RAW Kids Gymnastics HQ

Things that have become gymnastics apparatus in your house since your child started at RAW:

The sofa. The arm of the sofa. The back of the sofa. The stairs, obviously. That one bit of hallway with the good carpet. The dog. You. Specifically, your outstretched arms, at 7am, before coffee... We know! raising a gymnast is fun!

Schools are starting back and now if the perfect time to try RAW.

Small classes mean a hard limit on numbers, and the teatime and Saturday morning slots almost always fill first.

Classes run from the day your child starts walking to age 8:
Wrigglers (walking–3.5) · Rollers (3.5–4.5) · Foundation (4.5–8)

Every child starts at Level 1 of our RAW Rewards programme and moves up at their own pace — no leaderboards, no competitions, nobody being compared to anyone else. Over 3,000 children have come through it so far.

RAW t-shirts, hoodies and shorts are all available through our club shop; comfortable enough to actually train in, which was the whole brief.

Order here: https://www.totalgymnasticsdirect.com/club-shops/raw-kids-gymnastics/gymnasts

Worth ordering before the September rush if you want it for the first week back.

The question we get asked more than any other: which class should my child in?

Here's the whole thing in thirty seconds.

RAW WRIGGLERS: from the day they start walking to 3.5 years. You're in the room with them. Action songs, parachute play, sensory fun.

RAW ROLLERS: 3.5 to 4.5 years. Their first solo class, no parents in the room. They build at their own pace, and it's usually the class where you notice the confidence shift.

RAW FOUNDATION: 4.5 to 8 years. Proper gymnastics fundamentals: circuits, strength, balance, coordination, flexibility. Structured, coached, and still fun.

Not sure which side of a cut-off your child falls? Just ask us in the comments and we'll tell you straight.

September classes are filling at RAW Kids Gymnastics

Not a sales line; just how it works when you cap class sizes. Every RAW class is deliberately small so no child is queueing for equipment or getting lost at the back, and that means there are only so many places per session.

If you've been thinking about it for a while, this is the fortnight to sort it. Autumn term spaces are going now, and the popular slots (weekday teatime, Saturday morning) always go first.

Classes run from the day your child starts walking right up to age 8.

🦁 Big news from me — Frenchi here!
I’m SO excited to finally share this... RAW Kids Gymnastics is launching at FITTER (Ainsworth Road, Radcliffe) end of September!
A little personal story behind this one 💛
My own daughter is 8 now, and watching her grow through gymnastics and fitness over the years has honestly been one of the best things I’ve witnessed as a parent — her confidence, her strength, the way she carries herself. It’s given her so much more than just physical skills.
So when we moved into our bigger, better space here at FITTER, I couldn’t wait to bring that same RAW expertise to kids right here in our community.
RAW Kids Gymnastics runs classes for every stage:
🔴 Wrigglers — 18 months to 3.5 years (parent & child)
🟠 Rollers — 3.5 to 4.5 years (their first steps into independence)
🟣 Foundation — 4.5 to 8 years (structured gymnastics fundamentals)
Whether your little one is taking their very first wobbly steps or already loves to move, there’s a class built exactly for them — small groups, brilliant coaches, and a whole lot of confidence built along the way.
Doors open end of September — I’ll be sharing more very soon, but wanted you lovely mums to be the first to know 🦁💛
Drop a comment if you’d like to be first in line when trial spots open — I’d love to see your little ones there!

Exciting Day for RAW Kids Gymnastics Kinning Park as they open their doors to new gymnasts!!

Your little one can scale the entire bookshelf in 4 seconds but cannot locate shoes placed directly in front of them.

The climbing ability is olympic. The shoe finding ability is non existent. Both happen within the same minute.

Put that climbing talent somewhere safe and supervised, book here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations

You said one mild swear word in 2021 and your child has been saving it for the worst possible moment ever since.

Grandma's house. A quiet shop. The school gate. They've been waiting, patiently, like a tiny comedic sniper.

Give them better things to repeat in public, book a trial here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations

Your child will tell a complete stranger they love them and tell you that you're "not their best friend anymore".

The betrayal arrives daily, usually before breakfast. You made their entire dinner. You are nothing to them. The man at the till is everything.

Win back a bit of favour with a class they'll adore, book here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations
