Testimonials

Our daughter really enjoyed her first gymnastic lesson. Your club is really well run, the teaching is excellent and all the kids were having fun.

Lou has built up a wonderful club full of enthusiastic and friendly coaches. Flare is fully committed to developing each child that takes part in classes and the enjoyment of everyone is clear to see.

“My son attends Flare Gymnastics and thoroughly enjoys going. We were delighted to hear about Louise starting her own club and signed up immediately.

My son is on the spectrum and suffers with anxiety and confidence issues, together with motor tics. Any club can be quite a stressful social situation for him. Having worked with Louise and her team at another location, he was already familiar with her and some of the coaches and has settled in very well, given that fact. He has been made to feel at ease by all staff.

First of all, I was surprised at the number of coaches available at every session. This club is highly staffed and I find this helps to formulate a regular routine and structure to the class. The rotation in activities during the session, in small groups, helps my son immeasurably. The way they carry out classes is brilliant at ensuring all the children are engaged at all times.

As well as doubting himself on most of the moves, having a fear of any height, (lower beam included), my son is also bigger than the other children. This has NEVER had an impact on his inclusion throughout every session. Louise and her team ensure he takes part is EVERY activity and sequence they are doing. Not only that, they allow him the time he needs to redirect and focus himself and the chance to try again when needed.

They offer fantastic encouragement, assistance and support when he is insisting he cannot do it. When he hears “See, you CAN do it” the pure joy and sense of achievement is beautiful to see written all over his face!!

I cannot thank Louise and her team enough for their patience, and help and always ensuring my son is included, making sure he does every task, exactly as all the other children are doing, despite sometimes this being a bit of a challenge for them.

If you are considering a gymnastics class, I would most definitely recommend Louise and her team of coaches. They are amazing!!!”

My daughter started Flare Gymnastics in September, she absolutely loves it and can’t wait until Monday comes so she can go back. All the instructors are wonderful and work really well with all the children. Sophia is a shy girl and has come out of herself so much since going, she has also made some lovely friends. I would recommend Flare Gymnastics to anyone with a child that wants to start.

My son joined gym tots with Louise and her team of instructors when he was two. He really enjoyed himself and learnt lots of skills in a very safe and friendly environment.

He continued until he went to school.

When he was in Year 5 he had the opportunity to join Louise’s Trampolining sessions. He has shown great potential, being encouraged and coached by Louise. He has represented his school at the Southampton Schools Trampolining competition for 5 years and last year was selected to participate in the regional and zonal competitions.

This would have not been possible without the support and coaching from Louise. She has built up a caring working relationship with her students, enabling her to identify and improve weaknesses, pushing them to be able to do things they did not think possible.

We cannot thank her enough for her support and care, both coaching and emotionally.
