Gym Ability (Inclusive Opportunities)
Adaptive Gymnastics Classes
Hamilton City Gymnastics is calling on all kids, youths and young adults with neurodiversities, physical or intellectual disabilities to come and explore the incredible world of gymnastics!
Our GymAbility classes are the perfect opportunity to learn how to swing, jump, land, and explore new movements in an exciting, encouraging and safe environment.
We offer term time classes and small group bookings. Individual sessions can also be arranged.
We can assist with funding applications for personal funding or from various support agencies.
We have daytime availability for group bookings as well as classes available:
Wednesday 2.00pm-2.45pm
AND
Sunday 9.00am-9.45am
Our participants progress at their own speed and the adaptive approach means activities can be changed to suit any age or ability depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Take all of this, add loads of fun and you have individuals that learn through exploration and play who are encouraged to be creative with their minds and bodies.
We understand that coming to us for the first time can be a huge challenge with a new environment and unfamiliar faces, skills, and space.
We offer interested individuals to come in and observe for a while, to get a sense of what is happening and to feel safe. We don’t put pressure on anybody to join in right away – sometimes it helps to come back again the following week and have another go.
Fees are charged per term
45 mins $12/per session

Adaptive Trampoline Classes (Motion Therapy)
Adaptive Trampoline/Motion Therapy provides opportunities for movement, therapeutic exercise, and recreation for people across virtually the whole spectrum of additional needs through the use of trampolines.
These classes are also suitable for neuro-diverse individuals who will benefit from smaller class sizes and the opportunity to have a support person on hand if required.
These classes are intended for anyone 5+ years old.
We are currently offering the following 45-minute classes:
Wednesday 3.45pm-4.30pm
Fees are charged per term
45 mins $12/per session
Depending on the individual's ability and needs, an individual class may be more suitable, so please get in touch to discuss Adaptive Trampoline, give us a call or send an email.
Adaptive Bookings
Over the past 2 years, we have been working with school groups from Patricia Ave School, Hamilton North School and Woodstock Conductive Education as well as our scheduled classes, working with a variety of ages and abilities. If you want to come and observe one of our classes to see how it works, just give us a call or send an email!
Daytime bookings for small groups can be taken during the Wednesday class time (numbers dependant).
Daytime bookings for larger groups will need to contact us for availability. Bookings can be one-off, for a fixed period (eg. 4-week block), recurring for a term, or multiple terms!
