Our Ethos

While we specialise in acrobatic gymnastics, our focus extends beyond sport. We aim to develop confident, resilient young people within a positive, disciplined and inclusive environment.
Harefield Gymnastics has a long-standing record of success at regional, national, European and World level, producing champions and medallists across multiple competitive stages.
At the heart of the club is a strong sense of community. Unity, trust, friendship and support run throughout every group, forming the foundation of our culture and coaching environment.
We provide a clear progression pathway within acrobatic gymnastics, from recreational and development classes through to squad and elite training. Gymnasts also take part in development badges, club events and displays, alongside local, regional, national and international competitions.
