Why Choose One-to-One Gymnastics Lessons for Your Child?

Private gymnastics lessons allow your child to progress at their own pace, with every session carefully adapted to their age, ability and personality.

Key benefits of one-to-one gymnastics coaching include:

• Personalised coaching and faster skill development

• Improved confidence and self-esteem

• Enhanced coordination, balance, strength and flexibility

• A safe, pressure-free environment

• Structured progression built around your child’s needs

For many families in Kensington & Chelsea, private lessons are the ideal starting point — particularly for younger children or those who need additional encouragement and reassurance.

Science-Led Gymnastics Coaching for Children

KCGA is uniquely led by Dr Stefan Kolimechkov, a British Gymnastics coach, international competitor and published sports scientist specialising in children’s physical development and long-term health.

Every private gymnastics lesson is guided by evidence-based principles, ensuring your child’s training:

• Supports healthy growth and movement development

• Builds strong foundations safely and progressively

• Encourages confidence, focus and enjoyment

• Promotes lifelong participation in sport

This rare combination of academic expertise and elite coaching experience sets KCGA apart from traditional gymnastics clubs and is highly valued by families across West London.

What Children Learn in Private Gymnastics Lessons

Private sessions focus on foundational gymnastics skills, introduced and developed safely according to your child’s age and stage of development.

Typical skills include:

• Jumps and safe landings

• Balance and body control

• Rolls, cartwheels and handstands

• Strength and flexibility exercises

• Coordination, posture and movement confidence

Advanced skills are introduced only when appropriate, with long-term development and safety always prioritised.

Session Format & Age Groups

To ensure every child benefits fully from private coaching, session structure is adapted by age:

• Children aged 5–6
  45-minute sessions tailored to attention span, energy levels and early motor development.

• Children aged 7–11
  60-minute sessions allowing for deeper skill development, strength building and structured progression.

This approach supports safe development, confidence and long-term enjoyment of gymnastics.
