Gymnastics
The University of Southampton Gymnastics Club is for students looking to improve their strength, flexibility and gymnastic technique.
Whether you are a complete novice, or a seasoned gymnast, we warmly welcome everybody looking to build and develop new skills. We currently train once a week in an Olympic-standard gymnasium and have a weekly Strength, Conditioning and Basics session.
We compete in both friendly competitions, such as Portsmouth Gymnastics Adult Competition, and more serious competitions, such as Varsity and BUCS.
Our aim is to develop skills and technique in order to keep increasing our ongoing success in competitions. Our instagram account is @uosgymnasticsclub.
