About Gym Club Solutions
Built by club owners, for clubs
GCS began inside EA Gymnastics. To grow, its founders needed cheaper insurance and faster coach qualifications. So they built both, and opened them up to other clubs.
Our story
Introduction to Gym Club Solutions
Gym Club Solutions was founded when Ashleigh Moore and Benjamin Walker started scaling EA Gymnastics, a gymnastics club with 9 locations across the UK. To scale the company successfully, two major hurdles needed to be tackled:
- ✓ Finding an easier and more cost-effective way to insure the clubs, coaches and gymnasts
- ✓ Finding a faster and more effective way to train and qualify gymnastics coaches
The search for both was unsuccessful. So Ben and Ash took it upon themselves to create these services to scale and develop their clubs. Because of the success of the EA clubs, the services were made public, so other clubs can grow and scale without having to overcome the same hurdles.
