Elite Gymnastics Academy

Kiambu Road, Nairobi Term-time classes, ages 3–18

Elite Gymnastics Academy on Kiambu Road runs one of Nairobi's largest dedicated gymnastics facilities, with programmes spanning preschool classes focused on balance and body awareness right through to training for older, more advanced gymnasts. Classes are structured by age and level rather than drop-in, so children progress through a real curriculum rather than a single visit.

Good to know: Preschool classes (ages 3–4) focus on basic motor skills and confidence rather than formal gymnastics — a gentle entry point.

How to join

  1. 1Open the Elite Gymnastics Academy site and find the class that matches age and level. Sessions are by curriculum, not drop-in.
  2. 2Ages 3–4 go into preschool classes built around balance, motor skills and confidence — not competitive routines. Say that at booking if they are new.
  3. 3Older children are placed by level, up toward competitive training, in the Kiambu Road gym (a large dedicated facility).
  4. 4Enrol for the term. Confirm the class day, pickup time and whether they want a trial class before you pay.
  5. 5Arrive in fitted sports kit or a leotard, hair tied back, water bottle in hand. Wait in the parent area unless they invite you onto the floor.
  6. 6First weeks are placement. Do not expect a medal-track session on day one if they have never tumbled.

Parent questions

Is this a birthday-party gym we can book for an afternoon?
It is a term-time gymnastics school. Children progress through a curriculum. Ask them about a trial class rather than turning up for open play.
What do three-year-olds actually do?
Preschool classes focus on basic motor skills and confidence, not formal competitive gymnastics.

Hours, tickets and activity rules change. Confirm the current details on the official site or at the gate before you travel.
