Welcome to **Locksheath & Gosport Gymnastics Club**, a well-established and highly reputable facility dedicated to fostering physical literacy and a love for movement in children from a very young age. Located in Southampton and Gosport, our club provides a safe, fun, and child-friendly learning environment where kids can thrive under the guidance of enthusiastic, qualified, and DBS-checked coaches.
We offer two primary structured programs designed to meet children at their developmental stage. Our **Gymtots** program is specifically tailored for pre-school children (from walking age up to 5 years old). These sessions focus on imaginative physical activities that build gross motor skills, agility, balance, and coordination. Initially, parents or guardians participate alongside their children in paired sessions, gradually transitioning to independent play as the little ones grow in confidence. For school-aged children (4-12 years), our **Gyminis** program offers recreational gymnastics structured into Junior and Intermediate groups. These sessions are packed with fun challenges that enhance strength, flexibility, and teamwork, while also helping children channel their boundless energy in a positive way.
At Locksheath, we believe that physical activity is the foundation for lifelong health. Our coaching approach emphasizes not only physical development but also social skills, self-confidence, and educational awareness. Children learn through play, music, and movement, developing essential skills like problem-solving and listening. We also feature an engaging **Awards Scheme**, where participants earn badges and certificates to celebrate their milestones, boosting their sense of achievement.
Parents consistently praise our club for its welcoming atmosphere, patient coaching staff, and the noticeable growth in their children’s independence and physical abilities. Whether you are looking for a way to help your toddler explore movement or seeking a structured afterschool activity for your school-aged child, Locksheath & Gosport Gymnastics Club is the perfect place to start. Join us and let your child jump, climb, and shine!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the class we go to! We go on Thursdays and the ladies that run it are so amazing! They make it fun and creative but our gymnastics in it too, I take both my toddlers. We have such a great time. It’s way better than a soft play session as they are learning so much and it’s nice and clean ❤️
Fantastic experience: Our son loves using the gym equipment and joining in with the warm up routines. We started in the toddler group ant locks heath and now he is in the independent sessions. The gymnastic activities are really fun and engaging, but also help develop essential skills like turn taking, listening and following instructions. My son started off nervous but warm and friendly staff gave him more confidence.
Fantastic experience: This has been the perfect class that my son and i attend on a weekly basis and have been for almost a year now. We struggled finding a class that engaged him but this has. He loves it and his confidence has grown so much. The ladies that run and assist in class are lovely and friendly.
Fantastic experience: I went to this class for 10+ years and loved every minute. Lots of learning in a stress free environment = lots of fun! Staff were all fantastic couldn’t recommend enough. Special shout out to Coach Toni!
Positive experience: I have been taking my grand daughter for a year now and she has come on so much. I have always found the instructors friendly and good with the children teaching them the correct use of equipment and making the sessions enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to locksheath gymtots with my granddaughter for a year. Brilliant we both love it.
Negative experience: Having read Nadias review, unfortunately, I can't say I am surprised. I have only attended one term of gymtots with my 1.5 year old and won't be returning. On arriving at class, coaches were somewhat unwelcoming and gathered amongst themselves chatting. I'm not sure what experience the coaches have with young children but it certainly appears some have minimal to none, it seems they are out of touch with how toddlers behave, explore and learn. My toddler was spoken to with instruction as though he was around 4 years of age, despite attending an age appropriate group, I also overheard other parents voice the same views amongst themselves at class. Altogether a very unenjoyable class to attend with a young, active toddler in tow as the constant instruction and need to pay attention rather than any element to explore freely would, inevitably, cause tantrums. I think this class is better suited to older children, able to sit still and understand instruction. I have emailed them directly with my feedback and have not received any reply.
Negative experience: I have given this organisation a lot of money over the period of about a year. Overall I am really disappointed in their performance both regarding gymnastics (too easy for my son) and I have concerns about the welfare of the children attending as the staff do not seem to be aware of physical incidents towards my boy from another boy. Nothing was done and I have been told by email that the boys have been separated yet there was no mention of this during the session and no evidence that they had been separated. The staff were unable to deal with another boy pushing my boy in the face and we’re not even aware of what was going on until I intervened and asked the boy to stop. I also raised concerns about being hassled by staff members to leave the gym when I want to stay and watch my son. I finally decided to email in about my concerns and was told I was causing a health and safety issue by being in the hall. I was also told that breastfeeding on the cooling down mats while not in use was causing a health and safety issues. I find this absolutely unacceptable!! I am furious!! I strongly urge you to look elsewhere if you are looking for a gym tots on gym minis clubs!! If you need any more information ℹ️ please contact me!!
Fantastic experience: Good facilities.
