City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club

What City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club does

City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee with charitable status (OSCR-regulated, Charity No. SC049482, Company No. SC548559), founded in 2006 by Edinburgh Leisure and incorporated independently at the end of 2016. The club operates from five venues across Edinburgh — Tumbles Gymnastics Centre (Westbank Street), Ainslie Park Leisure Centre, Gracemount Leisure Centre, Broughton High School, and James Gillespie's High School — and is affiliated to Scottish Gymnastics and British Gymnastics. It is managed by a Board of Directors and run by a small team of paid, British Gymnastics-qualified coaches supported by a significant volunteer base of parents and older gymnasts.

The club delivers a structured gymnastics pathway comprising three core product lines: beginner Recreational Gymnastics Classes for boys and girls aged 5+ (taught at school venues); Competitive Women's Artistic Gymnastics, an invitation-only programme with multiple performance pathways (Development, Preparation, 2 Piece, 4 Piece, Performance) training 1-20 hours per week at Tumbles Gymnastics Centre; and a Display Team (ages 10+) performing group routines at Scottish Gymfest twice yearly. Ancillary revenue includes Competition Kit (via Kukri and Little Stars online shops) and Holiday Camps open to non-members during school holidays.

Revenue is generated through subscription and per-session pricing: an annual club membership of £36, a mandatory British Gymnastics membership of £25 per participant paid directly to British Gymnastics for insurance, and termly coaching fees calculated at £6.75 per session. Customer segments are entirely consumer-side (recreational and competitive gymnasts) with no B2B contracts. Distribution is via the Joinin online booking platform for recreational classes, direct email enquiries for competitive entry and camps, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce for kit. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook and Instagram), the WordPress website, and referral through Scottish Gymnastics and British Gymnastics listings.
