All children who take part in the classes must be in full-time education, being 4 years old turning 5 years old in the educational year (September 01 – August 31). We suggest that the children attend until they are 14, then we suggest that they follow professional training with a sports leader qualification.
Payments for lessons are collected through a monthly Direct Debit payment. Once gymnasts have completed their Platinum level, they will have reached the end of their journey in Healthy Living Gymnastics Lessons and can continue their development in local clubs.
Here’s what a customer had to say about Byw’n Iach gymnastics lessons:
“I’ve never seen anyone bring her out of her shyness as fast as you. It was lovely to see her enjoy, listening and responding so well. She walked from the lesson having learnt new skills, with new confidence that will be priceless to her development. Thank you!”
