Baskerville School of Gymnastics

Baskervilles is a family-founded organisation where everyone in the family can get fit and have fun!

Baskervilles is a not-for-profit organisation with all profits reinvested back into the business for the benefit of our members.

Founded over 40 years ago by teachers Robin and Barbara Baskerville. Baskervilles employs over 60 full and part-time coaches with a wealth of experience in gymnastics. Robin and Barbara’s three children Emma, Vicky and Paul manage a team of professionals who provide a stimulating and educational environment for all ages and abilities.

As well as our hub centre on Englishcombe Lane, Baskervilles run weekly gymnastic classes in a number of locations in and around Bath. We offer fun-filled pre-school, school-aged, freestyle and adult gymnastics and fitness classes.

What People Are Saying

“The whole coaching team at Baskervilles does a fantastic job. They have a special way of keeping the boys engaged and confident! It’s made such a positive difference to our son’s experience in gymnastics.”

“Both my daughters have been regulars at Baskervilles for more than a decade. The coaching and community around the centre is 5* and my children are stronger, healthier and happier as a result. The staff are friendly and supportive with coaching pathways tailored to children’s abilities. Really great family run centre, highly recommend.”

“Ambrose has been attending Baskervilles since preschool and has thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Currently in the senior boys squad he achieved Gold on floor at the IGA National Championships recently and probably one of his proudest moments was being awarded Gymnast of the Year 2024. Throughout his journey Baskervilles has supported him and encouraged him to develop as a gymnast and gym coach. The team are fantastic role models modelling discipline and hard work, always with a smile and a laugh and I am delighted Ambrose is becoming a role model for the younger boys too.”

“My two kids, 11 and 14, have recently joined the free G classes and absolutely love it. The coaches are excellent -warm and sincere. They have progressed a great deal in just a few months. Thank you.”

I discovered Baskervilles when I started going to Parent & Toddler classes with my older daughter. I quickly saw how much joy they gave her and how lovely it was to share this special time together. I love that the kids have the freedom to choose their activities while still learning important gymnastic skills. Watching them grow physically and socially each week has been wonderful.

Their happiness inspired me to try the Adult Gym Classes myself. I had never done gymnastics before, but in just 1.5 years I’ve learned so much. The coaches put so much heart into this place and always make sure you feel comfortable and supported at any level. Paul makes every minute count, gives great feedback, and motivates you to push your limits. And Vicky’s stretching sessions are fantastic!

What surprised me the most is how much I’ve changed by being there twice a week — I’m breaking my own barriers, opening up to new social connections and I realised that this place has become the mental support I truly needed.

They genuinely care about every person, and Baskervilles brings so much happiness to so many people. Highly recommend!
