About Nova (formerly Little Stars Leotards)

Founded by Jo Esslemont in the UK in 2010, Little Stars Leotards began with a passion for designing high-quality gymnastics apparel that helps gymnasts feel confident, comfortable, and ready to achieve their goals. Today, the brand has evolved and is now known as Nova, marking an exciting new chapter for a much-loved name in gymnastics.

What began as a small family business has grown into a trusted brand, supplying leotards, apparel, and accessories to gymnastics clubs and families across the UK and around the world.

Every Nova design is created with gymnasts in mind. Combining premium fabrics with eye-catching colours, fun prints, and creative details, each leotard is made to withstand countless hours of training while allowing gymnasts to express their personality. Alongside their training leotards, Nova also offers a wide range of gymnastics apparel and accessories, making them a favourite for gymnasts both in and out of the gym.

While the name may be new, the passion, creativity, and commitment to quality that made Little Stars Leotards so loved remain at the heart of Nova. We're excited to bring this next chapter of the brand to Canadian gymnastics families.

Why We Chose Nova Gymnastics

We first discovered Nova (Little Stars Leotards at the time) while searching for exciting new leotards from the UK that weren't readily available in Canada. My daughters instantly loved the bright colours, fun designs, and unique collections that let their personalities shine, while I loved the quality, comfort, and variety that the brand offers.

I knew it was a brand I wanted to share with other Canadian gymnastics families, and we're just as excited to continue bringing these designs to Canada as Nova. It's a brand that combines everything we look for in gymnastics apparel: quality, creativity, comfort, and a little something different.
