Our vision
We believe every child should discover the joy of movement in a non-competitive environment. That’s why we make sure a child’s first experience of sport is FUN! We achieve this with playful exercises rooted in a methodology that gives kids a positive emotional experience.
(show more)Regular exercise with other kids is so important for a child’s physical and mental wellbeing. When children put away their phones and get lost in movement, they enjoy the ‘here and now’ and forget the outside world.
No child should be put under the stress of having to perform. When kids are put under needless pressure, they form bad habits and associate sport with being the best. This is the exact opposite of what we want to achieve.
Instead, we give kids the opportunity and TIME to discover their own talents. The thrill of suddenly realising, “Hey, I’m good at this and I like it, too!” is what our programmes are all about.
Thousands of kids have completed our courses with this sense that they’ve achieved something, which makes everything we do worthwhile.

A percentile rank for each test highlighting the child's strengths and weaknesses
An individual assessment showing how every child fared compared to his/her peers

“I must say Gymnathlon has exceeded my expectations. My kids really enjoy each session. Nobody’s standing on the sidelines and everyone exercises together. But what I especially like is how passionate the coaches are. They're there to make sure everyone has as much fun as possible.”
