Well Done to our December 2017 Trampoline Progress Medal Winners!

With the Club continuing to grow, we now have over 30 trampoline progress medals to hand out to worthy winners! It was a great start to December having parents along to watch their children and other classmates show the progress they have made by individually showcasing their ever growing repertoire of skills. The head coach then had to decide on one trampolinist whom they felt had made the most progress over the last six months. This is definitely one of the hardest tasks as a Springfit Head Coach, as everyone seems to be coming on leaps and bounds (pun intended)!

Coaches also look at other factors such as attendance level, attentiveness in class – this is particularly important in trampolining where everyone should be ‘spotting’ for the other trampolinists – as well perseverance with trying a tricky move or improvements in general balance and co-ordination. At the end of the class, the chosen individual was awarded a well deserved gold medal for their hard work and determination. All the winners are listed below!

We would like to say WELL DONE again to all our trampoline progress medal winners and all of our class members for a great effort in 2017!

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 am very happy at the progress made by both my girls. They really enjoy their classes and I feel they are continuously being developed.

George has been thoroughly enjoying his trampolining sessions and I’ve been really impressed with how well he has followed instructions given his age. I think trampolining is very good for him

“Thank you for your help and a big thank you to all the team, Alex loved every minute of his classes, he made friends and is very proud of all of his achievements. The coaches are amazing!”

Lily loves gymnastics and is very dedicated. I think all that the club has done for her is fantastic and we have become a true advocate for Springfit.

Parent of Lily E- 5 *****

Ten out of ten. Very impressed by the commitment and care the team show towards members of the class. They are very patient and understanding – always appear keen to show and encourage different skills. My son loves coming on Wednesdays and thinks the whole team are brilliant. Thank you for providing these opportunities to have safe active fun.

Parent of William – 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 E- 5 *****

The girls are all absolutely brilliant with the children and Lucy absolutely LOVES funfit! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Parent of Lucy S – 5 *****

Best Gym Club Ever! She has gained so much confidence and we think that your set up is amazing and all the staff are friendly, professional and dedicated.

Parent of Madison M – 5*****

Colbie has progressed hugely from where she started (not even wanting to stand on the trampoline!), and with the encouragement from Sharley and Ashleigh she’s gone past our expectations. Her strength from the floor work and ability to balance has grown a lot – her physio told us gymnastics would help, and Springfit was the perfect choice for her. We are very grateful for every bit of help and encouragement the coaches have shown to Colbie over the year. It has not gone unnoticed. I would not hesitate to recommend Springfit for any parent of a hypermobile child to see an obvious improvement in their confidence and abilities.

Parent of Colbie P – 5 *****

Springfit is great value for money, all the staff are wonderful with the children and encourage them all to try new things, and are so encouraging and full of praise when they achieve something for the first time, but don’t put the children under pressure to try things that they can’t or don’t want to do. The fact that the club has some structure encourages listening and turn taking, without them realising, and in a very fun way. All the children are so proud of themselves when they receive certificates and badges when they achieve certain competencies, and love getting the stickers at the end of each session. I feel that this is the best activity club that I have taken my daughter to, both in value for money and fun, it has improved her listening skills and has increased her confidence, and allows her to jump around in a safe and fun environment, In short she loves it!!!! read more

The parents sit-in session recently was fantastic ! Everyone was on task, engaged and active all the time. It was a pleasure to see. So a big ‘Thank you’ to the instructors. Both Sam and Joe are still loving their gymnastics and look forward to going each week. Long may it continue!!!

Parent of Sam and Joseph M – 5 *****

The children both really enjoy the class and I can see great improvement in their agility and confidence. Thank you!

Parent of Leon & Tabitha A – 5 *****

Krystal has been greatly benefiting from gymnastics and she has truly enjoyed herself. You are all creating such warm and positive atmosphere that a child is so willing and eager to participate in your classes. Krystal’s self esteem and confidence have improved and she has developed a strong spirit ethic with your support. I wish for all all the best. Trainers Steve and Plamen are great and Krystal will miss them.

Everyone we met on our first day at Springfit were amazing! The coaches were very patient with my five year-old, and used various techniques to help her overcome her shyness of the new environment. Coaches kept popping over to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about, and everyone was so kind and patient and I can’t thank them enough. Children need to be shown how to do everything at this age. I was so impressed to see Chris was actually doing hand stands and cartwheel demonstrations for the class. In seeing this I trusted him, and joined Springfit to find out that’s how all your coaches teach your classes! Georgie was demonstrating on the trampoline and Chris and Ella were actually doing gymnastics, wow! This give children clear instruction as well as something to aspire to be able to do. Finally the energy was great, Shannon and her little sister loved the music in the background and I have searched high and low for a good, fun but structured club and now think I have found it!

“Thanks so much for the competition on Sunday! I was really impressed with how efficiently it ran and how quickly you got through all the routines and vaults.

Your kind words of encouragement really helps her confidence. She was a bit sad to not win a medal but I reminded her there were lots of positives to take away – she achieved a new vault and learnt lots of new skills on floor! She loved seeing her backward roll to handstand in the YouTube video as she only mastered that a few days before the competition. She also choreographed her whole routine by herself this year and worked really hard with the little ones in the class she volunteers in, helping them to learn their routines too. She is working on her confidence and to believe in herself a bit more thanks to all that Springfit does for her 🙂

Both of my boys participated in trampolining and more recently Parkour for many years and learnt a lot over the time they attended. We are very thankful to all of the Springfit staff for the time they have spent training them in classes. It is a very successful Club and I’m sure will be even more popular in future.

Lucia says ‘I love going to my class at Springfit on a Tuesday evening! The teachers are very friendly and encouraging and I feel as if I am learning a lot from them. I really enjoyed the competition too in Horley. It was very motivating to get the chance to compete against other gymnasts and everything was so well organized.’ We are very happy to see that Lucia is so happy with her lessons and appreciate all the encouragement she is getting from your coaches who do a great job. A very important positive is that you provide an excellent ratio of coach to pupil. In Lucia’s last session there were four coaches for around 16-18 gymnasts. This allows for a lot of individual attention and help. We were also extremely impressed with the whole organization of the competition. Everybody seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.

Great staff. I work within the fitness industry as a Pilates teacher, and for kids especially, the coaching interaction for children is so often ‘monosyllabic’. Ella is loving her trampolining sessions with Sharley. So encouraging and motivating at a kids level! You guys really have it sussed from beginning to end, it’s so inspiring to see!

Parent of Ella G – 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.
