· We require caregivers of children under to 9 remain in the immediate area. Caregivers may stay inside the gym during class, use the upstairs lobby area, or visit one of the nearby shops (Target, Harris Teeter, Dunkin, Dominos and Potbelly all within .5 mile.) COMING SOON: Outdoor pergola and bench seating.
· For children 9 and up, please notify your teacher if you plan to leave the immediate area, and confirm emergency contact information prior to class. If you plan to have another caregiver pick up, please make sure your child knows who is taking them home.
Safety
All instructors are CPR/First Aid certified, SafeSport trained and background checked. Many hold certifications from USA Gymnastics, National Strength and Conditioning Association, and National Academy of Sports Medicine. While all activities come with inherent risk, we train children how to listen to their bodies and asses situations before performing every task. Our coaches perform safety checks on equipment daily, provide soft landing mats, and work diligently to provide a safe environment for children to be physically active.
COVID-19 Prevention
In addition to limiting the number of participants in each class, we have implemented strict policies and procedures to keep everyone safe.
MASKS: All participants, caregivers and siblings aged 2+ will be required to wear masks while indoors. Children participating in cardio or high-intensity exercising will be permitted to remove masks while in their designated area to allow adequate breathing. Masks will be worn when using shared stations. Coaches and caregivers are required to wear masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
TEMPERATURE CHECKS: Anyone entering the facility will have their temperature checked upon arrival. Individuals with elevated temperatures will not be allowed to attend class. .
