The Little Gym, Chiswick is making final preparations for its official opening on Monday 3 September. Already, over 85% of its places have been allocated to local youngsters keen to learn new skills. Situated within the grounds of the University of Westminster, on Hartington Road, the new purpose-built gym will offer educational-based gym programmes, for children from 4 months to 12 years, as well as holiday camps and children's parties.
Whilst so many after-school clubs and toddler classes focus on one sport and follow a repetitive format, The Little Gym's 'themed' programme combines a variety of curriculum-based gym activities, music and games that evolve week-by-week. Under the guidance of a team of qualified instructors, and at their own individual pace, youngsters learn new skills that will enhance each stage of their motor-skills development. Activities promote co-ordination, balance, rhythm and flexibility, giving children vital skills for life and an all-round physical grounding.
Tracie Silk, Gym Director commented, 'We have an excellent team in place and are really excited about the programme - it's going to make a big difference to a lot of youngsters! And, the response we've had in recent weeks has been amazing - during September, more than 500 local children will be joining us at The Little Gym and we hope to welcome many more!'
