Our story
The GYMNASTICS CLUB MACAU (GCM) was co-founded by head coach Nuno Fernandes and Coach Ana Conde in 2013.
The first year all sessions were held at The International School of Macau. In the second year, Nuno and Ana expanded the club by adding some more sessions at the School of the Nations and some other small venues in residential buildings.
At the same time, they also had their programme implemented with great success at the D. José da Costa Nunes Kindergarten and with the Portuguese School Parents Association.
In 2015, Gymnastics Club was able to move into a more permanent place where since then, they have introduced multiple sessions for all levels from Monday to Saturday.
GCM is committed to the development, success and promotion of the sport of gymnastics within the Macau community.
Our Club offers a comprehensive and well-organised gymnastics training sports program for children and adults of all abilities. With a step-by-step approach, we focus on gymnastics skills and technique with a balance of fun challenges and sustained progress. The safety of our participants is always our main priority.
