ANNIVERSARY FEE
All Students will be charged a $40.00 anniversary/registration fee. This fee is good for one year. (NO REFUNDS)
MAKEUP POLICY
If a child misses class for reasons including, but not limited to: illness, school, or anything else, they will not be given a make-up. Attendance is key to learn the skills effectively and very important to the success of the athlete. While we understand that your child might not be able to attend every class, please try to have your students here as much as possible. Consistency is the foundation on which all successful athletes are built. GMG does not give make-ups for holidays or closures.
DROP PROCEDURE
PARENTS MUST NOTIFY GOLD MEDAL GYMS TO DROP A STUDENT FROM CLASS. Only a written notice 30 days in advance via email, regular postal mail or hand delivered request to our front desk will be acceptable.
Please note: You are responsible for payment for your student’s classes WHETHER OR NOT YOUR STUDENT ATTENDS CLASS until 30 days after you notify the staff VIA WRITTEN NOTICE. Please do not rely on your student to verbally let us know that he/she will no longer be attending classes. If a student stops coming to class without notification then that student’s account will be charged for the additional 30 days. This charge will be for holding the student’s place in that class instead of offering that place to one of the many on a waiting list.
WHAT TO WEAR
Boys or Girls may wear tucked in T-shirts and shorts OR Leotards for Girls. NO chewing gum or jewelry will be allowed in class. Hair should be pulled neatly and securely away from the face so that is stays up for the entire workout. Girls should not wear bows or other large hair ornaments that may cause discomfort during activity. All students in class, except for cheer leading classes, will leave shoes in the cubby. Personal items should be left in the cubby. PLEASE LEAVE JEWELRY ARTICLES AT HOME. This facility’s staff will not be responsible for ANY items that may be lost or stolen. Be sure your student’s personal items are marked with their name.
ARRIVAL AND PICKUP
Be sure your student arrives 5 minutes before (no earlier please) his/her scheduled class time. Please pick up your student on time. Please inform us if you know you will be late picking up your student. Instruct your student to wait inside the building and you should escort them from the building to your car. During peak times the parking lot is crowded. Please take into consideration that our students may include young children. Please drive slowly and carefully. Do not take a chance on your student running to and from your car.
