We strive to improve the lives of our students by building relationships, improving confidence and teaching healthy habits through gymnastics-based programs. We want all participants to have FUN while participating in a safe and positive setting with fully-trained coaches. The experience shall be worthwhile, safe, motivating and long-lasting. If at any time a question or concern arises, please feel free to approach your child’s coach or a program manager.

Rules & Policies

In order to maintain our goals, we have a few simple rules that must be followed:

  • What does my child wear to class?

    For girls gymnastics: a one piece leotard (without a skirt), bare feet (no tights or socks), hair pulled up neatly, and no jewelry. 


    For boys gymnastics: gym shorts with no buttons, zippers or buckles and a fitted tucked in t-shirt.


    For tumbling or cheer: athletic shorts, fitted tucked in t-shirt, hair pulled up neatly, no jewelry, and gym shoes (optional) that are not worn outside.

  • Do you have a pro-shop to purchase attire?

    Yes, GBGC has a pro-shop where you can purchase attire, tape, and other fun accessories!

  • Do you have a parent viewing area?

    Yes, we do have a viewing area, equipped with chairs and bleachers for parents to sit comfortably and watch their children. We also have a great lobby area, which offers a viewing screen of the gym, and wireless Internet.

  • Do I have to stay to watch my child?

    It depends. If your child is in a preschool age class, you will need to stay for your child’s class as your child may need assistance when using the restroom. If your child is in a school age program, and is independent to use the restroom, you may drop your child off for class. Please bring your child into the building. If you are going to leave the facility while your child is in class, please make sure the GBGC office has your current cell phone number on file so we have a method to contact you in the event of an emergency. Please discuss with your child the safety procedures for dropping off and picking up. Your child must stay in the lobby until a parent/guardian arrives. Your child should never leave the building unattended.

  • Is there a late arrival policy?

    Yes. Please be aware that if you are fifteen (15) minutes or more late for class, you should schedule a make-up class for your child. It is for the safety of all our students. Please understand that safety must come first. All students should participate in the warm up, which prepares them for skill development.

  • What if my child misses a class? Can they do a make-up?

    The tuition you pay reserves your child’s spot in his/her class. However, at GBGC, we understand that circumstances or situations arise and your child may miss his/her class. We do offer make-ups for classes that are missed, as long as there is availability in the class, and it does not disrupt the safety and integrity of the class. If you have a scheduled make-up, and the class becomes full with regular attending students, you will be notified to reschedule the make-up. Make-ups can be done any time as long as you are currently enrolled in a class. Please call the office in advance to schedule any make-ups. Please do not walk in and expect a make-up class to be available. You may be turned away. If you should receive five classes during the month instead of four there will be no extra charge, although it will be considered a make-up for classes missed or while we are closed for holidays.

  • Do you do progress reports?

    Progress reports are handed out for our school-aged classes 3 times per year. If you ever have any questions about your child’s progressions, please talk to your child’s instructor. You may talk with them after class, leave a message for them at the front desk or email your question to the instructor at grandblancgym@gmail.com

  • How will I know if my child is ready to move to a different class?

    Our coaching staff continually tracks your child’s progress with skill charts, and your child’s coach will approach you when they have accomplished the proper skills necessary to be promoted out of their class. Your child will receive a move up certificate. At that time you must contact the GBGC Office to make your new class selection. The normal progression process can take up to one year or beyond for your child to progress to the next level.

  • How do I pay my bill?

    All members are required to be on automatic billing, charged on the 1st of each month. If you choose to pay by another method, you are welcome to do so before the 1st of the month in the GBGC office.

  • Is physical activity good for my child?

    Gymnastics, Fitness, Judo and early childhood movement education is directly attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting reading readiness.” (Raising-A-Reader, 1999) Preschool gymnastics prepares students for successful experiences in school. Children who have participated in movement education activities have longer attention spans, communication skills, general problem-solving skills, and improved self-esteem. “For every $1.00 spent on children’s recreational activities, society saves $4.78 in costs of remedial education, welfare, and crime prevention.” (Federal Committee for Economic Development, 1998)

  • Is there a discount at GBGC for having multiple children in classes?

    Please contact our GBGC Front Office for information regarding sibling discounts.

  • How do I drop a class?

    I understand that if my child is enrolled in a program that has recurring monthly tuition, then I am continuously enrolled in the program and I will incur recurring monthly tuition charges on my account until I submit a 30-day GBGC class drop request. This document may be obtained from the GBGC Business Office. All members must submit a 30-day notice.
