool new skills.

Virtual Freshers Fair: 11:45am-12pm, online

Freshers Fair: 1pm-3pm, LUU Foyer

Competitions

We love taking a team to competitions, and we pride ourselves on always being the loudest, most supportive team there!

We take part in the University Gymnastics Cup, BUCS Championships and Varsity.

Competitions are great fun and a fantastic way to get to know your team members better, enjoy the sport in a different environment and to show off new skills. Don’t worry, we don’t take ourselves too seriously at competitions and it’s all a bit of fun. There are opportunities for members of all levels to compete, from beginner to elite.

Taking part in competitions is greatly encouraged and is one of our favourite parts of the society, but is completely optional.

Training

We train twice a week at Gymmagic.

Alternating Tuesdays and Fridays: 2pm – 4pm

Sundays: 4pm – 6pm

We meet half an hour before training starts outside of the Parkinson Building, and transport to the gym is provided.

You can attend as often or as infrequently as you like.

Our first sessions will be Friday 2nd October, then Sunday 4th.

Socials

Socialising is a huge part of our society, and we meet up every Wednesday evening for a social (if Covid-19 lets us!). As with training, we’d love to see you there, but it’s totally up to you how often you come. It’s a great way to get to know other members.

We also go on tour for a week in the Easter break every year along with tons of other sports teams – again, totally optional but great fun. We’re one big group of mates, united by our love for gymnastics!

Fees

Society membership for the year is £35.

There is also a session fee of £5 per session to cover transport costs, payable online through the union website. Before purchasing a ticket, please click like on the post in the Facebook group that will go up the day before training. Once 30 people have liked the post, we will have reached capacity and you won’t be able to attend training (even if tickets are still available).

Freshers

If you have any questions, please get in touch through any of our social media channels or by email.

Come and meet Maddie, our President, at the Freshers Fair on 23rd Sep between 1-3pm. If you’re unable to attend in person, the committee will also be running a virtual Freshers Fair stall on Google Meet from 11:15am-12pm. Furthermore, our DMs are always open so if there’s anything you’re unsure about, just send us a message and one of our committee members will get back to you.

If you want to try out gymnastics before you commit, we welcome you to attend up to two sessions before you purchase membership (the £5 session fee will still apply).
