FAQs | Wendy's Gymnastics

ARE YOU OPEN AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE?

Please be assured that safety has always been, and will always be our top priority. We reopened on Monday, June 29th. We have developed the safest protocols possible. We will continue to have our facility professionally cleaned every night, as well as disinfecting and sanitizing every mat and equipment in between classes. All adults including instructors are required to wear masks. You will enter through the blue gym and exit through the red gym, as well as sanitize your hands upon entry and exit. Please be sure to make yourself familiar with all of our new policies and procedures, so we can safely continue to be operational.

WHAT'S THE FEE STRUCTURE?

We've made lots of improvements in this area to make things more simple and convenient for you! The annual, family membership fee of $40, if due, is charged at the time of enrollment. For weekly classes, on the 1st of each month (or the next business day) your credit card on file will be charged that months tuition. We hold your spot for as long as you like! If you decide to un-enroll, please just let us know by the end of the month to avoid a charge for the following months tuition. For our daily drop-in type activities, you will be charged during or after the activity, but not prior to.

WHAT IF I WANT TO PAY BY CASH OR CHECK?

We do require a credit card on file, however you are more than welcome to submit a different form of payment. We just ask that our office receives it no later than the last day of the month for the following months tuition.

WHAT'S UP WITH CHANGING THE REGISTRATION FEE TO A MEMBERSHIP FEE?

During these unprecedented times, we are now offering much more than weekly classes. Lots of Open Gyms, Recess-type drop-in opportunities. We also have something offered on the hour almost every hour on some weekdays, so you will have more opportunities to use the gym with a lot fewer children in it. We felt like this not only added value (worthy of a $5 yearly increase), but also made it feel more like a membership. The old registration fee used to be $35 and the new membership fee is $40. Don't worry though. It is still an annual, family fee and regardless of the name of the fee, if you paid it within the last calendar year, it will not be debited until the month of your renewal.

I UNDERSTAND THE SCHOOL YEAR SCHEDULE WILL STAY THE SAME, BUT WHAT ABOUT SUMMER?

Starting in June 2021, the class schedule will change and camps will be offered as well, so a re-registration process will be necessary. The fee schedule will be the same (the credit card on file will be charged on the 1st for the following months tuition), except the August 1st charge will only be 50% because we only have classes for the first two weeks of August. Summer registration will most likely start in early April.

ARE THE DAILY ACTIVITIES DROP-IN OR WHAT?

They are! At least at first. We will gauge the number of participants and adjust if needed. If the interest is high, we will eventually need to require advanced registration, but we think we are offering so many daily activities, you'll be able to just pop on into the gym to jump into an Open Gym or a Recess-type activity. And we've brought back Toddler Play Date, every week day @ 11:00-11:55 and it's still a drop-in activity!

HOW DO I REGISTER?

Online is probably the easiest, but you are welcome to call us or print a form and mail it in…however you like! Click the REGISTER tab or the PARENT PORTAL button. If you have ever been enrolled with us before and given us your email, you are already in our system and do not need to start from scratch. You do NOT need to fill out the yellow form. Instead click “Already A Customer?” on the top of the yellow form. If you are new to us, welcome! You will simply follow the instructions on our website. As always, call us if we can help.

CAN WE START MID-MONTH?

Absolutely! And of course we will prorate the tuition for that month.

IN WHICH CLASS SHOULD I ENROLL MY CHILD?

During this reopening/crazy covid time, we have been forced to change our model. While limiting the number of participants in the building at a time, but still trying to make it convenient for families with multiple children, we needed to simplify our class levels. Although now, starting in October, we are offering more age specific class levels. As we get back on our feet, we may need to combine levels of close age groups and abilities. With so fewer children in the gym at a time, our instructors are able to personalize each class to make it age appropriate &/or skill appropriate and challenging for each child.

Our TUMBLE TOT CLASSES are now divided into the following age groups...

1-2 (which is for one year olds and young two's), 2-3 (two's and young three's), 3-4 (threes and young fours) and 4-5 (pre-K).

All Tumble Tot classes meet once a week for 40 minutes.

Our SCHOOL AGE CLASSES now have the following levels...

KINDER KIDS 5-6 (boys and girls currently in kindergarten), SCHOOL AGE 6-9 (boys & girls in first grade & up) and BIG CLASS 8-12 (formerly known as Big/Int 8-12, Advanced/Elite and Boys Fitness 8-12)

All School Age classes meet once a week for 55 minutes, except the Big Class, it's 85 minutes.

Our curriculum and lesson plans in each level progress throughout the year, so in most cases a student will stay in the same class for that school year and advance to the next level in the summer or the following fall.

Please don’t hesitate to call us as we can help figure out the right class for your child.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE TWO MISSED CLASSES IN MARCH 2020?

We have not forgotten about these, we promise! We will still be offering make-up opportunities, probably in an open gym-type atmosphere when we feel the time is right. You will receive the opportunity to participate in these whether your child is currently enrolled or not. We will reach out via email. We will not be offering refunds for these missed classes. As a small business, we really appreciate your patience and support during this challenging time.

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?

Comfortable clothes! Shorts, sweats, leotards, leggings, tights (without feet) and a t-shirt...whatever your child prefers. Pants/shorts with buttons, zippers, etc should be avoided. Hair needs to be pulled back and no jewelry, please. We will give every student a Wendy’s Gymnastics t-shirt on their first day, although this is not a required uniform. For safety reasons children need to be bare feet. Adults participating in Tumble Tot 1-3 class will need to take their shoes off but can keep their socks on. All adults in the building need to wear a mask

WHAT IF MY CHILD MISSES A CLASS?

We offer make-up classes for students who are currently enrolled. Make-up classes need to be completed within three months of a missed class. Just contact our office and we will find another class for your child to attend.
