ABOUT US

Welcome to Harbourside Gymnastics Academy owned by Claire and Mark Smoker. We have been involved in the world of gymnastics for many years since our daughter started gymnastics when she was 6 years old. For several years Claire coached at the gymnastic clubs Frances attended and about 12 years ago we opened a gymnastic equipment company Gym Factor Ltd manufacturing and supplying quality products world wide. We have learnt so much over the years from all the clubs we have exhibited at and worked with that we thought it was time to open a facility locally and put all our knowledge and experience to good use. We recently teamed up with Independent Gymnastics Affiliation and have a strong working relationship with them so it was only natural that our new facility will be proud to run under the UK Gymnastics governing body. We aim to offer a safe, fun and educational facility for all ages and abilities in a variety of activities.
