My Gym Richmond

My Gym was born out of a passion to teach children in a fun, physically engaging environment. The teachers delight in seeing children reach those incredible milestones – from the tentative first steps to tumbling down soft mats – sharing parents’ excitement at the children’s achievements. My Gym’s goal is to create a space where children feel loved and supported so their self-esteem and confidence can flourish, developing from active, giggling children into happy and confident adults. They cherish every one of their members.

My Gym Richmond opened in 2019 and is conveniently located near Sainsbury’s off the A316 in Richmond, with parking readily available. The bespoke space has all the facilities that the children – and parents – could desire.

Classes

The core offering of My Gym is the programme of classes that takes place there, for children aged three months to 10 years. The majority of the classes are part of the main movement and gymnastics programme, but there are also two dance classes as well as a few special classes that run alongside the main programme. From first steps to handstands, My Gym grows with your little ones.

All classes offer a FREE trial, which can be booked here.

• • Gymnastics
    • Little Bundles, 3m – 6m: A fun introduction to music and movement, with baby exercises, songs, dances, and other adventures for the infant-parent team.
    • Tiny Tykes, 6m – 13m: As the babies become more mobile, new and stimulating activities are introduced, including stretches, balance and agility skills and more.
    • Waddlers, 14m – 22m: Balancing, tumbling, hanging and agility skills are introduced, which help the children develop a love of physical activity.
    • Gymsters, 23m – 2y6m: A more structured format where youngsters sing, dance, swing, play games, and more – some activities with the parent, some without.
    • Terrific Tots, 2y6m – 3y3m: In addition to games and pre-gymnastics, children learn sports skills and gain fine and gross motor proficiency, whilst becoming more independent.
    • Mighty Mites, 3y3m – 5y6m: Strength, flexibility, and agility are increased as gymnastic skills are introduced, geared to build self-esteem and confidence.
    • Gymnastics, 5y – 10y11m: Whatever their level or experience, children learn skills on the bars, vault, beam, and in tumbling, with an emphasis on having fun.
  • Dance
    • Pre-Ballet, 2y7m – 4y6m: Introducing the fundamentals of a structured dance class in a fun, noncompetitive way. Children will gain confidence as they learn the vocabulary of ballet, are taught basic stretches and barre exercises, and are given opportunities to move to music. This class is designed to encourage an early love of dance!
    • Street Dance, 4y – 8y11m: The perfect class for children who want to dance, stay active, and learn how to freestyle! Musicality, rhythm, and creative movement are key components of this fun, urban/hip-hop style dance class that teaches boys and girls alike to step, stomp, and shake it out.

As well as this progressive programme of classes, there are Ninja Training classes encompassing games and obstacle courses, Mymo’s Mixers classes for mixed ages between 7m-3y11m, and Homeschool PE classes that offer homeschooled children structured physical activity in a nurturing, progressional, state-of-the art environment.

All members of My Gym can also take advantage of at least one Practice & Play session per week. These sessions are a great opportunity for kids of all ages to enjoy the gym in an open-play concept, to practice and hone the skills they have been learning in their classes. A skilled My Gym teacher is also present to offer a helping hand.
