Our Story
Founded in 1976, Sportac Gymnastics is one of the oldest and most respected acrobatic gymnastics clubs in the country.

Over the decades, the club has continued to evolve, combining tradition with innovation, while maintaining a strong foundation of excellence and community for all ages and abilities.
Today, Sportac is home to some of the country's most successful gymnasts and continues to build on its rich history under the leadership of Alex Uttley and Nicola Osborn — both former world-class gymnasts and part of the 2010 Britain’s Got Talent-winning group, Spelbound as Gymnast and Choreographer. Their passion, experience, and vision are helping shape the next generation of gymnasts while staying true to the values that have defined Sportac for nearly 50 years.
