What do our trainers say about Gymnathlon?

Blanka Jerabkova

Head Coach of Baby course

„I love the feeling that through Gymnathlon I get to influence the health of hundreds of children every week. I’m a guide in their world of fun movement, and the emotions I share with them come back to me many times over.“

Frantisek Nagy

Head Coach of Baby course

„Gymnathlon is a place where I can share the joy of movement with children and help them discover their athletic potential. Every training session is unique—full of energy, fun, and new challenges. What brings me the most joy is watching the kids make progress, overcome their limits, and develop a healthy relationship with sports. Being part of their growth and seeing them move forward with a smile is a huge motivation for me.“

Kersty Fenech

Head Coach of Baby course

„I chose to coach young children because their boundless energy and enthusiasm make every session incredibly rewarding. Seeing them grow—not just physically, but also in confidence and character—gives me a deep sense of purpose. Every smile, every moment of excitement, and every small achievement is a reminder of why I love what I do. It’s a privilege to guide them on their journey, helping them develop skills, self-belief, and a love for movement. Knowing that I’m not just teaching them sports but also instilling values they’ll carry throughout life makes it even more fulfilling.“

Gymnathlon DNA

We want to make Gymnathlon the best sports program for children,
helping them develop a lifelong love for sports.

Initiative and Proactivity

A key trait that signifies personal interest in moving things forward beyond the expected outcome. It is about intrinsic motivation to act not because it is required of us, but because we ourselves see an opportunity to improve something.

Timely Execution

The world is full of people generating ideas and thoughts. But we seek those who can also execute them in a timely manner. These are the people who can build and create real change.

Passion, Energy, Enthusiasm

We want people among us who are passionate about Gymnathlon and the athletic development of children. Because those who are passionate can ignite the enthusiasm of others around them.

Quality

We constantly ask ourselves: "Did I do this task to the best of my ability, considering the circumstances?" We strive for most of our answers to be "Yes." We do not want mediocrity to become the standard.

Customer-Centric Approach

We do not run Gymnathlon for ourselves but for children and their parents, whose satisfaction takes precedence over our own needs. In every significant situation, we ask ourselves: "Is this the best solution for the satisfaction of parents and the excitement of children?"

Communication

We prefer communication that is swift and open. Problems grow when they are not communicated or addressed. We care about maintaining high-quality communication with children, parents, and within our team.
