Baskervilles Gymnastics & Fitness Centre

Fantastic experience: Great staff,have had parties here pre COVID was always a great event Paul was amazing with the party group

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend this family friendly gymnastics club enough. I am have spent most of my life as a part of this club, starting at the age of 5 as a gymnast and now, at the age of 17 I am a coach. Being a gymnast was such a fun experience and every session was different where the coaches catered it to our ability and helped us progress through gymnastics in a safe and fun way. Every single person who I have met here has been lovely and they have all influenced me to be the person I am today. Coaching here is the best job in the world, I look forward to work every single day!

Fantastic experience: Started gymnastics at Baskervilles at about 6 years old, and was put into the squad by 7. I made it into the elite squad and ended up competing in the English Championships 3 times, got into the Somerset Squad then South West Squad and represented for the South West in National Finals multiple times. I loved training and learning exciting new skills with my coaches, so much so that I wanted to begin coaching myself. I started coaching at 12 as a junior assistant, and have progressed to an assistant coach at 16 - I'm looking forward to completing my Level 1 Artistic Gymnastics course soon! I have taken the skills that I learned as a gymnast and applied them to my coaching.

Fantastic experience: I started gym at 6 (as some of my friends were sharing their fun experiences with me), and really enjoyed moving through the different badge levels. Baskervilles has a good access for different gymnast abilities and different paths to take. I moved into squad around the age of 8, after winning my first competition and worked my way up to Senior Advanced, where I am at the moment. As well as building my ability, Baskervilles has enabled me to develop important life skills, for example communication and cooperation. The coaches have supported me throughout my journey and even inspired me to become a coach myself. At the age of 10, I became a demonstrator and then learned my voice and became more confident. By the age of 13, I became a Junior Assistant, and developed further to become an assistant coach at 14. Coming to the end of my 5th year coaching, I am excited about completing my Level 1 Artistic Gymnastics course soon.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Fantastic, friendly, family run, gymnastics centre. Has a personal touch. Instructors are fun, engaging and encouraging, all are amazing at their job. My son has attended freeg classes and holiday clubs, for several years and I have even tried the adult gymnastic classes. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Started working at Baskervilles gym through work experience and since then progressed through BG qualifications. The professionalism of the staff means the quality of gymnastics is amazing.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful family-run family-friendly not-for-profit club that suits my super-Athletic son, William aged nine,as well as my sofa loving daughter, Valentina aged six! They’ve been attending regular weekly classes (Both artistic and freestyle gymnastics) and also many all-day holiday courses such as freestyle, olympic equipment, and regular progress (badge day). William particularly likes the vaults and freestyle trampettes. Whereas Valentina loves the Olympic beam. The coaches are lovely and adapt brilliantly to the children’s abilities. We are so pleased that they have been able to open again at the end of lockdown.

Fantastic experience: I signed up to zoom exercise classes with Emma during lockdown and they have been fantastic at keeping me motivated and giving me the opportunity to keep fit at home even with a toddler getting involved!

Fantastic experience: As a family we have been going Baskervilles since my children were 2. They first went to the pre school classes, run by the fabulous Pre School Coaching team and have now moved onto older classes for school aged children and my daughter attends twice weekly in their girls beginner squad. I asked my children what they would say about Baskervilles and they said 'they have nice coaches' and 'I like that they have so many things to go on'. I would add that they have created a wonderful family friendly environment. The coaching and admin teams work are all very helpful and make the children and parents feel very welcome. I also go to their adult gymnastics classes which are run by members of their senior coaching team in the evenings and lunchtimes. These popular classes are for all gymnastic abilities (from beginner) and you work at your own pace to achieve to your goals. I couldn't recommend Baskervilles more, for the whole family!

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles provides a positive and friendly environment where children can learn and develop a huge range of gymnastics and parkour skills in a purpose built environment. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and are always happy to help.

Fantastic experience: My children have attended Baskervilles Gym since they were babies, and at every age the classes have been excellent. It has allowed them to build confidence in their physical abilities and given them a great foundation for all the sports they now enjoy. The coaches are superb and it is always fun, adult gymnastics is the most fun I've ever had exercising!

