What your child gets

A summer that means September doesn't start from scratch

A month is enough for the body to change: flexibility, strength, clean apparatus work. While others come back to training from zero, your child walks into the new season already in shape.

A full day, covered

From 09:45 until 14:00–15:00 your child is in the gym with coaches and friends rather than at home with a tablet — and you get your working day back.

Training, not babysitting

Sessions are run by the club's working coaches — the same people who prepare gymnasts for national and international competitions. FIG-level judges, masters of sport, champions.

Groups by level

A beginner won't get lost and a competitor won't get bored. Beginners, Level Up, Advanced / Baby Elite and the competitive group train separately, each to its own programme.

More than gymnastics

Ballet and choreography, acrobatics, conditioning and flexibility, work with music, creative workshops and team games — the day is built so children never get bored of one thing.

Safe by design

Loads are set by age and level, with dedicated attention to posture and injury prevention. We build confidence, not fear of making mistakes.

Try a single day

No need to commit to a month blind. Take one day, see how your child comes out of the gym — and decide from there.

Three venues — pick the one that suits you

The core programme is the same everywhere. What differs: dates, length of day, minimum age, price — and what only that venue offers.

A dash means that block simply isn't part of that venue's programme — not that the venue is weaker. Each location has its own set of facilities and its own rhythm of the day.

Daily schedule

How the day is built

Nothing is left vague: every block is timed, with warm-up, snack breaks and recovery built in. Here is the full day at each location.

The blocks are the same for everyone, but the load inside them is not: beginners work on foundations, coordination and light apparatus exercises; advanced and competitive gymnasts work on complex connections, speed of execution and on cleaning and upgrading their current routines.

Groups

Every child in the right group

No child is dropped into a general stream. We look at age, experience and level, then place them where the work is challenging but achievable.

Beginners

First experience of gymnastics. Basic arm and foot positions, coordination, simple exercises with ball, hoop and rope, plenty of play and movement to music.

Level Up

For children who have trained before. Execution technique, flexibility, first connections, confident work to music, preparation for moving up to the advanced group.

Advanced · Baby Elite

Complex acrobatic combinations, pivots and balance elements, advanced flexibility and barre work, routine cleaning, artistry and quality of execution.

Competitive

FIG-level elements, risks, throws and catches, refining competition routines, strength conditioning and mental preparation ahead of the season.

At The Agenda there is a separate coach assessment for new students, used to determine the academic and training group for the new season. You can book it together with the camp.

Frequently asked

What parents usually ask

Does my child need gymnastics experience?
No. Every location runs a beginners group covering basic positions, coordination and simple apparatus work. Ambassador takes children from 4 years old; The Agenda and Yasmina from 3.
Can we come for just one day?
Yes. A single day is 300 AED in Dubai and 200 AED in Abu Dhabi. It's a normal way to get to know the club and see how your child feels in the gym, with no weekly commitment.
My child already competes. Won't she be bored?
The competitive group trains separately to its own programme: FIG-level elements, risks, throws and catches, strength conditioning, and cleaning and upgrading current routines. At The Agenda that is extended with recovery work and mental preparation for the season.
What do children do between training blocks?
The day alternates deliberately: after a training load comes a snack, a creative workshop or team games, then back into the gym. At The Agenda the snack breaks double as short sessions on nutrition and on the Olympic mindset.
What does the coach assessment at The Agenda involve?
It's an individual evaluation: the coach looks at flexibility, coordination, strength, technical level and overall readiness for the next stage of development, then recommends the right training group for the new season. It runs for new students and on request.
What should we bring, and how does the day work in practice?
The kit list differs by location — Ambassador, for example, needs swimwear and pool kit. For the exact list, questions about food and any other practical detail, ask us when booking on WhatsApp: +971 54 788 19 29.
Who runs the sessions?
GYMNASTIKA club coaches — FIG-category coaches and judges, masters of sport, national and European champions. The club has operated in the UAE since 2020, runs six locations across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and has hosted the international GYMNASTIKA Solo Cup since 2022. The full camp line-up is at gymnastikauae.com/coaching-summercamp.
