Every session at Gymnasium is led by a qualified coach. Most of our team have been on the floor for a decade or more. Strength & conditioning specialists, Olympic lifting coaches, gymnastics coaches, ex-athletes. The reason the coaching is good is because the coaches are.
Each site is run by a Gym Lead with their own team behind them. Same coaching standard across every location.
