Hello & welcome to Gymnastics Fusion

Thank you for visiting the Gymnastics Fusion website.

Gymnastics, more than any other sport contains the qualities we admire most; strength, grace, courage, skill and excitement. As a child, I was captivated by the sheer agility of Nadia Comaneci and as opportunities were limited I spent many hours doing acrobatics on and over the furniture at home! As a mother, I have struggled to find local opportunities for my own children to participate in gymnastics.

My aim is to make gymnastics accessible to younger children in and around Ilkley.

Gymnastics requires high levels of flexibility and strength without which most gymnastics moves can not be achieved. All the classes have been designed to physically prepare the body for such skills. As a qualified fitness, aerobics, physical yoga and pilates instructor I will also be including these elements in sessions.

All coaches and volunteers are suitability experienced and qualified or trained to teach gymnastics. Coaches have been screened by the Criminal Records Bureau to confirm their suitability to work with children. A qualified first aider will also be present at each class.

I hope I can provide opportunities for children wishing to experience this thrilling and beautiful sport. For some it will be a stepping stone to competitive gymnastics but for most it will be a fun way to gain all round fitness, the benefits of which will last long into adulthood.

With best wishes

Josette Cornish
