The club caters primarily to university students and adults returning to gymnastics after years away, picking up the sport for the first time, or working towards higher-level skills.
Sessions cover vault, bars, beam and floor across both the women's and men's artistic programmes, with acrobatic gymnastics providing opportunities for partner and group work. The adult gymnastics strand welcomes absolute beginners through to experienced club gymnasts, and the atmosphere is typically encouraging and social rather than intimidating. Training takes place in dedicated facilities on campus, where the club's coaching team supports members at different levels.
Gymnasts appreciate the chance to work on apparatus they rarely see elsewhere in adult gymnastics, and the university setting creates a friendly, inclusive environment where adults can train alongside like-minded peers. The club competes regularly within the student gymnastics circuit, giving those interested in performance a goal to work towards. Edinburgh University Gymnastics Club suits adults looking for serious gymnastics training in Edinburgh, as well as students wanting to continue or start the sport while at university.
