"I believe every child should have the opportunity to get involved in gymnastics" - Beth Tweddle MBE, Total Gymnastics Director

Who are we and what do we do?

Total Gymnastics is a dedicated company and registered British Gymnastics club set up by World Champion gymnast, Beth Tweddle MBE. Our aim is to supply high quality coaches who are able to offer more club provision for young people and to develop talented performers.

 

Total Gymnastics "The Beth Tweddle Academy" launched in February 2010 in Liverpool with 2 venues and now has academies in Lincolnshire, Essex, and Nottingham. Our academies are run in school halls or in leisure centres and consist of structured sessions based on the British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards Schemes. The classes are split into age groups for the quality of teaching; age 4-6 and age 7-11 and each session is an hour long, once a week. We have no more than 20 children per class with two qualified coaches at each academy.

Beth Tweddle - Triple World Champion and Total Gymnastics Director

"Gymnastics has been my life and given me so many opportunities and I want every child to be able to experience gymnastics. Having the Total Gymnastics Beth Tweddle Academies set up in the community allows on your doorstep access for every child to have a go at my favourite sport. I hope that by setting up the academies it will inspire children to reach for their goals whether it is in gymnastics or other aspects of life, and that maybe one day a future champion can say she began her career in a Total Gymnastics Academy!"
