GRID Braehead is set to strengthen its family-friendly offer this summer with the arrival of The Gymnastics Academy, which will open its first Scottish location at the leading entertainment destination.
The specialist gymnastics provider will take a new 4,000 sq. ft unit at the scheme, bringing parent and toddler gymnastics and ballet classes to the local community. With a maximum ratio of five children to one coach, The Gymnastics Academy focuses on small-group instruction designed to build confidence, skills and a lifelong enjoyment of movement.

The opening forms part of GRID Braehead’s wider strategy to broaden its occupier mix with experience-led brands that complement its existing leisure and dining line-up. The destination already includes Paradise Island Adventure Golf, Climbzone, Laser Station, Fun Station, Gravity, tenpin, IMAX Odeon, TGI Fridays, Five Guys and Nando’s.
Bruce Harley, Centre Manager at GRID Braehead, said: “We’re delighted to be selected as the first location for The Gymnastics Academy in Scotland. This addition strengthens our family-focused proposition and supports our strategy to deliver a well-balanced, experience-led offer that drives both footfall and repeat visitation from across the catchment.”
Lauren Burke, Head of Service at The Gymnastics Academy, added: “Launching our first Scottish site at GRID Braehead marks a significant milestone for the business. We prioritise high-footfall, family-focused destinations, and Braehead’s strong mix of complementary operators creates a true one-stop environment for families. This location supports our long-term growth ambitions, and we’re excited to build a strong presence within the scheme and the local community.”