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles is great family run business, i started coming to baskervilles at the age of 5 and loved doing the weekly classes! My brother and sister were also squad gymnasts at baskervilles for many years. I became a demonstrator at baskervilles when i was 10 years old, from there i have progressed into a assistant coach. I have recently completed my apprenticeship at baskervilles and i’m now employed full time. I love working at baskervilles, the coaches are so friendly and supportive and have helped me through so much, there’s such a positive environment at baskervilles and i would recommend to anyone x

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working at Baskervilles as part of such a positive, caring and dedicated team of coaches. We plan exciting and progressive sessions to suit the age, level and ability of our gymnasts. It's the best job in the world to see so many children gain confidence, learn new skills and make friends for life.

Fantastic experience: As a coach and a gymnast at this gym the professionalism of the gym is brilliant. Always thriving to be the best. It is a great company to work for and I have done for 14 years they have helped me not only with the coaching but also everyday life due to their friendliness and family like manner. As a gymnast even though I am a coach they still treat me as a customer and I get so much out of the gymnastic sessions that I have attended. All round great company :).

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I loved gymnastics classes as a kid coaches were really supportive and welcoming

Fantastic experience: What drew me to Baskervilles initially is that it is a family-run, not for profit organisation. I really valued the ethos they had. After 5 years with them now, seeing my children progress from preschool to squad level and taking part in adult gym myself, I am very happy I made the choice. Paul and his team are committed to delivering quality technical and social/emotional coaching and are constantly learning and self-evaluating to improve. The staff are excellent role models and we often say how happy we are to have them in our sons' lives. Their positive and encouraging style with the gymnasts empowers the children to own their own skills and focus. The extra effort the coaching team have put in over the lockdown periods to engage and motivate the squads - to stay together as a team, continue strength and conditioning, and have fun - has been incredible. Thank you to all.

Fantastic experience: I have visited Baskervilles gymnastics many times as part of the University of Bath cheerleading squad. We used the facilities to get our routines competition ready. They were always brilliant at accommodating us. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. I wish I could have had more coaching as I almost had my back handspring at one point! Would recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Baskerville’s is an amazing place. My daughter absolutely loves everything she does there and really feels part of something more than just a gymn class. They organise competitions for all abilities and have been amazing with both zoom sessions during lockdown and implementing safe working practice when opening up. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles is a great company, coming from a perspective of a customer and staff member. I originally started at Baskervilles as a customer taking part in adult gymnastic classes - These are great fun and have allowed me to progress and build so much confidence thanks to the staff and the facilities they offer. I even got my mum to join me who now loves the adult gymnastic sessions as much as me! The adult gymnastic sessions had such a positive atmosphere that I decided it was a place I would love to work at and I am now a staff member myself, coaching both gymnastics and cheerleading. On top of this, Baskervilles have also allowed my university cheer team Bath Spa Rapids to train in their facility weekly. This has allowed many students to try new things and stay fit and healthy. This has also helped many students who have struggled with moving away from their home and family to become part of a second family - It has had such a positive affect within the university and our members love training at Baskervilles. Baskervilles is a fantastic club with friendly, highly qualified coaches and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend them as a place to work, to hire or to attend as a customer.

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles is a family run gym offering so much for all age groups. Even through lockdown they have entertained and kept us connected by offering virtual classes. The coaches are passionate about what they do, this is reflected in their classes, so much effort is put into making it a fun and positive place to be. It's great for children to socialize and build confidence in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I really enjoy the adult exercise classes at Baskervilles. Emma is full of energy and while she inspires you to work hard, there is no pressure and you can work out at your own level. I’ve noticed a real difference in my stamina, muscle tone and happiness. The staff are all really friendly too.

Fantastic experience: My now 10 year old daughter has been attending classes at Baskervilles right through from pre-school age. Their satellite centres have provided flexibility over the years so that she has always been able to attend a weekly class. Coaches are friendly and professional but most importantly fun! My daughter loves going....it's the highlight of her week.

Fantastic experience: Throughout lockdown I have been taking the zoom fitness class with Emma. I cannot explain the benefits this class has brought to me. I feel so much more motivated and the best thing is I can do it in my own home, whilst I have the little one with me. So I can enjoy getting fit even during lock down and feeling good about myself.

