Why Us?

About Gymworld

Gymworld Inc. was founded in 2002 by Mike and Ildiko Inglis, two of London’s most accomplished gymnasts. With firsthand knowledge of the benefits of gymnastics involvement, Mike and Ildiko wanted to expand children’s access to quality gymnastics instruction. They opened Gymworld as a family-friendly place for children to learn and grow as healthy and active children.

Gymworld is founded on strong family values and a commitment to inclusivity, demonstrated through partnerships with the Thames Valley Children’s Centre and an equitable accessibility and special needs policy. We are a friendly and caring place where children can reach their full potential, realize their passions, experience success and develop a lifelong love of physical activity.

At Gymworld, we aim to provide children with a safe yet exciting opportunity to participate in gymnastics activities. We believe that childhood is a period of life when invaluable foundations are laid: personality and self-esteem are fostered and physical and mental abilities are developed. Through gymnastics, children develop their strength, flexibility, balance and coordination as well as concentration, persistence, social skills and self-discipline. Our programming supports children’s healthy development and allows them to master skills at their own pace, so each gymnast can achieve success.
