Anima Gymnastics Club

Husband-and-wife duo Lorenzo and Julienne founded Anima Gymnastics in 2018, starting in a school gym in Enfield.
The club was created to deliver high-quality recreational gymnastics to the local community and has since grown into a well-established gymnastics club in Barnet.

Since 2022, Anima Gymnastics Club has operated from its own purpose-built facility in Barnet, offering a vibrant and inclusive space for individuals to discover the physically exciting sport of gymnastics.

Today, the club operates seven days a week, providing a variety of classes suitable for all genders, age groups and abilities.
As a result, with over 500 active members, the club continues to grow across North London and Hertfordshire areas.

Our purpose-built facility offers a welcoming space for Barnet families looking for expert coaching and inclusive gymnastics classes.

Additionally, an optional circle time at the beginning and end offers a fun warm-up and cool-down for those who wish to join

Toddlers Advanced: (2yrs 6mths – 3yrs 6mths)
Ideal for little ones ready to follow simple instructions, this structured class—with parent support—introduces more focused activities in a nurturing setting.

Perfect for confident children able to participate independently, this fully structured class builds listening skills, coordination and early gymnastics techniques.

Recreational Gymnastics (Reception – School Year 11)

Our recreational gymnastics programme is designed to help children build strength, coordination, and confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
To ensure appropriate challenge, classes are grouped by School age and ability.

Reception
A fun and active introduction to gymnastics for children in Reception year. These classes focus on basic skills such as jumping, balancing, rolling and safe landings, all delivered through engaging activities and games that encourage movement and confidence.

Beginners: (School Year 1 – School Year 6)
Ideal for children new to gymnastics or with limited experience. This class teaches foundational skills such as forward rolls, cartwheels, handstands and basic apparatus use, laying the groundwork for safe and progressive skill development.

Novice: (School Year 1 – School Year 4)
Designed for gymnasts who have mastered beginner-level skills and are ready for more technical challenges.
To join this class, specific skill requirements must be met, with a focus on refining movement quality and introducing more advanced elements across various apparatus.

Novice | Intermediate | Advanced: (School Year 4 – School Year 11)
This class is designed for older children who are working within the Novice, Intermediate or Advanced levels.
Gymnasts will warm up together then be split according to their ability for their session, ensuring they are challenged appropriately and supported at the right level.
This allows older gymnasts of different stages to progress at their own pace while still enjoying the benefits of training alongside peers their age.
