Located a short five-minute walk from Jurong East MRT is The Yard, Singapore’s largest and first ever urban acrobatics and gymnastics training facility. The state-of-the-art 20, 000 square feet space offers an array of acrobatic classes and activities, fitness enthusiasts can look forward to sports and activities like gymnastics, parkour, pilates, trampolining, and personal fitness conditioning.
Founded by Rosanna Trigg, a highly experienced and internationally qualified gymnastics coach, she’s been involved in the sport as a competitive gymnast and coach for more than 20 years in Singapore, the UK, and Mexico. Well-known in Singapore and Southeast Asia in the gymnastic circle, Rosanna has taken the next step in her sporting empire to launch The Yard.
Partnering up with The Yard is Art of Movement Singapore, a curriculum that uses body weight training in movement like running, climbing, jumping, as well as Pilates Guru, Theresa. Leading the Parkour programme at The Yard will be Ben Boeglin, where his team run various programmes for all ages and abilities, making full use of the centre’s dedicated Parkour gym, as well as the Olympic standard gymnastics facilities.
Given how large the space it, The Yard can accommodate over 150 people at a time, taking part in a variety of classes; it features an impressive viewing lounge, allowing viewers, parents and wannabe thrillseekers a breathtaking perspective over the training grounds.
Most notably, the space holds over 13,000 square feet of Olympic standard, customised and limited edition gymnastics apparatus including an oversized spring deck acrobatic floor, a 16m-long trampoline tumble track, two foam pits (one for the tumble track and vault; one 17m-long foam pit with training and uneven bars overhead), and two Olympic-sized trampolines.
Together with her team of qualified coaches, Rosanna and The Yard team are set to revolutionise fitness culture, raising the bar for the standards of competitive and recreational acrobatic sports in Singapore. Gymnastics has long been viewed as an elitist sport but here at The Yard, Rosanna and her team have made it fun and accessible to all ages.
The Yard is located at 10 Science Centre Road, Singapore 609079. Opening Mon-Fri 9am – 9pm, Sat 9am – 6pm. Open for private events, parties, and rentals on Sun.
