Important Update: Gymnastics Class Fees & Structure from 1st August 2026

​

From 1st August 2026, there will be a 3% increase to our activities across the centre. This will be reflected in the invoice you receive in July for your August fees.

 

Like many organisations across the UK, we continue to face rising costs across utilities, staffing, insurance, maintenance, compliance, equipment, and wider economic pressures. Across the leisure sector, increases of around 5–10% have been common in 2026, so we have worked hard to keep our increase to the bare minimum and absorb a portion of these rising costs ourselves.

 

As a not-for-profit community organisation, this decision has not been taken lightly. We understand any increase can be challenging for families, which is why we have limited the change to 3% and will be fixing our class prices for the next 12 months, with no further lesson fee increases during this period.

 

We also want to reassure families that fees are reinvested directly back into Europa. This includes continued investment in our facilities, new equipment to support all areas of gymnastics, (including our SEN, Fitness, Free Running and new Baby & Toddler sessions), technology, and improvements to the overall member experience. Recent and upcoming improvements include our upgrade to superfast broadband, energy-efficient LED lighting, and new dedicated toilet facilities off the main gym, meaning children will no longer need to cross the main hallway during class.

 

We are also proud to invest in young people through our Leadership Academy, coaching pathways, and employment opportunities across the Centre. Wherever possible, we aim to pay young people based on their working skills, responsibilities, and contribution - not simply the minimum wage rate linked to their age.

 

We also wanted to provide reassurance that our Annual Family Membership fee will remain unchanged for 2027, helping to balance these changes where possible. We are also continuing to work on improving the benefits members receive as part of their membership.

 

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Your support allows us to keep investing back into our facilities, programmes, staff, young people, and community, ensuring Europa remains a safe, positive, and high-quality place for children to learn, grow, and enjoy gymnastics.

Preparing for roll-up - change to mixed classes
Please note, from August, our Recreational classes will run as mixed boys and girls sessions. At this age and stage, children follow the same core gymnastics programme, developing balance, coordination, strength, confidence and movement skills. This approach also helps us offer more class options, make better use of available spaces, and create an inclusive environment where children can learn and progress together.
