From Saturday 1 June 2024 the prices for Glasgow Life Sport’s gymnastics programme will be changing. For full details click here. 

Gymnastics is an exciting and challenging sport. It develops balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, and agility. We have classes to suit all ages and abilities.

Gymnastics Programme

There are coach-led sessions open to everyone from pre-school children to adults. These take place at Kelvin Hall and the Palace of Art at Bellahouston, both home to state-of-the-art equipment.

We have a pathway of class levels from beginners to advanced. For any budding stars of the future, we also have close links with the City of Glasgow Gymnastics Club.

Here’s what you can expect...

PlayGym is a fun introduction to gymnastics for children and their grown-up. This 45-minute free play session offers people the chance to explore state-of-the-art equipment. These classes are for pre-school children from crawling to 5 years old.

Spaces are limited and cost £2.50 per participant. Please remember to book a space for yourself and your child.

We encourage you to book in advance via the Glasgow Club app. You can also phone Kelvin Hall or Palace of Art receptions. Please try to make payments cashless as we are trying to avoid queues at reception.

Our pre-school programme encourages parents/guardians and kids to have fun together on our equipment. This will help develop fundamental skills which are the basis of many sports.

These sessions offer general gymnastics classes to children across the city. They start at Gym Skills 1 and go up to advanced gymnastics sessions.

Our adult gymnastics class is on a Thursday night from 7:00-8:45pm at Kelvin Hall.

It is a coach-led class which offers structure and a syllabus to follow for both beginners and improvers.

For your first booking, you will be required to complete a Gymnastics Agreement form in venue. This will be a one-off form and is only required to be completed once.

You can talk to our coaches about anything would like to learn that sits outside the syllabus. All abilities are welcome and there are no conditions for entry.

The class is pay-as-you-go and is £11.00 per session (£8.00 concession). You can pay for this on the night.

To secure your place you can pre-book 7 days in advance by contacting Kelvin Hall on 0141 276 1450. All pay-as-you-go spaces are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our general gymnastic programme has 5 stages. These are Gym Skills 1, Gym Skills 2, Gym Skills 3, Gym Skills 4 and advanced gymnastics.

  • Gym Skills 1 is a 45-minute class for children aged over the age of 5 years
  • Gym Skills 2 through to Gym Skills 3 is a 45-minute class for children who have before attended our lower levels (invite only)
  • Gym Skills 4 and Advanced Gymnastics is a 1 hour and 45-minute class for children who have before attended our lower levels (invite only)
