Virtual Acro Competition

As many of our members would be aware, our Club Calendar usually involves an Acrobatics gymnastics competition around this time of year. Last month we adapted our tumbling competition to be available as a virtual event, and following the success of seeing the winners delighted to receive their medals in the post, we have decided to do the same with our Acrobatics competition.

This “Virtual Acro Gymnastics Competition” will be taking place over on Springfit Online – our Facebook service for members to enjoy our continued service during this trying time.

To find out more about Springfit Online please click on the button below.

We are pleased to invite members of all ages and abilities to partner with one, or two, members of their own household, and send over a picture or video of them performing a balance skill that we would usually see at the acrobatics competition.

I can’t speak highly enough about the way the club is run. All the coaches I’ve had have been brilliant and I thoroughly enjoy everything I’ve done in both gymnastics and trampolining. I’ve definitely fallen in love with the sport and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Springfit to anyone who wants to try gymnastics.

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!

I would just like to say how impressed I am with all the coaches, including those that cover classes. We find, even with their different teaching techniques, they are all friendly, supportive and bring the best out of all the children participating.

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!

Thomas has hugely enjoyed the Springfit classes. I am very grateful for the time he spent with the club, and feel it kept his fitness up and pushed his boundaries in what he felt capable of doing. Thank you!

“Elsie really enjoys her Funfit classes. The coaches are brilliant both in gymnastics and on the trampolines.”

Parent of Elsie I

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 *****

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 B – 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.

Alex is so good with the children, and Ethan thoroughly enjoyed his trampolining competition. I will recommend this class to Ethans friends and family.

Parent of Ethan K- 5 *****

We enjoy excellent feedback and advice from coaches, an excellent level of challenge and support in class as well as fun and varied activities and warm ups

Maisie loves her class and her coaches. She feels very comfortable with them. They are very encouraging and Maisie learns every week. They push her without pushing too much, keeping it fun as a 4-year-old likes. Keep up the good work and we will keep making the one-hour round trip.”

“The Funfit class is fantastic with brilliant coaches. Lucy loves going and looks forward to it every week.”

Parent of Lucy L

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.

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 *****

The class is fantastic value for money, the instructors are excellent with the little ones. Strict but fair and kind. The class is constant which is paramount with two lively boys. There is very little or no waiting around time for children to get bored. 5 stars all round.

Parent of Oliver W- 5 *****

Just writing to let you know that Lucienne absolutely adores her trampolining and looks forward to attending lessons every week. Her coaches have been amazing and very patient.
Lucienne has mild cerebral palsy and finds it difficult with any form of physical activity, but since attending her lessons there has been a noticeable difference to her physical development. Her balance strength and co-ordination has much improved.
We are truly grateful of the lessons she receives and the fantastic coaches.
