Words from our guests
★★★★★
“Could not recommend all of MLA's events more highly - the coaching is always amazing and every different coach they've brought in has been immensely encouraging, generous with their time and knowledge (outside/after session too!) and provided me with amazing technical pointers and advice.”
Emma P.
★★★★★
“I have taken so much away with me after the Gymnastics Workshop and Comp Camp, learning so many new skills with supportive people around and making new friends along the way! Perfect for anyone who wants to increase their fitness skills and meet like minded people”
Amanda B.
★★★★★
“I’ve attended a couple of MLA’s courses and can hands down say they are second to none. I’ve had the pleasure of being coached by some top coaches and have taken away some truly invaluable information that I couldn’t put a price on.”
