Our Approach

Here at Salto our approach is: 

  • To facilitate the opportunity for all ages and abilities to train with high quality coaching in a fun and safe environment
  • To develop gymnasts emotionally, physiologically and technically at both recreational and competitive levels and to maintain the standard of quality programs that promote equality.

We operate on a not-for-profit basis under a charity constitution. This means that funds received are used entirely for the benefit of the club and its members. We deliver our training to children and young people in furtherance of our charitable objects.

  • Our Impact

    Our Impact

    We believe that gymnastics can improve health and well-being for all and brings families together which enhances community cohesion. We believe that gymnasts learn valuable life skills in addition to their gymnastics skills.

  • Bringing the Vision into Reality

    We were determined to achieve our aim to have a purpose built facility and the hunt was on for a site. In the meantime our fund raising began in earnest. In a bold step the Board of Trustees made a monumental decision to borrow almost £1 million to buy and convert the huge warehouse and in November 2004 we eventually moved to the SALTO Centre. This was a warehouse devoid of any internal structure, apart from an office and one toilet.

  • How did we get here

    SALTO was born in 1995 when we also established the UK Registered Charity and was officially launched the name SALTO (Stopsley and Luton Town Olympic) Gymnastics Club, with 'SALTO also being a gymnastic term for 'somersault', was chosen. Stopsley Gym Club (SGC) and Luton Gym Club (LGC) - not to be confused with the current Luton Gymnastics Club. Both of those clubs formed in the early 70's, training at Stopsley High School and Luton Youth Club respectively.

  • Where we are today

    The SALTO Centre is home to Salto Gymnastics Club. It is a fantastic gymnastics and leisure facility that is host to a range of activities for all ages and abilities and is open 7 days