Fantastic experience: My youngest daughter attended a drop-in session at Baskervilles one Saturday afternoon 9 years ago, and that started her love of gymnastics. I highly recommend Baskervilles because it is such a friendly club with great facilities. They welcome all ages (babies through to adults) and all abilities too. The fantastic Baskervilles coaches recognised my daughter’s potential early on and she progressed quickly through to the advanced level squad, training twice a week and competing twice a year. Not only did the coaches develop her strength, flexibility and gymnastics skills, their constant encouragement also gave her self-belief and the confidence to perform to the best of her abilities in competitions, and most importantly enjoy them too. As a teenager, she still benefits enormously from gymnastics at Baskervilles. The club gives her a fun way to stay fit and strong, and see friends outside of her school group. She is also volunteering at the club as part of her Duke of Edinburgh award. Thank you to everyone at Baskervilles!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Baskervilles is such a cool place- I trained here with my cheerleading team at Bath University. Paul was always really accommodating and let us hire the venue even on short notice to help get our routines ready for competitions :)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Value Baskerville’s is a great local gymnastics club with opportunities for all ages and abilities. I was able to use the facilities as part of cheerleading training with the Uni of Bath. The sprung floor is big enough to practice our routines and to learn to tumble on, including using the pit.

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles gymnastics is a great facility for our whole family. Both my children (boy and girl) attend several squad sessions each week and thoroughly enjoy it. The Men’s and Women’s team are encouraging, supportive and most importantly fun and I have seen so much progress from when they first began! Thankyou to the Mini Advanced coaches and Beginner girl coaches for sharing your love of the sport with them. Myself and my partner also attend fitness classes aswell as adult Gym during the week. I started adult gym with no gymnastics experience. The sessions are well organised with experienced coaches. Emma is a motivating fitness coach with fun and engaging sessions, even through lockdown! The yearly gala and competitions are a highlight and we look forward to taking part in more :)

Fantastic experience: The adult gym is amazing! In one session I got to have a go on trampoline, beam, bars, the bouncy floor and jump into the foam pit. The class had a wide range of people from complete beginners to people with clearly a lot of gymnastics experience but somehow they manage to make it fun for everyone! The coaches split everyone into groups and then you go around the gym trying different skills on each piece of equipment. They break the skills down so well and they have loads of matting and equipment which makes you feel really safe. If you are thinking of giving it ago I would say definitely do it!!

Fantastic experience: I started of taking part in a FreeG session on a Saturday morning at Baskervilles when I was 13, as I was looking for a fun little hobby to do on the weekend. After a few months of taking part I was then asked to try out to be a demonstrator which is the first level of becoming a gymnastics coach. I stuck with it for almost a year and throughout that time I was attending training days to aim and get promoted to higher levels of a coach. I really enjoyed these training days as I met a lot of my current mates there who I now work with. When I left secondary school I started my apprenticeship at Baskervilles which I really enjoyed as it gave me really good experience with taking more responsibility's and was a big help with introducing me into adulthood. I am now a full time coach at Baskervilles and lead my own sessions like Adult gym, FreeG, Squad and General gymnastics. Overall my experience at Baskervilles so far has been great and has taught me a lot and I can’t wait to have more great experiences in the future.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value I love doing the FreeG sessions! It has been a great place learn and improve my abilities safely. The staff are awesome and there is always a fantastic friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved coming to Baskervilles for adult gym and for our weekly uni cheerleading session while studying at University of Bath The staff are always super helpful and friendly - definitely reccomend adult gymnastics to anyone, you don't need any experience beforehand the coaches teach you everything from the ground up!

Fantastic experience: I love Baskervilles gmynastics club so much! I can't thank the coaches enough for how much they've increased my confidence as an adult gymnast. I've been attending their adult classes since well before lockdown and they're such high quality, fun and brilliant classes. The coaches are all incredible and really take the time to listen and break every element down. One of my friends sons goes to the club and they've spoke about how positive they are towards the children. They really make it a joy to be a part of and I can't wait until adult classes start again! I LOVE YOU BASKERVILLES!!!

Fantastic experience: I started gymnastics at Baskervilles at the age of 4, where I advanced through the squad. Whilst still training I progressed through Baskerville’s coaching scheme from the age of 11. Since leaving school I have progressed through the British Gymnastics apprenticeship scheme, and currently work full-time as a qualified Level-3 Women’s Artistic Coach at Baskervilles. Baskervilles has supported me through everything and has always been a friendly environment for me. Baskervilles has made me love the sport of gymnastics and provided me to gain life time memories and friends.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic facility to work and participate in gymnastics! Their adult gymnastics classes cater for every single ability and have so much variation. There are so many fun and enjoyable classes to offer for pre school, school aged and older children! :)) Would recommend to anyone xo

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gymnastics establishment I've been in. Family-run, participant oriented, and gets serious results. Couldn't be happier with my experience of all their services!

