What it’s like
Coached trampoline and gymnastics classes for preschoolers through to adults, plus holiday sessions on the foam pit and air track.
This isn't a bounce-around soft play, it's a proper coached gym club. Preschoolers get their own Adventurers and Fun Sessions, and from there kids move through general gymnastics, tumbling, Double Mini Trampoline and even Aerial Circus, with a Trampoline Wall session thrown in for good measure. The gym itself has around £14,000 of specialised apparatus including a Eurotramp double mini trampoline, so this is a step up from your average bounce park.
Getting in isn't as simple as turning up. School-age sessions run on a strict gymnast-to-coach ratio and there's no drop-in, so you fill in an enquiry form and wait for a space, then do a taster session first. Once your child's a member, school-age classes after 4pm and on Saturday mornings are paid by rolling monthly direct debit, while preschool and home ed sessions are paid termly. That's a commitment, not a one-off treat, though the school holidays open things up to non-members too, with multi-activity days on the foam pit and air track alongside the usual trampolining and gymnastics.
You don't have to stay once your child's a member, though you do have to walk them in and pick them up yourself if they're under 16. The open-gym policy means you can watch from the café if you want to, and siblings are expected to stay put there rather than wander the gym floor. Parking's a bit of a squeeze right outside the building, but there's plenty of room in the wider industrial park if you don't mind a short walk.
Birthday parties get an hour of exclusive gym use plus half an hour in the party room, tailored to the age group, which is a decent chunk of time for a party that isn't just cake and chaos.

Plan your visit
Do we need to book, or can we just turn up?
For school-age classes you need to enquire first and wait for a space, then do a taster session before joining properly. Preschool sessions and school holiday sessions are more flexible and can be booked as one-offs.
How much does it cost?
School-age sessions after 4pm and Saturday mornings run on a rolling monthly direct debit, paid on the 15th. Preschool and home ed classes are paid termly, and adult sessions are pay as you go.
Is it OK for a toddler?
Yes, there are dedicated preschool sessions including Adventurers and Fun Sessions, which can be booked as one-offs rather than needing full membership.
Can I watch, or do I have to leave?
There's an open-gym policy so you can sit in the café and watch. Once your child's a member you're free to leave during classes, but you must bring under 16s in and collect them yourself.
What happens in the school holidays?
Holiday sessions are open to non-members too, with dedicated trampolining and gymnastics as well as multi-activity days covering Double Mini Trampoline, Freestyle, Aerial Circus and the foam pit or air track.
Do you do birthday parties?
Parties get an hour of exclusive use of the gym plus 30 minutes in the party room, tailored to the age group.
What about parking?
There's limited parking right in front of the building, but plenty of communal parking in the industrial park nearby.
