Historical information

Kip's Gym was started by Rod and Julie Sinclair, who were former gymnasts and taught Maths at Kelmscott Senior High School. From there, it was moved to an industrial unit along Champion Drive opposite the shopping centre.

Fiona Clay competed in gymnastics until the age of 14 or 15. She competed at state level then moved on to sports aerobics and came second at a national event in 1985.
