Gymnastics

Student Club

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an elite gymnast, our club is the perfect place to learn, train and compete while making lifelong friends along the way. Gymnastics is a dynamic and rewarding sport that blends strength, flexibility, balance and coordination across a variety of apparatus.

We welcome gymnasts of all experience levels and offer structured training sessions at beginner, intermediate, advanced (+) and FIG levels. Whether you’re striving to compete or just want to stay active and learn new skills, our range of memberships are designed to support your goals. No matter your path, you’ll find expert coaching, great facilities and a supportive community to help you thrive.

For non-competitive members, we provide a fun and encouraging environment focused on skill development, building confidence and personal growth. You can progress at your own pace, improve strength and coordination and enjoy being part of a welcoming team. With regular socials and club events, there’s more to enjoy than just training.

For gymnasts looking to compete, we’re proud to provide four BUCS teams, giving members the opportunity to represent the university at national level. We also compete in the University Gymnastics Cup (UGC). These competitions occur throughout the year, offering gymnasts of all levels the chance to perform, progress and collect UGC points to help us win the UGC Cup at the end of the competitive season.

We train off-campus at the Gillett Centre (Gillett Centre, Selly Oak Campus, 1022 Bristol Road, Birmingham, B29 6LG), easily accessible via multiple bus routes or a short walk through Selly Oak. The gymnasium includes all MAG and WAG apparatus.

Join us to challenge yourself, build your skills and become part of a fun, inclusive and passionate gymnastics community!
