Our classes run on a rolling basis, continuing from session to session. Your child will be automatically rolled into the new session, unless you tell us you are withdrawing.
Can I start a class after the session is underway?
Joining a class after the session begins is not a problem, as long as there is a vacancy; tuition will be pro-rated relative to the starting date.
Do you offer trial classes?
Yes. We offer a risk-free trial class for students who are new to our facility. Please call the front desk (732-223-5020) to schedule a trial class for your child/children. Trial classes are scheduled for the class in which the student will be enrolled.
What do I do if the class I want to register for is full?
You can be placed on a wait list; until there is an opening available. All wait list spots are first come, first serve. Call the office for details (732-223-5020).
What if my child misses a class? Do you allow make-ups?
Yes, we allow two make-ups per 10-week session. All make-ups must be scheduled through the front office (732-223-5020). Make-ups are a privilege that we offer, however they are not a right of our customers. We will make every effort to find a make-up class, but they are subject to availability. Make up classes for vacations or pre-planned ablsences may be made up before the missed class. We DO NOT issue refunds for any missed classes. Gymnasts seven years and older may use Open Work Out time to make up missed class time. If you are unable to attend your make-up date, please notify the office to release the spot and to re-schedule the make-up. If you do not show up, and you do not inform the front desk, your make-up class will not be rescheduled.
Registration:
How do I register for a class?
Registration is available in person or online. Payment is expected at time of registration for classes, camps, and special activities. As you are registering, you will need to enroll in our AutoPay system where you will be required to enter and save a credit/debit card number allowing us to automatically charge your tuition on a session basis and your membership/registration fee when it is due.
Why do I have to pay a registration fee?
The registration fee defrays administrative costs; sales tax requred by law, and covers a portion of our liability insurance cost. This is due upon initial registation and is due again each year in September. A family discount rate is available.
Do you offer a discount for families?
YES! Discounts apply to Gymnastics, Tumbling and Karate. Additional family members enrolled in the same session deduct 15% from tuition for the 2nd student, 25% from the 3rd student, 35% from the 4th, etc.
Do you offer a multi-class discount?
YES! If a student participates in multiple classes in the same program, he/she will receive a discount on the 2nd class. Some discounted classes or special programs are not eligible. Please see our office staff for assistance.
