About Us

Mission

Sky Gym's Mission is to provide FUN, SAFE AND POSITIVE programmes for both parent and child. Our motivation is to promote 'General Gymnastics For All' through our custom designed activities. We strive to impart a fun mix of gymnastics skills as well as to develop the individual as a whole.

Gymnastics is the cultural base for the expression of all motor and body movements. Not only does it teach balance and coordination, it is also an excellent way for establishing cross patterning skills, strength, flexibility and fitness.

You can find the standard Olympic sized apparatus including 2 big rectangular trampolines plus one that is 12m long! To add on to the fun element, we have a slide which leads to a ball pit, a flying fox and many different games! Come on down and join us at Sky Gym to experience fun filled and enriching gymnastics classes!

Benefits of Gymnastics

Every individual benefit from gymnastics. The areas listed below are examples of the actual benefits from gymnastics activities. Many of the benefits of gymnastics are not only related to just learning gymnastics skills, but more important developmental areas that will help your child become a better student and young adult. Gymnastics programmes are not solely about producing gymnasts, there are more important factors to consider. ALL children, regardless of ability, should stay in gymnastics for 3 - 5 years, if not longer, to get the full benefit of what gymnastics teaches.

Self Confidence

Through the challenge of learning gymnastics skills, children gain confidence with each step that they take. Performing skills on the gymnastics apparatus help them gain confidence in their own abilities. This improve self confidence will apply to other areas of their lives including school & life as a whole.

Coordination

Gymnastics instruction helps develop better coordination and motor skills. For a young child, a great deal of their self confidence comes from how coordinated they are because their “world” is so physical rather than mental.

Social Skills

Especially for the younger ones, gymnastics gives the little ones a chance to learn about social skills like listening and following instructions, taking turns, being quiet, respecting others and a lot more. We work hard to build social skills with them because they are so important in other aspects of their future.

Discipline

We do have rules in gymnastics classes and the teachers treat these rules very importantly.  The more discipline the children get today the more it benefits them as our classes are conducted in a very controlled environment.

Overcoming Fears

Some parts of gymnastics are very challenging. It is good training for all kids as they need to be challenged every now & then. The key is that we challenge them with “attainable challenges” so that they are successful the majority of the time. To face a challenge, maybe with a little fear, and then to accomplish the challenge is a wonderful part of gymnastics classes and it happens all of the time.

Determination

Gymnastics builds determination. Some gymnastics skills are hard to master so the children learn determination in continuing to work hard even when things are tough.

Fitness & Strength Development

Fitness is the key healthy individual. Gymnastics classes are full of activities that will make keep child fit and healthy. Moving and lifting their own body weight while practicing gymnastics helps build overall body strength. This helps the gymnast as well as the students who are also in other sports.

Flexibility

Participation in gymnastics helps the athletes become more flexible. Swimmers, Soccer players, runners and all other sportmen need more flexible athletes. Gymnastics builds overall flexibility better than any other sport which helps prevent injuries too.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coaches, especially those in the

Monday 5-7pm class, who have been nothing short of inspiring and most instrumental in the

development of Alexine's gymnastic prowess throughout her time spent at Sky Gym.

Alexine always looks forward to her sessions at Sky Gym and has shown fast improvement

since she first begun just over a year ago. More importantly, she has maintained her interest

and is constantly challenged to improve and perfect her techniques. Sky Gym coaches are good role models in imparting the skills of gymnastics within an organized structure of discipline, professional instruction and most importantly, fun. We look forward to another year of all that we appreciate at Sky Gym."

"Our three children love Sky Gym. The Sky Gym team makes each of them feel special and

proud of their accomplishments, constantly encouraging exploration and self confidence.

It is a safe environment with plenty of space and variety of equipment to explore, without

being overwhelming. The dedicated coaches have been excellent in drawing out our more

cautious child and she is now more confident in her motor skills and physical abilities.

After each session our children leave with smiles on their faces and excited to attend next week"
