When are sign-ups?

You can sign up and start at any time.  The first month will be pro-rated.

What are the daily business hours for the gym?

Our daily business hours vary according to our class schedule and the facility is always open at least thirty (30) minutes prior to each day's first class time.  If in doubt, call first to ensure someone is at the facility (883-5166).  Phone messages are returned after 4pm, Monday-Thursday. 

When is tuition due & how many classes are being paid for each month?

Tuition is due the first week of your respective class; payments will be considered late if not received by the 5^th of the month and a $10.00 late fee will be applied. Any late fee not included in tuition payment will be billed. 

Students will not be allowed to participate in class if tuition is not paid by the 10^th of each month. Students who do not attend the first two (2) consecutive class weeks (and have not paid that respective month’s tuition) will be considered ‘dropped’ from the class unless prior arrangements have been made with the gym.  Please be advised that if the required 30-day written notice has not been remitted, you will be billed for that respective month's tuition. 

Tuition is due each month (even if a month contains a day which class is not being held) & is not pro-rated for planned closings. During the course of a year, the amount of class days even out to four (4) classes per month for a total of 48 paid classes.  (A chart is available at the gym if you have any questions).

Enrollment is not based on a month-to-month basis & does not guarantee a spot is automatically held for your child; tuition must be paid each month to ensure a spot is held.  (If you choose to skip a month and not pay tuition, please understand you risk your child’s spot in his/her class being filled).

Any class which fails to reach at least 50% enrollment within the first thirty (30) days (of the class being held) will be cancelled and students will be enrolled in the same type of class at a different class time or day (if applicable).  (Busy Bodies= 3 students) (Recreational Girls’ & Boys’ Classes= 4 students)

We accept cash, check or money orders for all tuition payments.  We do not accept bank debit or credit cards.

The gym operates the CLASS SCHEDULE in 'Sessions':  Session I (Jan-May), Summer Session (June & July) & Session II (Aug-Dec).  Please be advised that the class schedule COULD (and more than likely will) change each session.  This necessary change ensures that the program is always the most up-to-date & beneficial for all participants. 

What is the class make-up policy?

Make-up classes are not offered for classes missed unless classes were missed due to the gym being closed on account of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances.  The make-up class would then be held within one (1) month of the missed class. 

How do I know if the gym is closed because of inclement weather and will a missed class (on account of bad weather) be made up?

We do not follow any particular school district regarding cancellation of classes due to bad weather.  Call the office (883-5166) for a recorded message regarding the closing of the gym due to the current weather conditions.  If there is NOT a recording regarding weather conditions, the GYM IS OPEN FOR REGULAR CLASSES.  Classes which are missed due to the gym closing on account of bad weather will be made up. The make-up class will be held within one (1) month of the missed class.

Can I drop my child off or do I need to remain at the gym during his/her class time?

A parent or guardian must accompany any student in and out of the building.  Instructors cannot be responsible for students left unattended after class time and students are not permitted to loiter outside the building.  You may leave your child during his/her class time but must notify the person at the front desk that you will not be in the gym during that time (in case of an emergency).  All children in the lobby must be supervised by their parent(s) at all times.  (It is the responsibility of the parent(s), not of any staff member, to watch their children in the lobby AT ALL TIMES.  Continual disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and siblings/students/parent(s) will be asked to leave the lobby area for the entire class time).

What should I do if I think my child belongs in a different class?

If you think your child should be in a different type of class, please ask your child’s current instructor as they are most aware of your child’s abilities, skill level, etc. If you need to change to a different day or time, check with the person at the front desk to make arrangements.

How do I get my child involved in competitive gymnastics?

Communicate your interest to your child's coach so that they know your goals.  The key elements for progressing through the sport of gymnastics are:  strength, flexibility, skill and the ability to make corrections quickly.  Students generally move to the next level upon a coaches recommendation.

What can be done outside of the gym to help a gymnast excel?

Encourage strength exercises such as basic calisthenics:  push-ups, sit-ups & chin-ups.  Gymnasts also need to eat well and get plenty of water & sleep. 

Where do students put their personal items during class time?

Cubbies are located in the lobby for students to put their shoes, coats, clothes, book bags, etc., during their respective class time.  Please do not leave these items loose in the lobby.

What other activities are available?

We offer birthday parties, Open Gym, Parents’ Night Out, Clinics and Private Lessons.  Information can be found on the BIRTHDAY PARTIES and OTHER PROGRAMS pages.

How can I make a suggestion or comment?
