Best gymnastic classes for kids in Singapore
Alpha Gymnastics
Looking for an action-packed gymnastic lesson for kids of all ages and abilities? Check out Alpha Gymnastics‘ classes! They are professionally designed from Romper class level (a parent-participation lesson suitable for tumbling tots as soon as they can walk) right through to intermediate programs for full-on acrobatic kiddos. Kids will be encouraged to learn at their own pace on the Olympic standard gymnastic paraphernalia, and we love that Alpha is insistent that it is never too late to learn how to handstand. We may have to take up that challenge at the Adult/Teen Recreational Course one of these days…

Worried these gymnastics classes for kids might be a wallet-busting sports pick? The good news is that Prime is a not-for-profit registered society. That means that this skilled sport is made far more accessible to all who want to give it a go. Coaches from six different countries will teach budding gymnasts from 18 months to develop their skills and encourage your kiddo’s independence, focus and self-discipline, too.

Beary Fun Gym
Weekly children’s gymnastic classes at Beary Fun Gym are designed for four- to 12-year-olds who want to learn some somersaulting and backflip skills in a fun, energetic class. This gym believes all children are capable of learning and benefiting from a gymnastics program. But this is not a play-based gymnastic class for kids though: children are taught by first-rate coaches and will be expected to practise, practise and then practise some more.

Bianka Panova Sport & Art Academy
Set up by nine times World Champion rhythmic gymnast Bianka Panova, kids from age four can choose from either general gymnastics (non-competitive classes where the emphasis is on fun and friendship) or the rhythmic gymnast program, which is based on Bianka’s own Eastern European training. Forget the traditional beams, bars and vaults! Rhythmic gymnastics combines ballet lessons, dance moves and acrobatic grooves using props like balls, ropes, ribbons and hoops. Artistic expression is the name of the game. Not to mention, the Head Coach is Bianka herself! She trains keen youngsters through the certified grades in a competitive but fun-packed environment.
