"Don't be frightened to try new things," is the message that Mid Island Gymsports wants to send out to the public.
The club is throwing open its doors to the public tonight to let people have a go at any of the equipment and is encouraging kids, teenagers, and especially adults to get out of their comfort zone at its Family Fun Night.
"It will be really cool to see the parents participate in the activities. Kids love seeing their parents try to do a forward roll, and it's good for the kids to see that parents can't always do everything," said organiser Lynette Farkash. As well as having fun, "it's a chance for them to role model, trying to give it a go even if you fail".
All of the gym equipment is available for use, and help will be on-hand for people who need tips on technique. Whether you want to perfect your cartwheel or bounce metres into the air on one of the Olympic-size trampolines, there are many activities to try.
Balance beams, high bars, uneven bars, and the gymnastics floor are all available for use.
