Become part of the Garioch Gymnastics Family

We encourage children and adults of all abilities into healthy activity through gymnastics and gymnastics-related exercise.

We are a non-profit Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).
Everything we do is to the benefit of our participants.

Garioch Gymnastics Club is one of the most successful clubs in Scotland. Set up 34 years ago with only a handful of participants, the club has expanded so much that our precious home facility in Inverurie became too small, prompting our move to our much larger full time facility in Kintore.

In addition to our main facility, we reduce your carbon footprint by providing satellite gymnastics classes around Aberdeenshire: from Ellon to Insch, and Alford to Kemnay.

Our coaching team works tirelessly with all our participants to enable them to fulfil their potential and meet their aspirations.

Management

Janine Robertson

“Gymnastics – what’s not to love! I fell in love with the sport at 10 and never lost it. Regardless of ability I believe it’s the best sport in the world to develop physically literate children. My desire is to coach & help provide a facility to enable this to happen.”

Cathy Osborne

“I love seeing the engagement on a kid’s face with a sense of achievement of a new skill, whether its their first cartwheel or first double somersault, its great to see a child’s goal achieved.”
