Reviews
Fantastic gymnastics venue, especially now the gym has doubled in size! The staff are very warm, welcoming and caring and the programs are very age appropriate. Highly recommend this centre, it's great to watch your child develop their skills & confidence. It's great value for money, our daughter loves it!
Great gym! We train here when visiting from Melbourne, the club are always accommodating and happy to have our daughter for a day or beyond to suit our periods in Canberra. The coaching staff are engaging and our daughter always loves visiting! Thanks Meg & Joel
My experience at Gungahlin Gymnastics was a mixed one. The staff here were incredibly friendly and demonstrated a high level of professionalism. They were knowledgeable and fully equipped to provide a great gymnastics experience. However, I couldn't help but notice an unpleasant odor in the facility. It's an aspect that might need some attention, as it can affect the overall experience for visitors. Despite this minor setback, the positive interactions with the staff and the gym's equipment certainly stood out. Overall, Gungahlin Gymnastics has a lot going for it, and with a little attention to the environment, it could be an even better experience for visitors.
It was great at first but they don’t have enough qualified staff to run the classes sometimes. They recently did a big recruitment drive on seek for staff advertising that it didn’t require any prior skill or knowledge. They even sent emails to parents asking to come and teach saying you don’t need any qualifications. I just think its loosing the quality of the classes now. It’s disappointing as it had such a good rep in the beginning.
In my experience, the adult gymnastics has limited opportunities for skill development. The low "coach to participant" ratio means that the coaches mainly perform supervision duties, leaving no time to help participants work on their skills. I was left on my own for the majority of the period and left to figure it out for myself, which is extremely unhelpful when you're a beginner/intermediate. Potentially, classes might be okay if you are just looking for facilities to put into practice skills you already have. Otherwise, I would not recommend.
