THE MISSION:

Precision Gymnastics is a club in Battersea and Vauxhall. We are situated in two locations: at St Marys RC Primary school, Lockington Road, SW8 4BE and also the Latchmere Leisure Centre, Burns Road, SW11 5AD. We are a grass roots club but we have had amazing successes at competitions whether it be friendly, Regional or Women’s Artistic competitions. We offer recreational gymnastics classes from Preschool throughout Advanced levels. As well as this we have 5 competitive squads: Floor and Vault (squad 4, 3 and 2) , Development squad (squad 3), mini squad (squad 5), and 4 piece Womens artistic teams (squad 1).

The facilities in our Battersea gymnastics classes at Latchmere Leisure centre have had a £25,000 cash injection into it to help our gymnasts achieve much more. Following our recent expansion in both Battersea and Vauxhall, the brand new equipment in our locations are, to name a few:
