Our state of the art, specialist gymnastics centre comes fully equipped with Olympic apparatus, specialist sponge foam landing pits, a sunken rebound, overhead rigs and twisting belts.
Operated in partnership with the Teesside Gymnastics Association and local gymnastics clubs, this fantastic facility alongside our six courts sports hall provides a unique training, competitions and events facility for gymnasts!
Gymworld facilities include a competitive sprung floor area, high bar, rings, fast track trampoline, high balance beams and foam fit.

“The facilities are great and the coaches are really supportive. I’ve been able to learn new routines and learn more on any areas I want to improve on. We’ve also had the chance to get involved in competitions which has been really exciting.”
