ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY

WHGC began its journey in September 2007 with two complimentary sessions that attracted 75 passionate gymnasts at Yarborough LC. After seizing an opportunity, the club relocated to a 5,000 sq ft industrial unit on Cardinal Close (see picture opposite) in March 2009.

Following numerous enhancements and impressive performances, the club established a strong reputation, securing victories in various County and Regional competitions, and began offering courses in partnership with British Gymnastics.

By 2014, with a thriving membership of 350 gymnasts and a substantial waiting list, WHGC moved to a new facility on Crofton Rd, boasting 10,000 sq ft. Over the next three years, with support from Sport England, Biffa, and Engage Mutual, the building was transformed into a premier gymnastics venue, complete with a pitted gym and all necessary WA and MA equipment. The reception and public areas were significantly upgraded, featuring a café, waiting area, and comprehensive tiered seating for competitions.

The club has developed many of its own coaches and conducts several coaching courses annually, currently welcoming over 800 gymnasts each week.
