Tuition and Billing Policies

Tuition payments are made via automated debit from an account that you have designated as your primary billing account. All monthly automatic transactions will be charged on the first day of the month for the following month of lessons.

I authorize Gymsport Athletic Center to debit my credit or debit card account on file on a monthly basis for tuition and any other outstanding balance on my account.

Those that wish to opt out of automatic payments or would like to switch the automatic payment date to the 15th should contact us via email at classes@gymsport.com. If paying by check or cash, we require payment for three months in advance.

I understand that if I am not on automatic billing and my tuition is not paid by the 10th of the month, Gymsport will charge my credit card on file for the outstanding balance plus a $20 late fee. 

A credit card must be on file for anyone participating in classes at Gymsport. I understand that if my tuition account is overdue my child(ren) may not be permitted to come to class until the account is brought up to date or a payment plan is put in place.

Due to operational costs, no refunds will be issued.

  • Instead of a free trial class, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if a customer is not satisfied within 30 days of the first class.
  • Tuition for the session is divided into 12 4-week months. Some calendar months may have more than 4 weeks, some may have less. The entire month’s tuition is due regardless of how many calendar weeks are in the month.
  • Athletes who register mid-month or mid-year for classes will be prorated the first month only.
  • There is a $30 NSF check fee for all returned checks.
  • Gymsport will not refund any amount of tuition for missed classes. Your tuition pays for your spot in class, which is held open for you regardless of whether or not your child is in attendance. Set make up classes are available and offered as a courtesy.

Discounts are given for the following:

  • 10% tuition discount for military families (with valid ID)
  • 10% sibling discount off of tuition for each child registered after the first.
Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy

  • A 2-week written notice is required to cancel your class. This can be emailed directly to cancel@gymsport.com. Please note – if a written cancellation notice is not received, tuition is due. 
  • Tuition will not be refunded for mid-month cancellations. Unused tuition can be credited to future classes or events at Gymsport. 
  • Cancellations will not be back-dated. 
  • If you submit your cancellation notice, your spot in class will be given to the next student on the waiting list. We cannot guarantee your spot in class if you should change your mind and decide to remain with the program.
  • Cancellation of your enrollment will lead to forfeiture of all unused make-up lessons not used prior to cancellation. Makeup lessons cannot be used to extend lessons. 
Injury/Illness Policy

Illness/Injuries

  • Any athlete with a communicable disease is recommended to stay home from the gym. A child who has contracted COVID-19, lice, ringworm, or chicken pox is not permitted to come to class until they are no longer contagious.
  • You can schedule a make up for any missed class through our Parent Portal.
  • Athletes who are missing one month or more of class may turn in a doctor’s note for tuition to be discounted by 50% for the duration of the doctor-prescribed sabbatical.

If a recreational or pre-team student is injured and cannot attend class, they have two options:

With a valid note from a doctor, class can be dropped immediately with no penalty (no 2-week written notice). They will lose their spot in the class and can return when they have been cleared by a medical professional.

If they will only be out of class for a short period and wish to hold their spot in the class, tuition will be discounted or prorated by 50%. A doctor’s note is required for tuition to be discounted, and make up classes can be taken to replace the missed classes.

Student’s personal information (i.e. last name, age, etc.) will never be used.

Safe Environment and Athlete Protection Policy

Gymsport is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for all athletes, coaches, staff, volunteers, and parents, as well as promoting an environment that is free of misconduct. Therefore, the following Policy has been set forth to promote a safe gymnastics environment, both solely and in partnership with other necessary parties, including staff, volunteers, parents, and athletes.

Gymsport has zero tolerance for abuse, including inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct, in its programs, activities, and events. All coaches, staff and volunteers shall abide by and adhere to all Gymsport policies, standards, rules, procedures, and guidelines pertaining to safe environments/athlete protection.

Abuse, including child abuse, is defined in various sources, such as state statutes, case law, sports organization and professional association codes of conduct and training manuals, corporate and business workplace documents and human rights commission materials. Gymsport has not adopted any specific definition of abuse; rather, it has chosen to defer to such general sources and definitions for reference and application, depending upon the circumstances. Nonetheless, in general, the following conduct may be considered abusive:

 Physical Abuse

  1. Any physical contact with a participant that intentionally causes the participant to sustain bodily harm, including without limitation striking, hitting, kicking, biting, shaking, shoving, forcing an athlete to train or compete when injured or mandating excessive exercise as a form of punishment.
  2. Any physical contact with a participant that intentionally creates a threat of immediate bodily harm or personal injury.
  3. Giving alcohol or inappropriate drugs to a participant.
  4. Any violation of applicable law.

