Te Puke Gymsport, under the guidance of organiser John Smith, is dedicated to fostering physical, mental, and social growth through gymnastics and movement activities.

John Smith's programme offers a diverse range of classes catering to all ages and skill levels. Designed to introduce young athletes to gymnastics, the recreational classes cover apparatus such as beams, bars, floor, air track, and mini tramps. These sessions, led by qualified coaches, ensure safe learning and gradual progress, enhancing physical attributes beneficial across various sports.

For preschoolers, John has created programmes that emphasise fundamental movement skills, aiding in the development of coordination, balance, bravery, and confidence, making it engaging for both children and their parents.

Athletes seeking a competitive edge can participate in recreational gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, and tumble classes. Training intensities range from 4 to 12 hours weekly, with opportunities to compete locally and regionally.

Te Puke Gymsport also boasts the largest Parkour club in the Bay of Plenty. John Smith’s Parkour classes incorporate running, climbing, jumping, swinging, vaulting, and rolling, developing strength, agility, and spatial awareness.

Additionally, trampoline and tumbling classes focus on mastering flips, aerial awareness, and safe landings, with students executing acrobatic sequences on the air track.

For celebrations, the facility offers Gymnastics or Parkour-themed birthday parties, featuring ample equipment and a foam pit for an active and memorable event.

The support of funders and sponsors is pivotal in enabling John Smith and Te Puke Gymsport to deliver these premium programmes to the community.
