What do our trainers say about Gymnathlon?
Stefania Scicluna
"As a Gymnathlon coach, what matters most to me is seeing children excited for each session and truly enjoying sports with us. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness their progress—not just in their physical abilities, but also in how they grow socially—from their first session to the last. I take great pride in knowing that many children continue with me through different age groups over the years, and it’s even more special when their younger siblings eventually join as well."
John Dimech
“What I appreciate most about Gymnathlon is its professional approach and structured way of management, where everything follows a clear order and quality is always a priority. Being part of a team that is united by the goal of bringing joy to children through sports and instilling values like fair play is truly rewarding. Every training session is a well-organized experience, not only for the kids but also for the coaches. I love seeing how children progress, build friendships, and develop a lifelong positive relationship with sports.”
Kersty Fenech
"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."
Neville Mercieca
"Coaching at Gymnathlon has given me a wealth of diverse experiences. Working with children can sometimes be challenging, but thanks to the well-prepared methodology, system, and support, I can prepare for sessions to deliver the best possible experience for the kids. On a personal level, it’s deeply fulfilling to bring joy to children through sports and to nurture the potential of a future little Olympian. These aspects and more have helped me grow as a coach and advance my personal development."
