All the coaching staff have supported Sam and helped him to develop to the high level he has reached. You have a very dedicated and welcoming team, who focus on the individual making sessions fun and challenging. Many thanks for your help with classes over the past 2 1/2 years, you have been very accommodating.

Parent of Sam Buckle – 5 *****

I absolutely loved the classes, I was saying to the instructors when I went how welcoming they made us feel and catered exactly to our levels and abilities with regressions and progressions to all the moves. I had some pretty bad experiences at another adult gymnastics session where they are not interested if you are not amazing at back flips or cannot do a full round off handspring!! I went to the Springfit class and had a brilliant time. Nailed my handstands and even did a somersault last night!!

I was only talking about the classes to another parent this morning. We were saying how professional the classes were – very fun and well run. All of the staff are friendly and enthusiastic and Erin loves going to her class

Parent of Erin Luxford – 5 *****

Jazmine has thoroughly enjoyed her time with Sharley and the team at the Jubilee Centre and I have great thanks for all they have taught her and the fun times she had with them and the rest of the class.

Parent of Jazmine Hollington-Ritson – 5 *****

Both my girls absolutely love the lessons and get so much out of it, the best physical activity class we ever signed them on!! Its managed and run very well and all we have is positive experiences.

Parent of Rebecca and Isabelle Ogston – 5 *****

Scarlett has grown in confidence since starting Georgie’s class. I never thought I’d see the day she would want to enter competitions. Georgie is a fabulous coach, she handles everyone’s individual needs perfectly. I’m thrilled my daughter loves Springfit, her class and the coaching team so much. read more

Parent of Scarlett – 5*****

Harry is a talented footballer but I really believe a lot of his general fitness, flexibility and stamina has come from his gymnastics at Springfit and the class has helped him excel in other sports.

Parent of Harry English – 5 *****

I think it is a very professional and well run club, with enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors. Emily has learnt stacks from Springfit

Parent of Emily Marti-Cornish – 5 *****

My daughter has loved every minute at Springfit Gymnastics, the coaches are amazing and she has had so much fun. She really has loved it and learnt lots too. It’s a great club.

Parent of Scarlett, 5*****

The highlight of my youngest daughter’s half term was joining in her sister’s Funfit class! Hannah and Monty absolutely LOVE funfit and are big fans of Ella and Georgie too, who are just fabulous! They are both brilliant coaches and super with the children. Hannah has learnt so much already and is very proud of her badges

Parent of Emily & Hannah Creasey – 5 *****

My daughter has been attending Springfit classes for over two years and started when she was just 2 years old. She was such an active toddler, I thought if she was going to roll around and jump I’d like her to learn how to do so correctly! The staff at the club are very good with the young ones and help each child to achieve their own best. She absolutely loved the Funfit classes with half the class trampolining and the other half working on gymnastic skills and I think this made a noticeable difference to her physical development. Her balance, strength and co-ordination was much improved and her independence and listening got better too. After working steadily through the Grades she chose to carry on with Gymnastics classes and was recently proud to be chosen for a progress medal. She really enjoys attending each week and has come a long way in the time since she’s been attending.

Parent of Rhia O’Connor – 5 *****

The Coaches are very friendly and approachable. Very encouraging yet firm with the children. Communication with club is excellent and queries and issues are responded to promptly. Springfit also ran the best birthday party we have ever had for any if our 3 children. My kids love Springfit and look forward to their classes . They have both made excellent progress this year and for Alfie in particular it has been brilliant for raising his self esteem. Thank you!

Parent of Alfie and Harry Strutton – 5 *****

Both my girls are really enjoying the Monday sessions and the care and attention from your two instructors. I am very happy with all aspects of the club. I was particularly impressed when the club contacted me as places had become available for my children. Adam was able to answer all my questions and he made my decision to join very easy. The club also provides good communication and has an easy and efficient method for paying each term’s fees.

Parent of Abigail and Suzanna Hobbs – 5 *****

The coaches at the class my son attends are absolutely wonderful. My son loves it. The gymnastics class is really helping his coordination and general ability to listen to and interpret instructions. Both the coaches and I can see definite and significant improvement to his achievement, and as a result to his overall self-esteem. I can’t express fully how exhilarated Patrick was to receive hands-on help to manoeuvre his body into the right position for a few times until he gets the hang of it. It was such a confidence boost for him. The coaches are so upbeat and relaxed, Patrick always enjoys attending classes. I know Patrick will continue to benefit from his class and perhaps most importantly that he will continue to have a great deal of fun there.

Parent of Patrick Huggett – 5 *****

Charlotte only started the class a few weeks ago so it’s still very early days for her but she is absolutely loving it and I’m extremely happy with how well she’s doing in the class.

Parent of Charlotte O’Leary – 5 *****

Helen is amazing. She makes sure everyone is included, no matter what their ability. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She never makes me feel silly for being there and always makes me feel comfortable, despite my lack of ability.

Kathy Cassidy – 5 *****

My daughter has only been going for a few weeks and already loves her gymnastics class. All the coaches have been fantastic and have really helped to build my daughters confidence and master some gymnastics moves. Thank you.

Parent of Amy Webster – 5*****

Dexter seems to do really well with the trampolining side of things and managed to complete his grade 6 last week with much praise and encouragement, which is fantastic. We also noticed how they were progressing and are delighted that they are happy, with good memories of their time there with many badges and certificates to prove how they have benefited and enjoyed the past 8 months with you all at Funfit.
I have nothing but praise for what you offer and would like to say a huge huge thank you the office staff and all of the Funfit coaching team; Stacey, Ashleigh, Alex, Danni, Emily, Lucy, and everyone else that have helped both Dexter and Darcie achieve what they have so far. This won’t be the last you will see of us and will be in touch in due course with regards to the summer sessions.

Parent of Dexter & Darcie Allworthy – 5 *****

I have been to numerous gymnastics classes both as a child and as an adult, and also used to teach sports acro myself many years ago. Helen and her teams coaching and ideas for progression to teach certain moves is the best I have ever experienced, I have learnt more in the few months with Helen than I have done in years at other clubs. Thanks you to everyone for making exercise fun and for supporting my mid life crisis and my ambition to be a back flipping 40 year old 😉

Hazel Serne – 5 *****

My son has been going to trampolining classes for 3 years now, and he has never not wanted to go! He really loves the class, and it is a good way for him to keep active without even realising it. The instructors are fantastic, very patient and make the classes really fun. They are very knowledgeable and safety is always a priority. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending the club to anyone.
