MONTHLY TUITION
First and foremost, there are no long term contracts. We have structured our program so your child can enroll in class at any time on a month to month basis. The number of classes will vary month to month depending on the area’s school calendars and holidays which necessarily means your child may have 3 classes one month, 4 the next or 5 in another. Regardless, we guarantee 48 classes during our “Gym” year from September to August. If your child’s class meets 5 times in one month, we will not charge extra. Consequently, if your child’s class meets 3 times in one month, due to holidays, you will not receive a credit or make up.
PAYMENT SPECIFICS
Full payment is required with registration. Tuition payments by check can be mailed or dropped off in our payment box at the front desk. Master Card, Visa, Discover and American Express can be used at the front desk or over the phone. Debit Cards can be used at the front desk. We do not accept Money Orders.
Tuition is due on the 15th of the prior month. A $15.00 late charge per participant will be charged and is immediately due if payment is received after the last day of the month. Example: November tuition is due October 15th and late after October 31st.
We offer the Convenient Option of Auto Pay:
ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP ADMINISTRATION FEE
The Annual Membership & Administration Fee allows GymStars to operate without any long term contracts. Applies to immediate family only. This fee is due upon initial registration and each following year on the participants anniversary month. Membership costs differ by location. Please contact your desired location for current rates.
DROPPING
A 30 day written notice is all that is required; with medical reasons being the only exception, (see below). The 30 day notice begins upon receipt of the written notice. ORAL DROP NOTICES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. If a 30 day written notice is not received, you will receive a final bill for one month’s tuition charge. Drop notice forms are available at the front counter.
MEDICAL REASONS for dropping a class
For medical situations validated by a written acknowledgement from a licensed medical practitioner, you will be granted a credit prorated from THE DAY WE RECEIVE the written acknowledgement.
A retroactive request for medical credit cannot be granted, as it eliminates our opportunity to fill the vacated class spot.
MAKE UPS
Tuition pays for your child’s spot in their class. We know how hectic family schedules can become. As a courtesy, GymStars desires to offer two make-ups per month when doing so does NOT INTERRUPT the safety or quality of classes. All make ups must be completed within one month from date of absence. Please call the Office to schedule make-ups. Make up procedures vary program to program, depending on safety concerns, space, equipment, and teaching ratios. NOTE that a program’s particular make-up policy is already factored into that program’s tuition amount. The gym is closed from time to time for holidays. These days are factored into the tuition averaged out over the year. GymStars reserves the right to refuse to offer a make-up if we feel it will degrade the experience of those children who have registered for and paid for that class. Make-ups are not intended for Developmental and Competitive Students.
GENERAL RULES
Safety always comes first and we need your help.

Here at GymStars, we take security and safety seriously. Therefore, if you would like to video or photograph your student in class, please visit the front desk first for a Video & Photo Pass. PLEASE NO FLASH OR VIDEO LIGHTS. It disorients the students on the bars and beam when there is a sudden flash or bright lights.
*Please refer to the class information for specific rules for the students. We ask that the Competitive and Developmental Athletes also refer to their team handbook.