Physical contact that is reasonably intended to coach, teach or demonstrate a gymnastics skill or to prevent or lessen injury (e.g., spotting, catching) does not constitute physical abuse. Infrequent, non-intentional physical contact (particularly that which arises out of error on the part of the gymnast or coach) does not constitute physical abuse.

Sexual Abuse

  1. Rape, incest, fondling, exhibitionism or sexual exploitation.
  2. Any form of sexual contact or inappropriate touching, unwanted physical contact, unwelcome advances or requests for sexual favors.
  3. Any form of wanton or obscene gesturing, lewd remarks or indecent exposure.
  4. Sexual abuse of a minor includes without limitation:
    1. Touching a minor participant for the purpose of causing the sexual arousal or gratification of either person.
    2. A minor participant touching any person, if the touching occurs at the request of or with the consent of such other person, for the sexual arousal or gratification of either person.
  5. Neither consent of the participant to the sexual abuse or contact, mistake as to the participant’s age, nor the fact that the sexual contact did not take place at a gymnastics function is a defense to a complaint of sexual abuse.
  6. Sexual abuse also includes sexual misconduct described in the USA Gymnastics Code of Ethical Conduct, including:
    1. Soliciting or engaging in sexual relations with any minor.
    2. Engaging in any behavior that utilizes the influence of a professional member’s position as coach, judge or administrator to encourage sexual relations with an athlete.
    3. Engaging in sexual harassment by making unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature where such conduct creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
  7. Any violation of applicable law involving sexual misconduct or child abuse, or that is specifically designed to protect minors.
Required Apparel
  • Girls Gymnastics – leotard (without skirt), hair pulled back, no shoes or tights.
  • Boys Gymnastics – shirt and athletic shorts, no shoes.
  • Tumbling – leotard or shirt and athletic shorts, hair pulled back, clean cheer shoes or bare feet.
  • Parkour – shirt and athletic shorts; clean, flat-soled shoes are recommended. No Crocs or light up shoes should be worn.
  • Midriffs must be covered at all times. Overly loose clothing is not recommended. Clothing with buckles, snaps or zippers are not permitted during class to avoid damaging the equipment and injuring coaches. Jewelry is not permitted and watches are discouraged. No child will be allowed in the gym in jeans or pants with buckles or zippers.
Safety Rules and Policies

Safety before class

  • Talk to your child at home about staying in line, not talking loudly in class and listening carefully to the teacher.
  • Arrive at least 5 minutes before class and be sure your child is dressed appropriately.
  • Try to have your child visit the bathroom before the class starts.
  • Do not allow your children to enter the gym until instructed by the coach.
  • Any children who are not attending the class must stay in the lobby.
  • Place any personal items in the cubbies provided. Please do not leave shoes or other clothing on the lobby floor as they can create a tripping hazard.

Safety during class

  • A coach must be present for the children to be on the equipment.
  • Absolutely no horseplay or running around the equipment.
  • Only one person on the equipment at a time, unless instructed by a coach.
  • Look around before you cross any equipment area or group class.
  • Let the teacher know if you are ever feeling sick, dizzy or faint.
  • Let the teacher know if you need to go to the bathroom or if you need a drink.
  • No gum or food is permitted in the gym at any time.

Special consideration for young children

  • Children under 18 months should never hang unsupported from a bar.
  • Always pick up your child by the armpits or upper arms (instead of the hands or forearms) to prevent dislocated elbows.
  • Bars and beams should be chest height or lower. Our preschool-sized equipment is perfect for little bodies!
  • Only one child at a time in the foam pits, please – no one likes being jumped on or crushed!
  • Remember – a toddler’s head is 1/3 of their body weight. This restricts some movement that older kids may be able to do and makes balancing a bit more difficult.
Other Policies
  • Worried about snowy weather?
    Gymsport posts information about closures due to inclement weather on our website (it will be on the front page), our Facebook page, KDKA, or WPXI. We may not always be able to make it to the gym to answer phone calls. If you do not want to brave the weather or sloppy roads, feel free to stay home and sign up for a make up class instead. Safety is our top priority, in or out of the gym!
  • Parents, siblings and other family members are not to go past the lobby into the gym (except to use the men’s restroom). This is for the safety of all athletes and family members.
  • Please, no flash photography. This is very distracting to our athletes.
  • No outdoor shoes are permitted in the carpeted gym area. 
  • Food and beverages are sold in the Snack Shack. Please keep all food and drink in the lobby.