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles is a lovely family run business. All the staff are friendly, helpful, professional and welcoming - you know they care about everyone who attends. Both my children have thoroughly enjoyed attending classes at Baskervilles and it has benefitted both of them, not just for health and fitness reasons but also in confidence and social skills. I have recommended Baskervilles to lots of friends knowing that they will all feel the same way about this great gymnastics club.

Fantastic experience: My daughter attends Baskervilles originally at one of their satellite centers and now at their main gym. She loves attending and they have been brilliant with twice weekly zoom sessions during lockdown and my daughter can't wait to get back to the gym next week! Baskervilles is an amazing gym with both a very professional and caring team who make all the gymnasts feel welcome and valued!

Fantastic experience: I can't fault baskervilles its a lovely environment to be around with friendly, welcoming staff my daughter has thrived doing her gymnastics with the baskervilles coaches and looks forward to returning.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful family run gymnastics club! My son has attended for years and loves every minute of it. He originally attended at one of the satellite classes before moving to the main gym. All of the coaches are so friendly and encouraging no matter what your ability. They run amazing school holiday courses too!

Fantastic experience: I’ve done gym here since I was two and I absolutely love it. The coaches are so friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Baskervilles Gymnastics highly enough. It is a family run gym which caters for all age groups, with fantastic facilities. During the lockdown a lot of work has been done behind the scenes with staff training to enhance customer experience, as well as the transformation of the much anticipated Baby-Gym room which looks great and will provide an awesome interactive, learning, sensory environment for younger age groups. All the while Baskervilles have provided engaging, fun and rewarding Zoom classes for children and adults. All the staff at Baskervilles are professional, fun, friendly, interactive and knowledgeable. You can see they really love what they do, this shows in the lessons/classes they provide which are fun-filled, engaging, rewarding and educational at all levels. Baskervilles really is the best in the area! I recommend that everyone in the Bath and surrounding areas gives them a try and find out for yourselves.

Fantastic experience: Very patient staff all very professional and enthusiastic in their roles. Variety of classes for all ages is very good.

Fantastic experience: I started Gymnastics at Baskervilles when I was 4 and enjoyed every second of it! Since leaving Baskervilles when I was 8, I got in touch to apply for work experience. Baskervilles were very welcoming and willing to take me on. During this time I gained so much knowledge and confidence as well as my love for the sport. After my work experience at Baskervilles I volunteered as a demonstrator and continued to grow my knowledge which led to being promoted. Baskervilles kindly offered me an apprenticeship which they worked alongside and supported me throughout. During my apprenticeship I also completed several coaching qualifications. 3 years after my work experience, I am now employed full time, coaching Squads, Free G and Adult Gymnastics classes. My favourite classes to coach as well as attend is the Adult Gymnastics classes, all adults are welcome and no experience is needed. They are great fun and great exercise.

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles have been amazing for my sons confidence. He started with Free G in Keynsham and has since moved through the gymnastic classes and loves the challenge and the physicality of the apparatus. He loves the competitions although was nervous and unsure for his first, thanks to the support from his coaches he loves them and now wants them all the time! He is very much looking forward to getting back to the club after lockdown. As parents seeing the change and confidence in our boy that has come from the sport but also the support they have given to the children during this trying time I couldn't fault the club at all.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic family run gymnastics club that I have been lucky enough to be part of for 18 years. There really is something for everyone at Baskervilles. Fantastic staff who care about each and every individual who walks through the door. Everyone should get to experience something at Baskervilles :)

Fantastic experience: A special place of work where we treat everyone who walks in the door the same, from babies, toddlers and parents, boys and girls recreational, special needs all the way up to high level squad gymnasts. We cater for everyone including adult gym, family gymnastics, parkour classes and everything in-between.

Fantastic experience: Ideal soft play/ gymnastics for our family as it is in walking distance and my 2 girls love it. Always welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: The Sunday morning Soft-play sessions for toddlers are ideal for rainy days, the little ones can really burn off some energy with lots to entertain them! Helpful staff : )

Fantastic experience: The Coaches at Baskervilles are so well trained and so patient with the children. The way the club is run is so admiral and the product of hard work and passion. Ricky is particulary outstanding. I highly recommend Baskervilles to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Baskervilles is a great family run business that we use as a family. The staff are really friendly and helpful. My partner and I enjoy the circuits class on a Monday night and our little one loves the soft play sessions. I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: All four of my children attend Baskervilles and have done since before they could walk, now they walk about on their hands most of the time, as a result! Baskervilles is a family business, that welcomes your family in, so everybody can develop, grow and flourish. Through my experience I can highly recommend, no matter what the age, skill or goal.
