Club History

Created in 1991 Dolphina was based in Watford woodside leisure centre under the name of Dolphina Gym Club with only 6 gymnasts. Over the course of the clubs life it grew and changed locations to the YMCA and then back again to woodside trying to find its permanent home.

In 2013 Dolphina finally found that home when after a lot of hard work from the Management team the club was Awarded with £50,000 of national lottery funding from sports England as part of the Olympic Legacy. This allowed Dolphina to transform a local warehouse into a Gymnastics centre and has become the permanent home of Dolphina Gymnastics Centre.

In February 2014 the big move began and with it the ability to expand both the range and number of classes available.

Dolphina have classes for Pre-school, Recreational Gymnastics, competitive artistic & general gymnastics.
