INSTALLMENT PAYMENT POLICY

*Please note that account credits can not be applied when you select the Installment Payment option. If you have a credit on your account that you would like to use, please call us after making the first installment payment and we can manually apply the credit to your second installment.

Please note that the installment payment option is only available until one week prior to the second installment payment due date. After this date has passed, installment payments are no longer available for the upcoming session.

Installment Payments are only available for our Fall, Winter and Spring Sessions and our Summer Camps. If you wish to take advantage of this option, please take note of the following policies and fees:

The first installment payment of 50% of the purchase total plus the full cost of the Gold Medal Membership is due at the time of registration. This will secure your spot in the class. The final 50% balance is due +/- 2 weeks before classes commence (may vary depending on Session dates. We will send an email reminder to those with outstanding balances prior to processing any payment).

We will automatically run the final balance through on the same credit card or E-check account used for the initial installment payment. Any final balances that do not process due to insufficient funds or a change in account information will be subject to a $30 Administration Fee. We will then contact you for an alternate payment method.

All balances not collected 7 days before the session start date (eg – The Fall 2018 Session starts on September 10th so all balances are due by September 3rd) will result in the immediate withdrawal from the program and your spot will become available to those on the waitlist. In this circumstance, the initial payment will be refunded minus an additional $30 Administrative Fee.

MULTI-PERSON/MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT POLICY:

Please note that multi-person and multi-class discounts are only applied to our Fall, Winter and Spring Sessions.

We offer a 5% discount for the second participant from the same family in the same session and a 10% discount for any additional participants from the same family in the same session. We also offer a 10% discount on multiple classes by the same participant in the same session. These discounts are applied to class of lesser value.

If you are registering multiple children from the same family or for multiple classes within the same session, you must add all of your classes to your cart before checking out or the discounts will not be applied.

If you do not register all family members and/or for all classes on the same transaction, the system will not automatically apply the multi-class and multi-family member discounts on later transactions. If this occurs, please call us at the gym and we will apply a refund for the discounts. 587-349-2004.

Please check individual program information for any special promotions and discounts (eg – $20 Birthday Discount for Members, $30 off second child for Kids Night Out Camps, etc).

REGISTRATION

The recommended registration method is online with a Credit Card or E-Check. We can also process registrations at our facility for those who wish to make their purchase using cash or interact debit.

Due to a high volume of calls on registration day, we are not able to process registrations over the phone on registration days.

GST

GST (5%) is NOT included in pricing unless otherwise stated.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

NSF payments will be subject to a $30 administration fee. Failure to make payment prior to your child’s program start date will result in a cancellation of your child’s registration.

SPECIAL NEEDS PARTICIPANTS

We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment and we do our best to accommodate most situations. To ensure a safe and high quality experience for all participants and staff, those with a special need that require one on one attention will need to have an aid accompany them in the gym.

Please keep in mind that our staff are trained gymnastics coaches, but do not always have the necessary certification or knowledge to accommodate those with special needs. Please indicate any special circumstances under the medical notes in your online profile so our staff can be aware prior to commencement of classes. Each situation will be handled on a case by case basis, keeping safety and a quality experience for all in mind.
