Safety and well being of our customers, students, staff and anyone involved with Gymnastics Palace has always been and still is our number one priority! As we prepare to reopen our facility, here are the new safety rules that we are implementing: 

     Keep in mind, our facility is practically outside, so there is no sharing air with other people in a confined space. We believe that makes a BIG difference versus other, traditional gymnastics facilities! 

     Another BIG one is that we always had and will have only one class at a time! 

Not to mention the BIG advantage that all the students are coached personally by the Owner, who is 2 Time Olympic Gymnast with over 23 years of Coaching Experience! 

     The side door on our side of the facility will be open for us and only us, in order to avoid any possibility of contact with other facility users. 

     We request that all students be in their cars, ready to enter the facility 5 minutes prior their class starts. 

     Parents and/or any other spectators will not be allowed in the gym at any time.  If you need to talk to your coach, please call at a time when we don’t have a class. You can also text or email and be patient as we will probably be very busy in the beginning of this new normal. 

     Every class will be broadcasted in real time through Zoom from several different angles, so parents that want to watch and listen to anything that is happening, can do safely from their car, home or anywhere they might be.  

     As always, our classes will be 45 min long and we will at least have 15 min. in between to clean and disinfect everything and welcome the next class.  

    All students and staff will have their temperature checked with a contactless thermometer and hands sanitized upon entering the facility.  Anyone with a temperature about 100.4 will not be allowed to enter. 

     If your child is sick, please keep her/him home. We will do the same for our self and staff if any. 

     Masks/Face coverings will be required by all staff and coaches, while in the facility.  

     Students must have a mask/face covering to enter and leave the facility.  

     Students will be allowed to take Masks/Face coverings off during class, but they need to put them back on, when using the restrooms. 

     After entering the facilities one by one, the student will go to his/hers designated station with all of his/her belongings. That station will be the ONLY place that the student will be using for the ENTIRE class. The stations are spread out through the gym to maintain the social distancing requirement of at least 6 feet. Floor markers will be set, with clear boundaries. 

     We have invented a new program that will allow every child to work on every station, but not on the same day. For example, if your child gets the balance beam station, she will do only balance beam, all by herself for that day. Next class she takes, she will be doing another station. 

     Water fountain will be closed, so every student must bring his/her own water bottle. 

If a student is missing a mask or water, Gymnastics Palace will provide one and charge it to your card on file. Face mask - $2. Water - $1. 

     Every class will have Maximum of 5 students to allow plenty of space for social distancing. After some time, when we know that we are ready for more, that number will gradually change. You will be notified in advance. 

     Due to social distancing guidelines, physical spotting will be very limited.  While our goal is to maintain social distancing between students and coaches, there are times where spotting or incidental contact is necessary to keep our students safe and prevent injury. 

     The whole gym will be thoroughly disinfected and cleaned before and after each class. 

     At the end of class, after sanitizing hands, students will promptly exit one by one onto the same place they entered. Parents are required to wait in front, inside their car at the time that class ends. Please have a sign with your child’s name, visible from the gym door, so we know who is ready for pick up. 

     We need to make sure the students leave on time, so we can disinfect and welcome the next class, so if you are more than 5 minutes late for pick up, you will be charged $5 fee as we have to make special arrangements for your child. 

     Team schedule will be the same as always, with the same limit of 5 gymnasts at a time. That way we have enough space even if we need to switch areas (if necessary), we can disinfect it between users and still maintain social distance. 

     If you are not ready to send your athlete to the gym, we will still have online options for you. You can also combine both online and gym training if necessary or if you need more. 

     Please, understand that these rules are subject to change in order to keep up with any government and health guidelines and also to improve safety and efficiency in the gym.        Please keep an eye on your email for any updates.

     Looking forward to seeing your athletes back in the gym! It will be even better than before!
