- Floating Stars (1 to 5 years) – Unstructured, child initiated, children explore the gym in own time (Parent assisted Free Play)
BK’s Free Play classes are supervised, unstructured, child-initiated sessions that allow children to explore the gym in their own time and on their own terms. Free play develops essential gross and fine motor skills as children run, jump, swing, and balance in our well-equipped facility with participants getting to use their imagination through fundamental movement.
While we do have supervising coaches available through this class, due to the developmental stage of this age group, parent participation is required throughout the entire session. This allows a higher range of control and safety and the ability to share in the fun!
Gym FUNdamentals: 5 years +
Our Gym FUNdamentals programs are suited for children turning 5 to 8 years old who want to have fun whilst developing gymnastics skills, learning cool tricks, and, most importantly, how to do them safely!
The objective of these classes is to continually enhance ability by progressing through a wide range of gymnastics movement across all apparatus. Every class follows a written program based on a specific set of skill competencies, ensuring gymnasts are developing strong foundations from the ground up. Just like all learning, mastering basic skills is essential to developing a more advanced ability.
Research shows that children who develop these movement skills are far more likely to get involved in sports and recreation throughout their life and will have a lower risk of obesity.
Club Gym
The Club Gym program is for children turning 8 to 13+ years.
Build upon the Gym Fundamentals program with progressions in skills. These classes will teach the skills of gymnastics in a non-competitive and fun environment with a focus on developing coordination, strength, flexibility, and balance. They will learn how to tumble, trick and twist under the instruction and encouragement of experienced and qualified coaches.
Gymnasts can progress through levels of skills and can choose to display their skills and routines in fun, participation-based carnivals. Club Gym is ideal for children who want to gain the movement benefits of gymnastics without committing to the intensity of a competitive program.
Our bronze, silver, gold, and platinum levels provide a visible focus on skills progression, building confidence and ability as your child evolves and achieves their own goals.
