History

A Brief History 

City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club was originally established by Edinburgh Leisure in 2006 to provide a development opportunities in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics beyond recreational gymnastics for those who have the ability to progress to a higher level.  

In September 2009 the club separated from Edinburgh Leisure and became an independently constituted voluntary club. A voluntary committee of parents was elected to support the head coaches in the day to day running of the club.

In January 2010 the club expanded and established its own recreational classes, and a display section to provide opportunities for gymnasts who want to participate in the sport without the pressure and the time commitment required for competition.

In late 2013, the club moved its competitive gymnasts to Tumbles Gymnastics Centre, a purposed built gymnastics facility owned and operated by Edinburgh Leisure. The club also use various other facilities in the city. 

To reflect the club’s success and growth, and to support future plans, the club became a company limited by guarantee at the end of 2016. The club still maintains a democratic constitution and not-for-profit club ethos.
