Six-week programme

Parent Gym is a programme made up of six two-hour sessions, with ‘missions’ to complete between sessions. Each programme has up to twenty parents and one Parent Gym coach.

The Parent Gym programme has been designed by leading psychologists, drawing on parenting research. All sessions are designed to be highly interactive and participative.

No more backchat sweetie, I'm a black belt in motherhood now
If you volunteer for a parenting class, by definition you’re not a “bad” parent, merely one who knows they could do better. Parent Gym rewards attendees every week with a raffle ticket, but the truly neglectful simply won’t show up and, if forced to attend, will take nothing in.

I really enjoyed the sessions and these changed a lot of what I did before….. I shouted, I didn’t listen to my children and there was a lot wrong in our house. My son refused to do his homework. Now I am less stressed, my son does his homework on time, my daughter plays with her brother which never happened before. I am so proud of what we have achieved and so happy.
Participant
The Parent Gym programme is presented in an accessible, positive way that is quite unlike most school-based interventions. As a result, we have a stronger parent community, in which families are confident and able to support their children’s learning and wellbeing.

"The level of change for
parenting variables and
mental well-being is
impressive"

Our programme has been developed by leading psychologists to address six parenting priorities: communication, love, managing behaviour, health, learning and handling conflict.

Parent Gym has been independently evaluated by four universities since 2010.
