Amy Perkins, owner

A former circus acrobat, Amy has a wealth of knowledge in gymnastics and loves to explore the link between motor skill development, academic learning and life skills in children. Amy has worked with many of the UK gyms throughout 20 years in The Little Gym network. In December 2019 Amy took ownership of The Little Gym in Harpenden, just three months before the pandemic hit. For the next two years Amy fought to keep the business afloat, teaching on zoom, built a YouTube channel with over 200,000 subscribers, took the gym outside to be able to open for summer camps and more. Amy went from strength to strength and reopened with opened double the membership she purchased the gym with. Ready for the next step, Amy took ownership of The Little Gym Hampton and Teddington in January 2024, delighted to be running the gym in her home town. Most recently, in January 2025, Amy has taken ownership of The Little Gym Camberley and is excited to see the three gyms working together to reach as many families as possible. Amy also works as the Director of the Curriculum for The Little Gym of Europe, bringing her passion for child development into the programme we teach. Amy has two children and loves to spend time socialising, travelling and exploring as a family.

Kim

Gym Director

Meet Kim! Kim is our Gym Director, leading the team and sharing her wealth of knowledge in both gymnastics skills and child development. Kim has a degree in Physiotherapy from Brunel University which gives her a fantastic understanding of human anatomy, movement and coordination to share with our teachers, parents and children alike. As a mother of two, Kim knows the benefits The Little Gym offers and loves to see the progress that can be made in our warm and nurturing, non-competitive approach, a contrast to the competitive environment she trained in as a child. Kim has been working for The Little Gym Camberley for 10 years and has recently taken the next step in her career to become a partner with our new owner Amy. Fun fact- Teacher Kim was once on the X Factor final as a backing dancer/cheerleader and has competed internationally in the Cheerleading World Championships twice, coming 5th in the world!
