The Gymnastics Club «Ergotelis» Heraklion Crete (Greek: Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος «O Εργοτέλης» Ηρακλείου Κρήτης, Γ.Σ.

The name of the club was inspired by that of the famous ancient Cretan expatriate Olympic runner Ergoteles of Himera.

The club runs multiple football and basketball departments for both men and women playing in both regional and domestic competitions.

All of the aforementioned clubs are run through the Ergotelis Youth Academy, consisting primarily of young athletes registered in the club's infrastructure segments, based in the privately owned Ergotelis Athletic Centre.

The club has determined for these teams to compete in various regional competitions of the Heraklion FCA football league system, passing on promotion rights in favor of internally moving players to the higher divisions on age-based criteria, as well as signing outstanding players to Ergotelis F.C.

In 2012, Ergotelis established a second women's football department, named after the parent club G.S.

After its internal promotion to senior squad, Ergotelis won back-to-back Division titles in both the Gamma [5] and Beta Ethniki,[6] third and second tiers of the Greek women's football league system, thus managing a swift return of Ergotelis Women's football back to top-flight.
