A little Gym Time History!
Several years ago, a need was identified for a more flexible system for teaching gymnastics to pre-school, infant and junior school children. With the aid of a DTI grant, KPMG consultants were commissioned to conduct a market survey to exactly establish the requirements of teachers and specialists practising in this area. The KPMG report confirmed that there was a need for this type of equipment and that if properly designed, such equipment would also be relevant to those with special needs. By combining ideas and enterprise, Gym Time was born. With prototypes made the system was tested by Kate Pearson to ensure it was both appropriate to teaching needs and robust enough to withstand rigors of everyday use. The resultant product was subsequently endorsed by British Gymnastics.
What is Gym time?
Storage - all of the equipment in the Gym Time range either nests together or stacks to give the most economic use of space. Versatile– The Gym Time range can be arranged in a countless number of different configurations to suit a wide range of gymnastic activities and age groups. Safe– Unique non– slip linking method for joining the equipment together and large rubber feet means that the apparatus will not move or slide when in use. The equipment has also been designed to eliminate all finger, limb and head traps. Lightweight– The Gym Time range utilises strong light materials which make it possible for children to lift and move equipment in line with the requirements of PE in the national Curriculum Interchangeable– The whole of the Gym Time range can be used to complement traditional gymnastic equipment and the linking equipment will fasten safely to traditional trestles, well bars and climbing frames.
