Faqs

For recreational classes, children can wear either shorts and a T-Shirt (something tight fitting so it will not slide over your child’s head if they go upside down), or a gymnastics suit. We have second hand gymnastics suits available for purchase on our online tuck shop.  Bare feet in the gym is required for safety reasons. Hair should be pulled back, no jeans, belly tops, dresses or jewelry should be worn. Children dressed inappropriately will be asked to change and/or not be admitted into class.

You can register online through our website by clicking the "REGISTER NOW" tab, logging into your portal account, or in person during our office hours. For assistance, please email us admin@kawarthagymnastics.ca.

Our new facility houses a beautiful viewing area upstairs with comfortable seating so you can watch your athlete in action.  Please note there is not footwear permitted past our reception area, and no outside food or drink.

Please enter the facility with your child for drop off and pick up so our coaching staff can complete a safe handoff.  We encourage you to also stay and watch from our new upstairs viewing area.

Yes we ask that everyone take their shoes off even in the warmer nicer weather. Keep in mind all children are going into the washrooms in bare feet and their little tootsies don't like stepping on dirt and stones.

We currently offer toddler drop-in, adaptive drop in, and adult drop in classes.  Please check out our "Specialized Classes" page for more details!

Due to our ongoing monthly recreational programming, we offer athletes the ability to withdraw from classes by the 15th of each month therefore we do not allow trial classes.

Weather updates – notifications regarding gym closures will be emailed within two hours prior to classes starting when possible, and will also be posted to all our social media platforms (instagram post, stories, and facebook).  Cancellations will also be posted on our website banner homepage.  If KG cancels classes for inclemate weather you will be entitled to a makeup class which can be scheduled by emailing admin@kawarthagymnastics.ca. 

Yes we do offer private lessons, please email us at rec@kawarthagymnastics.ca or call the office to arrange times. Private lessons can be arranged with any qualified coach around your availability and our gym schedule. Visit our "Specialized Classes" page for details around pricing.

If your child is interested in pursuing an advanced stream of gymnastics they will need to be tested. Please contact the office to inquire on our next testing date. Tryouts for our competitive teams are held at the end of May/beginning of June every year and sometimes at the end of August. Dates and times will be posted on the website once they are finalized.

We will do our best to accommodate you, however, there is no guarantee as staffing decisions are based on scheduling.  Staffing is also subject to change based on our coaches availability.

Our recreational program runs on an ongoing monthly basis from September to June each year. (Summer Rec sessions run for 9 weeks in July/Aug).  Upon registration your spot is yours September to June and we require your first month’s fees, along with your annual Gymnastics Ontario registration fee.  Your G.O. fee is valid annually July 1-June 30, and must be renewed to continue into the following season.

To withdraw from a class an online Withdrawal Form must be completed and submitted by the 15th of the month that your student wishes to leave. For example, if October will be your last month attending the form must be submitted by Oct 15th to be processed. Online withdrawal forms are available on our website under the "Recreational" program page.

Fees will be automatically processed to your credit card on the 1st of each month. On the 2nd day of each month we will be posting a $25 late fee to declined accounts. Payment in full, including late fees, are required prior to the 2nd class or the child will not be admitted into class, which will result in the forfeit of the child's spot.  

NSF will be a charge of $25.

There are no class refunds except for medical reasons which must be accompanied by a medical note at the time of withdrawal. Withdrawal for medical reasons will be prorated based on the number of remaining classes. For all other reasons please submit an online withdrawal form.

You are welcome to transfer at any time as long as there is space in another class.  Class changes are free of charge but must be in writing by contacting our office. Email us at: admin@kawarthagymnastics.com with your request.

If there is availability for the desired class we will gladly make the switch for your child. If you know your child will be going up an age bracket we recommend that you put them on a waitlist early on.  We allow class transfers based on age to occur within one month of their birthdate.

We offer makeup classes for gym related cancellations including holidays, meet hosting, fundraising events, and inclement weather conditions. Students may do a makeup in any class within the same age group. Makeups are open to currently enrolled students only and do not expire (as long as the student is enrolled), have no cash value, and cannot be used in lieu of payment for classes. To schedule a makeup, please contact our office by emailing your request to admin@kawarthagymnastics.ca.

 Yes, we accept payment from programs such as Jumpstart and City of Peterborough.
