Stuntworx: A History
Stuntworx was opened in July 2010 with our first ever summer camp in Salthill. Coaches Hilton, Jamie and Gertrude were instrumental in bringing cheer to a wider audience in Galway. As a not for profit project, the profit from the camps was reinvested and we purchased equipment and a trailer to haul it around Galway. The trailer was bigger than the little Suzuki Jimny that pulled it and the engine eventually gave way...
Soon after, we took a lease on our first premises and Stuntworx had our first home. We ran trampoline gymnastics and cheerleading classes. As part of our club mission statement we helped to establish GMIT trampoline club, NUIG (now University of Galway) Cheer society, and of course, our very own cheer team, the Galway City Cougars. This soon blossomed into one of the largest cheer gyms in the country, and when we moved to a larger premises in Doughiska in 2014, we started our recreational gymnastics program and began Galway Rebound Therapy classes for children and adults with different needs.
Our coaches had their first taste of representing Ireland when they coached the 2014 national squad Team Ireland at the 2014 Worlds. Once again, we represented Ireland in the 2015 Worlds and then our own athletes represented Stuntworx Elite at the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 World Championships, top placing 9th best team in the World. The first Irish Club to achieve this merit. In 2024 we placed 3rd in the world.
Stuntworx became leaders in the Irish cheerleading industry and soon the gymnastics program was rivaling the success of our cheer program. Instead of focusing solely on competitive gymnastics, we found children in the community just preferred to have fun and so our gymnastics program spawned and our Ninja Warrior program so that we could cater to all kinds of kids across all ages, abilities and interests. The club's policy is that enjoyment of the sport comes first, personal development is of utmost importance and the benefits of team work and discipline are among the most important tenets of life. We'd love to have you as a part of our legacy!
