Arklow Gymnastics  Club has been training gymnasts for the past 40 years, starting under the umbrella of Arklow Community Games and then as a dedicated gymnastics club since 1998.

In 2012, we moved from our training base in St Mary’s College to our current location in the Knockenrahan Industrial Estate, Arklow.  Being a dedicated gymnastics centre, we have been able to increase our classes, introducing more children to the wonderful sport of gymnastics.

At our magnificent training facility we offer a wide variety of gymnastics disciplines to children from 4 years of age up to our senior members, in their 20s.

Our main disciple is Acrobatic Gymnastics. Acrobatic Gymnastics (previously called Sport Acrobatics and nicknamed “Acro“) is a competitive gymnastic discipline where partnerships of gymnasts work together and perform routines consisting of acrobatic moves, dance and tumbling, set to music. There are three types of routines; a ‘balance’ routine where the focus is on strength, poise and flexibility; a ‘dynamic’ routine which includes throws, somersaults and catches, and  a ‘combined’ routine which includes elements from both balance and dynamic.
