Gym Kids is becoming Xpressions Gymnastics
Gym Kids and Gym Zone is growing up. Well, a little anyway.
Originally established over 15 years ago, Gym Kids has grown into a trusted part of the community, providing quality gymnastics training and experiences for children of all abilities. It's a fantastic foundation that we intend to consolidate and build on in the years to come.
Our new name is Xpressions Gymnastics, and with this change, you will see a number of improvements to both our facilities and our offering:
- Our Hobsonville gymnastics centre, cafe and party room are all getting a bright new facelift.
- We have significantly tidied up and reorganised our equipment to create more space for floor, beams and bar activities.
- New ropes will be arriving soon to replace our existing ones that are unusable.
- We have restructured our class schedules and consolidated locations to enable us to deliver a better, more consistent level of quality gymnastics coaching, not just from our home in Hobsonville, but from our other locations too, in Kumeu and Freemans Bay.
- We have an all new mobile app, website and booking system in development, which is designed to make it easier and more efficient for both parents and staff to manage bookings and interactions with us.
Xpressions Gymnastics: A new name, a new direction and a new mission
At the heart of Xpressions Gymnastics is a belief in the power of movement to inspire confidence, creativity, and resilience in every child. We're on a mission to nurture a generation of young New Zealanders in a fun, supportive environment with a love of expressing themselves through movement.
As we evolve our physical and digital spaces over Term 2 in 2025, we will also continue refining our offering with new classes and internationally recognised learning programmes.
Our values: Encouragement, enrichment, enjoyment
We are committed to encouragement, enrichment, and enjoyment - the pillars of positive gymnastics that help children thrive. Our programmes focus on building resilience, sparking creativity, and supporting personal growth, ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, feels included, challenged and celebrated.
A Unique Opportunity: Gymnastics plus Dance
Owner and director, Tina Maclean, has years of experience in professional dance and business leadership. As well as Xpressions Gymnastics, she also owns a well-established dance school in East Auckland - Xpressions Dance - and sees a brilliant opportunity for shared learning and knowledge. Combined, we have the privilege of inspiring almost 800 children (and adults!) across West and East Auckland in our programmes and classes, with staff and leadership taking huge pride in delivering high-quality teaching that balances skill development with fun.
In time, we intend to evolve our offering by combining the complementary disciplines of gymnastics and dance, providing a foundation for growth through movement, helping children develop self-belief, strength, coordination, creativity, as well as all-around fitness.
