Welcome to 2025!
We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, Twisters is back in action and so happy to see you in class again! Showgrounds returned on January 6th, Torquay and Northcote returned to classes on January 13th. A friendly reminder that at the beginning of a new year we like to provide some time for students to get acquainted with their new classmates, coaches, and new schedule. You may feel your child isn’t being challenged during this first fortnight, however please keep in mind we pull our progressions right back to ensure students have time to settle into routine, and that any new students can learn the basics and landing safety. It is important that students have an appropriate amount of time to get their bodies used to moving for gymnastics again!
Teeny Tiny Tornadoes returns this week, and welcomes Torquay!
This year we will be offering our structured baby class, Teeny Tiny Tornadoes, at all 3 locations! (Northcote, Showgrounds & Torquay). Teeny Tiny Tornadoes is suitable for babies 4 months to walking, you can check out our timetable for this program here.

– Northcote, Tuesday 28 January and Friday 31 January
– Showgrounds and Torquay, Monday 3 February
Note: Teeny Tiny Tornadoes do not run during school holidays.
Twisters Enrolment Process
We allow for one trial class, before you commit to enrolling your child with us. If you choose not to continue with enrolment, after your child has completed the trial class, you will only be charged for that one class your child participated in. To book in for a trial, click here. Confirmation will be sent to you once our office has received your request.You can also refer to our policies and procedures page at any time for some further membership and fee information.
Are your payment details up to date?
As we begin a new year and reach the beginning of a new month, we want to take a moment to remind our customers that having up-to-date payment details makes monthly payments run smoothly, and decreases the risk of you having overdue fees. Please follow our How To steps here to update your details if necessary.
Northcote parking reminder
New year, same parking requirements! Our undercroft is a drop off/pick up zone only, if you intend to stay for longer than 5-minutes we kindly ask that you find a spot for your car in one of our parallel parks, or park on Beavers Road/surrounding streets. Melbourne summer is arriving quickly, daylight savings and warmer weather provides a great opportunity to park on surrounding streets and enjoy an afternoon walk down to Twisters!During our daytime Tiny Tornadoes classes, parents are welcome to park in the undercroft car spots. We really appreciate your cooperation.

Remi is a superstar and an absolute pleasure to coach and be around!

She recently made the big transition from Tinies to Badge and Stars and is absolutely thriving and showing us all how it should be done. From being afraid of heights, to conquering the big beam, and now loving the high bar, Remi is willing to give everything a go. She really embodies our core value to ‘be curious, be brave’ by trying new skills, it has been incredible to see her confidence and trust in herself constantly grow.

Here is why Coach Lily nominated Dot…
I have nominated Dot as the Gymnast of the Month because she is always trying her best and always conquering her fears. Dot exhibits our core value “be curious and brave!”, one of her fears that Dot has achieved is walking into class all on her own without holding my hand!
Dot is amazing at perfecting each skill that comes across and always makes sure to try again if it wasn’t quite right the first time. Dot is also very good at listening and communicating with coaches what she needs. Amazing work Dot!
