We were delighted to welcome Alex McIntyre for Gloucester to Checkers Gymnastics last month.

During his visit, Alex met with some of our coaching team and spent time with a wide range of our gymnasts — from our recreational classes through to several of our top-level competitive gymnasts. It was a valuable opportunity to showcase the range of talent and dedication across the club, and to highlight the role grassroots sport plays in building confidence and community right here in Gloucester.

With over 40 years of coaching experience, Checkers Gymnastics remains proud to be one of the South West's leading clubs — and visits like this are a reminder of the positive impact our sport has on young people's lives, whatever their level.

We were also grateful for Alex's support in helping us look ahead to the future of the club, and we look forward to working together to help Checkers grow and provide even more children across Gloucester with access to gymnastics.

Interested in joining the Checkers family? We currently have spaces available across our Acrobatic & Tumbling programmes for all ages and abilities. Book a taster session today and see what makes our club special.

It was brilliant heading down to Checkers Gymnastics last month.

Gloucester is full of fantastic grassroots talent, and it was inspiring to see young people training hard, supporting each other and showing real dedication to their sport.

Clubs like Checkers are such an important part of our city: they give young people confidence, discipline, friendship and a place to thrive. I loved hearing from coaches about the work they’re doing and from the gymnasts themselves about their ambitions for the future.
