Elena's Rhythmic Gymnastics Club stands out as being a welcoming and high-calibre club in Edmonton, AB since 1995. We are very proud of the variety and high standard of our rhythmic gymnastics programs and the caliber of our coaches.

To start, Elena's RGC has outstanding recreational programs for all ages, with gymnasts ages 4 to adult. All our recreational programs offer weekly instruction in the basics of rhythmic gymnastics, developing strength, flexibility, musicality, acrobatics and ballet while having fun with ribbons, balls, hoops and ropes. Our class sizes are limited to ensure quality and individual attention. Furthermore, we use the PRISM Program, which allows non-competitive gymnasts to work towards attaining badges for various skill levels in rhythmic gymnastics.

The club also has a strong competitive program which excels with interclub, provincial and western regional stream athletes.  Our gymnasts earn top placements at competitions including over 20 titles of "Alberta Provincial Champion" and "Western Regional Champion" in Canada.

Finally, ERGC’s rewarding performing stream offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences, being part of Team Canada for the 2011, 2015 and soon to be 2019 World Gymnaestradas in Switzerland, Finland and Austria respectively! These are the largest athletic events in the world with over 20,000 athletes coming together from around the globe.

ERGC's excellent and experienced NCCP-certified coaching team has established us as one of the longest running and most successful clubs in Edmonton. Our coaches constantly engage in learning opportunities to ensure the very best for our gymnasts and deliver our club motto: “Fitness, Friends & Fun”.

ERGC is a non-profit society whose affairs are directed by an elected executive. We are affiliated with both Rhythmic Gymnastics Alberta and Gymnastics Canada.

As a member of Russia’s National Team, she successfully competed at regional, national and international competitions, winning gold and silver medals.

I was born and raised in Russia and moved to Edmonton in 2012. When I lived in Russia, I did competitive rhythmic gymnastics for 12 years and achieved the “Candidate Master of Sports” title. I competed mostly in the country and traveled to a lot of Russian cities for competitions. In 2003, I, along other gymnasts in my club, won a Gran Prix competition dedicated to Alina Kabaeva, with our group routine. 

Coaching helped me fall back in love with the sport and made me realize why I loved the sport so much, and I am excited to bring my experience and knowledge to the club and coach alongside amazing coaches.
