Hub Gymnastics

I come here every week to watch my grandchild at mini gym. They love it, the coaches are great and ensure the children are participating, enjoying themselves while following class rules and instructions. At times there have been a few children that don’t listen and it has thrown the class atmosphere. The coaches are quick to react and get the session back on track. Overall it’s a great experience for child development

We had Hub Gymnastics come to our rescue when another club was unable to support our Sporting Schools program. Great prices, excellent staff and a brilliant experience for all of our students.

We love attending the Hub Kindergym sessions! The new dedicated space is a great setup for the little ones away from all the big kids equipment. The class leaders are great at setting up different circuits and activities every week. We’ve even had to start listening to the ‘pack up song’ at home because our toddler enjoys it so much!

The staff are fantastic drop in and have a squiz.

If you are looking for a supportive, safe and child-focused gymnastics club, I would strongly recommend that you do not enrol your child at Hub Gymnastics. Our experience here raised serious concerns about supervision, professionalism and the way very young children are treated. The class my child attended consisted of children around four years old, which makes the lack of care and engagement from staff even more concerning. I should also note parents are not allowed to be in the class they need to watch from the top which is fine if the coaches are attentive, have a duty of care and engage with the children. As the coaches in this class showed poor skills in the above it makes it a very dangerous situation relying on the coaches to give your child adequate care. During sessions I personally witnessed a child fall and hurt themselves, only for staff to laugh rather than respond with care and support. In another incident, a child was able to run out of the club area and lock themselves in the communal men’s toilet instead of being properly supervised until their parent returned from upstairs. Situations like this should never occur in a facility responsible for small children. The assistant coach, Renee, appeared consistently disengaged and irritated throughout sessions. Her body language was frequently negative — standing with hands on hips, sighing loudly, and showing little interest in interacting with the children she was supposed to be guiding. My son is a very placid child, and during the activity circuits other children repeatedly pushed in front of him causing him to miss his turns on many of the activities. This behaviour is completely normal for excited four-year-olds — but it is the coach’s role to manage the group and ensure every child gets a fair turn. Instead, this was ignored, meaning my child regularly missed out on participating. To be clear, this is not a criticism of the children. Four-year-olds rely entirely on the adults supervising them. The responsibility lies with the coaches. What was even more concerning was the response when these issues were raised with the club. I was told their priority was looking after their coaches. In any children’s organisation, the priority should always be the safety, wellbeing and fair treatment of the children. Parents place enormous trust in clubs like this when they hand over their young children. In our experience, that trust was not respected. Due to the seriousness of the concerns, I am currently pursuing a formal complaint through the appropriate channels, including the Australian Human Rights Commission. It is incredibly disappointing that concerns involving the treatment and supervision of four-year-old children were not taken more seriously. Parents deserve to know what they may be walking into before enrolling their child. If you are a parent researching gymnastics clubs for your child, especially a young child around four or five years old, please take the time to look carefully at how clubs supervise children and how they respond when concerns are raised. Children deserve patient, attentive coaches who actively support them and ensure every child is included and safe. Based on our experience, this was not the environment we encountered here. I wanted to give no stars but Google wouldn't let me.
