Karpenko Gymnastics Academy

What Karpenko Gymnastics Academy does

Karpenko Gymnastics Academy (KGA) is a private gymnastics training academy founded in 2015 and headquartered in Singapore, operating four physical locations — three across Singapore (Serangoon, Orchard, Katong) and one in Phuket, Thailand — under founder Victoria Karpenko, a Twice Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics National Champion and Master of Sport International Class. The academy employs 16 staff, of which approximately 15 are coaches, including former national team members from Russia, Malaysia, and Singapore with credentials spanning SEA Games medals, World Championships representation, and Olympic qualification preparation.

KGA's product suite spans Basic Gymnastics (ages 3-4), Rhythmic Gymnastics, General Gymnastics, Holiday Programs, Mommie & Me (ages 2-3), Adult Classes, Private Classes (1:1, 1:2, 1:3), and a Competitive Team pathway targeting SEA Games through Olympic qualification. The underlying technical layer consists of a proprietary KGA mobile application used for class booking, payment processing via debit/credit cards, and digital attendance records. Coaching is delivered in a Russian-style methodology emphasizing discipline and structure, supported by a roster that includes former members of the Russian, Malaysian, and Singapore national teams.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with revenue generated through subscription-style recurring class packages, private coaching sessions, and trial classes priced at $50 SGD in Singapore and THB 900 in Phuket that function as the primary customer acquisition mechanism. Customer segments span toddlers through adults, with the primary base being families with children. Marketing is conducted through the company's website, the mobile app, WhatsApp direct contact per location, and email newsletters, with no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or parent company structure.
