If you've been searching for “the best gymnastics club near me” , you've probably come across a few that all sound fairly similar. Vault, beam, floor… we all do the same stuff, right? Well, sort of.

It turns out that dusting off your gym bag might be one of the smartest moves you can make - and not just for your fitness. According to a 2026 study published in the Journal of Political Economy , a bit of physical exercise could actually make you better at thinking, learning, and staying focused. The study, titled Exercise Improves Academic Performance  by Cappelen, Charness, Ekström, Gneezy, and Tungodden , tested what would happen if students were given a free gym members

If you’ve been meaning to sign your child up for gymnastics but assumed the waiting lists would be longer than a half-term break… this might just be your lucky moment. At Wickers Gymnastics Club , we’re quietly spreading the word that – whisper it – some of our school-aged sessions have short or even non-existent waiting lists right now , especially for children born in 2018 and 2019 . Yes, really. No cartwheels through red tape required. What to Expect From Our Weekly Sessio

The tree might be down. The last Celebrations tin is nothing but wrappers. And no one knows what day it is anymore. It must mean January is coming... If the kidlets are starting to bounce off the walls again (and you've mysteriously run out of coffee), we’ve got just the thing to ease into the New Year with a bit of fun, movement, and foam-pit joy. 🎈 Wickers Gymnastics Stay & Play is back for 2026! Join us for a relaxed, joyful session where your kids can climb, tumble, boun

Well... you did it. The stockings have been opened, someone’s already lost a battery cover, and the turkey is (hopefully) in the oven. If you’re reading this while balancing a mince pie and dodging a flying foam dart - we salute you. From all of us at Wickers Gymnastics Club , we just wanted to say a massive Merry Christmas  to our amazing gymnasts, families, and the legends who bring them to classes even when it’s raining sideways and someone’s left their water bottle at hom

Let’s be honest – once the wrapping paper’s been cleared and the sugar levels have hit their seasonal peak, most kids are bouncing around like overcaffeinated reindeer. And most grown-ups are just trying to remember what day it is, where the remote went, and how they’re already  out of milk again. Enter: Wickers Gymnastics Club’s Stay & Play sessions  – the perfect post-Christmas plans for little movers and big thinkers (i.e. you, planning how to survive the week before New Y

Let’s be honest - by the 22nd of December, the kids are vibrating with excitement, the biscuit tin is mysteriously empty, and you’re dangerously close to wrapping a present using a tea towel and sheer determination. That’s where Wickers Gymnastics Club  comes to the rescue with its Christmas Holiday Activity Day  - a full-day festive extravaganza designed to keep your kids active, happy, and very much out of your hair  while you finish the million things still on your to-do l

There’s something truly magical about that mid-December excitement – when kids are counting down to Christmas, the tree’s already slightly lopsided from too much “help”, and school’s just about winding down. It’s also the perfect moment to burn off some of that festive fizz – and that’s where Wickers Gymnastics Club comes in. On Saturday 13th December , Wickers will be welcoming children aged 4+ (who are in full-time school) for a special Christmas party packed with energy, m

If your child’s idea of a perfect party involves bouncing off walls, diving into a foam pit, and showing off cartwheels to a cheering squad of friends – welcome to Wickers Gymnastics Birthday Parties . 🎈 We don’t do boring. We do flipping fantastic. 🤸‍♀️ So, what makes a Wickers party so special? Your group gets exclusive use of the entire gym  – no sharing, no crowds, just your own private tumble-fest.

What do songs, stories, and swinging your arms in time to music have in common? More than you’d think – especially if you're under 7 and wearing a sparkly leotard. A fascinating new study from Indonesia looked at how literacy-based rhythmic gymnastics  – that’s gymnastics with music, stories and singing built in – helps young children develop both their motor skills and their reading and writing skills . And the results? Absolutely worth shouting about (or at least cartwheeli

So you’re enrolling your child in gymnastics – brilliant! 🎉One thing you’ll spot in the fine print at Wickers Gymnastics Club is the need for a valid British Gymnastics (BG) membership . We mention it a lot – but what does it actually mean? And why is it such a good thing for your gymnast? 🧩 What is BG Membership? In short – BG is the national governing body  for gymnastics in the UK.I f your child trains at a BG-registered club (like Wickers), they must have current BG mem

Ever had one of those Sundays where everyone’s a bit restless, the toys are boring, and someone’s somehow already lost their socks? Yeah – us too.

They’re a chance for kids to let off steam in the best way possible – free play in a real  gymnastics club, with soft play, proper equipment , and yes... the legendary foam pit . It’s not a class.
