About Oadby and Leicester Gymnastics Club
Oadby and Leicester Gymnastics Club brings gymnastics to families right across Leicester and the East Midlands, with locations in both Oadby and Market Harborough. A British Gymnastics-affiliated club, they offer something for nearly everyone: parent and tots sessions for the youngest starters, recreational classes running through preschool and school-age children, competitive squads for those ready to push further, specialist tumbling sessions, and adult gymnastics for grown-ups keen to flip, vault, and stretch. Customer feedback has pushed their Google reputation close to five stars over more than 150 reviews, and it's clear why: parents consistently praise the coaching team's warmth, patience, and skill, especially when working with children who need a bit of extra support or encouragement.
The club's facilities include a foam pit and tumble track, giving children space to try new moves safely, and the accessible setup extends to a wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilet, and car park. Parents particularly appreciate the special-needs and relaxed sensory sessions, where staff take time to adapt and make every child feel welcome. One mother of an autistic toddler described how the team went above and beyond, giving her little one the time and attention needed to settle in and explore.
Classes run most days, with parent and tots sessions taking place multiple times each weekday, and the club opens on both Saturdays and Sundays. The atmosphere is lively and supportive, and several reviews highlight the sense of community parents feel dropping their children off each week. Beyond regular classes, the club runs school-holiday camps, hosts birthday parties, and offers open-gym play sessions where children can roam freely and discover the equipment at their own pace.
Parents note the affordable session fees and feel they're getting excellent quality. Spaces fill quickly, so reaching out early is wise. A gentle introduction for a toddler, a structured recreational class for a school-age child, or a competitive squad pathway for a dedicated young gymnast are all available at Oadby and Leicester Gymnastics Club, which covers Leicester's families with care and professionalism.
