Zanis Gymnastics Academy was founded by Zani Prinsloo in 1991. The Zanis Programme was compiled by Zani herself after intense studies in Human Movement Science, as well as her Honores in Sports Psychology at the University of Pretoria. Zani compiled her programme according to international standards, combining it with years of coaching experience as well as being a gymnast herself from the age of three.
The Zanis Programme is one of the most complete and safest body development programmes for pre-schoolers. The Zanis Pre-School Classes take place during mornings up to 14:00, and pre-schoolers are transported from pre-schools to Zanis and back. Parents also have the option to bring the gymnasts themselves.
Zanis Gymnastics Academy is affiliated with the Gymnastics South Africa (GSA). The Zanis Competition Programme is based on routines compiled by GSA, and all gymnasts are registered to this National Body. These gymnasts train during afternoons from 14:00 onwards.
