A new gymnastics centre has opened in a disused city data unit.

East Anglia Gymnastics has opened its ninth gym in the region, in Whiffler Road in Mile Cross.

The company already has sites in Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Ipswich.

"We have met 200 aspiring gymnasts since opening on June 19 and look forward to seeing many more signing up," said head coach and site manager Jordan Page.

Norwich parents have already been making the most of the free taster session on offer for new gymnasts aged two and a half and older, which are available to book via the EA Gymnastics website.

The 7,000sqft facility has a sprung floor and is kitted out with some of the latest gymnastics equipment.

Jordan, who lives in Lowestoft, only became interested in gymnastics aged 16, when he started doing parkour. 

Now, he coaches aspiring gymnasts for EA Gymnastics after his interest in the sport "skyrocketed".

"Growing up, I had no interest in sports," he said.

"Now, the gymnastics facilities available are amazing, and more and more children are getting into it.

The site is currently open from Wednesday to Friday between 4.30pm to 8.30pm, and from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays, but there are plans to open more during the week once a few more coaches have joined the team.

"We're going to be open throughout the whole of the summer holidays to keep children active while away from school," said Jordan.

The gym also has free weekly 'Parent & Play' sessions for parents and toddlers to come in and use the facility.
