FAQ

Classes:

When can I start?

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.

Are the instructors/coaches certified?

Are there changing rooms?

Our bathrooms are large may be used as changing rooms. We recommend our gymnasts come ready dressed for class.

Is the gym clean?

Yes. The public area of the facility is cleaned daily. The gym proper is "perked up" daily and sanitized multiple times a week, or more as needed.

Are parents able to stay and watch...or come into the gym?

Yes and No! We have a lobby area with viewing windows from which you can see most of your child's class. There are CCTV monitors for viewing limited visibility areas of the gym, those blocked by structural walls and supports. Unless your child is in a parent participation class, our insurance mandates that parents are NOT ALLOWED in the gym.

Do I have to stay and watch my child?

Unless your child is unable to use the toilet area by themselves, you may leave and come back when their class is ending. We cannot assist children in the toilet area per official USAG rules. If you leave the facility while your child is in class, please make sure the office has a correct cell phone number so we may contact you if needed.

Who is able to attend the Open Work Out program?

Actively registered, enrolled, and attending Epic students who are seven or older may attend OWO from 7:00-9:00 on Friday Nights (12:30-2:30 Fridays during the summer), at a cost of $20 per function or any part thereof. OWO may also be used for make up classes for general gym students (limit of 2) ...as long as they are at least seven, have missed a class, and call ahead to reserve a spot. Make up spots during OWO are limited to 12 (please call ahead to book your make-up spot)

Do I need to register in advance for Open Workout?

Registration requirements depend on how you're using the session. If you're making up a missed class, you must book at least 24 hours in advance through your parent portal. Drop-in participants can walk in during Open Workout hours without advance registration.

What ages can participate in Open Workout?

Open Workout is available for students ages 7-18. Participants practice skills independently in a supervised gym environment. Younger students should have foundational gymnastics experience to work safely without direct instruction during open gym time.

Can Open Workout count as a make-up for a missed class?

Yes, Open Workout counts as a make-up session if you book at least 24 hours in advance. This advance booking requirement ensures adequate supervision ratios and allows coaches to prepare for expected attendance. Same-day bookings don't qualify as make-ups.

What's the difference between Open Workout and regular gymnastics classes?

Regular classes follow structured lesson plans with direct coaching on specific skills. Open Workout provides supervised gym access where students practice independently without formal instruction. It works best for reinforcing skills already learned in class rather than introducing new techniques.

How often should kids attend Open Workout to see progress?

Frequency depends on current skill level and goals. Students working on competitive skills benefit from weekly open gym sessions to build repetition and muscle memory. Recreational gymnasts typically use it monthly for make-ups or when they want extra practice time.

What should my child bring to Open Workout?

Students need fitted athletic clothing without zippers or buttons that could catch on equipment. Bare feet work best for most apparatus, though grip socks are acceptable. Water bottles are essential since independent practice often involves more continuous movement than structured classes.

Can parents watch during Open Workout sessions?

Viewing policies during Open Workout match regular class observation rules. Most gyms designate specific viewing areas to maintain focus and safety. Check with the front desk about whether your location offers lobby viewing or requires drop-off during open gym times.

What equipment is available during Open Workout?

Open Workout typically includes access to floor exercise mats, balance beams, bars, and vault equipment under rotation. Foam pits and tumble tracks may have time limits when multiple students want access. Coaches supervise equipment use and enforce safety rules throughout the session.

How do I know if my child is ready for Open Workout?

Students should demonstrate ability to follow directions independently and know basic safety rules like checking landing zones before skills. They need enough experience to recognize which skills match their ability level without constant coaching. Most students gain this awareness after six months of regular classes.

What happens if Open Workout reaches capacity?

Gyms limit Open Workout attendance based on available coaches and equipment. Pre-registered students using make-up credits receive priority over walk-ins. If the session fills, drop-in participants may need to choose a different time slot or return for the next available Open Workout.
