About Us

Counties Manukau Gymnastics was founded in 1973 and was formerly Manurewa Gymnastics Club Inc. and Counties Gymnastic Club Inc. The club operated from several different venues before coming together at the Gymsport & Recreation Centre (GSRC) at Bruce Pulman Park in 2000. This was the culmination of many years of fundraising and planning.

The Gymsport & Recreation Centre (“GSRC”) was purpose built for gymnastics, trampoline and related activities.  It is owned, operated and maintained by Bruce Pulman Park Trust. The GSRC employs the coaching and support staff to deliver competitive gym sports and recreational gym sports programmes to CMG members as well as other participation programmes to the community. In 2021 the name was changed to Pulman Recreation Centre.

The Club is operated by parents of current and former gymnasts as well as other voluntary supporters. A large percentage of the freestanding gymnastics equipment inside the building is owned by the Club. This equipment has been purchased by The Club through fundraising and applications for community grants.

Everyone who participates in competitive gym sports and recreational programmes at the GSRC is a member of The Club and pays an annual club membership fee in addition to their training fees to the GSRC.

Competitive gymnasts and some recreational gymnasts also pay an affiliation fee with Gymnastics New Zealand (GNZ) depending on which class they are enrolled in.
