When it comes to gymnastics equipment and post protection pads, we know there’s a lot available on today's market.

Gymnastics Direct brings two decades of experience — tailoring equipment to be safe, reliable, and high quality.

With over 70,000 happy Australian customers, here’s why families, schools, centres, and businesses continue to trust Gymnastics Direct.

We've been doing this since 2006!

With humble origins, the Dodd family began as The Beam Shop, operating home-made beams from their home garage. For over 18 years, we have focused on what matters most; high-quality products with reliable, trustworthy, and expert customer service.

Custom solutions? No problem.

Whether you need protective matting for a specific-sized space, post padding for uniquely sized poles, or custom-coloured or logo-branded equipment to match your school or business, we specialise in made-to-order solutions. 

Our Air Tracks go the distance.

We understand the air track market is flooded — that’s why you should know what you’re buying.

Each air track manufactured by Gymnastics Direct is handmade, using 1,000 denier double-wall construction and hand-glued seams. This creates a durable, high-performance tumbling surface built to withstand serious training and impact.

Other air tracks may look similar but are often mass-produced with lower-grade materials that wear out quickly.

Our air tracks are designed to last 8–10 years. In comparison, others may start to show seam tears, punctures, and structural wear within just 2 years.

Gymnastics Direct air tracks are built to last — and our customers notice the difference.

Built for Safety, Backed by Foam.

At Gymnastics Direct, safety is designed into every product.

Our mats are rigorously tested to comply with Australian Standard AS 4422:2022, giving you peace of mind that you’re buying equipment that meets Australian safety benchmarks.

These mats are especially popular in early learning and school settings, where impact absorption is critical to injury prevention.

And not all foam is created equal — that’s why we use specific foam types for specific purposes:

• Crash mats use sponge for soft landings

• Post padding features high-density foam for maximum protection

• Skill shapes and blocks are crafted with EPE high-density foam, offering the perfect balance of firmness and flexibility.

Every product is carefully considered, because safety, performance, and durability all matter.

Honest and Transparent Shipping

We’re upfront about shipping costs because honesty and integrity matter. Our equipment is often long, heavy, and bulky, requiring specific courier services, sometimes with more than one delivery driver.

And for our smaller items? That’s a sigh of relief.

Customer Retention means a lot to us!

Many of our customers return again and again, recommending us to others. We don’t take that lightly. Customer loyalty is earned through dependable service, durable products, and real support.
