We are back and we missed you!
These past few weeks have been challenging for everyone, and we hope that you are all safe and healthy amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to welcome our athletes back to the gym on June 1. As the state of this public health emergency changes from day to day, we will remain focused on keeping our employees and our customers safe, healthy, and informed. Our normal procedures have changed in order to align with the State Mandates and Safety Protocols. Please read below in order to comply with our new operating procedures and registration.
Come In WE ARE REOPEN
Drop Off Procedure
Customers will need to enter the parking lot from the Comstock Parkway entrance. Follow around the building to the side entrance. Stop at the side entrance with the orange awning for drop off of your athlete. I will come to your car to facilitate an intake procedure. Please have your athlete remain in the car. PLease be on-time for classes.
Please wear a mask
Parents and athletes will need to wear a mask at all times in the car. We want to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Don’t have a mask? No problem! We have them for sale! Order online and we will deliver to your car.
Your athlete may keep their mask on during practice if you wish but it is not required.
Intake Protocol
Temperature Scan
We will be taking every athletes temperature with a non-contact digital thermometer scanner upon every arrival into the gym for every athlete every day.
COVID-19 Screening
We will be using the Rhode Island Department of Health's and Department of Human Services' COVID-19 screening tool to determine whether your athlete will be able to enter the gym for practice. If your athlete has a temperature of 100 degrees or more, a cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, body aches or chills, runny nose or stuffy nose, soar throat or diarrhea
your athlete will be excluded from the gym until they are completely free of symptoms for 72 hours, AND 7 days have passed since their first symptoms started.

Parents, please remain in your car during this drop-off procedure. Please remember to stay a safe distance (at least 6 feet) from the intake coach. Parents are not allowed to enter the building. Viewing can happen from the doorways in the Big Gym and the Front windows in the Little Gym.

Gym Sanitization
Our entire facility has been fogged by Sole Source Restoration with Micro Thermal Fogging and Electrostatic Spraying. This disinfectant fog attaches to air particles and destroys any biofilms, including the novel coronavirus. Next, hospital-grade germicide was sprayed using electrostatic spraying, killing over 99% of germs and viruses.
The gym will be sprayed nightly with disinfectant.
The equipment will be sprayed or wiped after each rotation and nightly.
Bathrooms and all surfaces will be disinfected and wiped nightly.
All floring will be vaccumed and sanitized nightly.

Credit Cards will be the only form of payments and accepted through our customer portal online.







I would like to thank all of you for your constant support during this pandemic. We are all facing a health and economic crisis. You and your athlete's commitment to our programming is essential to the future of our mission. I have learned through all of this the true meaning of what this gym means to me, my coaches and our families. It has given me the clarity of what I want it to be for our future. We are not giving up. Gymnastics has taught me that when you fall down you have to get right back up. I have used this life lesson countless times in my life. This may have been a hard fall, but with hard work, team work and perseverance we will conquer.

I wish you all a safe return as we adjust to getting our lives back. I pray you and your families are healthy. I cannot wait to see all the kids back in the gym.

Dream BIG!!
