FAQ
Before you bring your child to our gymnastics classes, we want to make sure you have all the information you need. That's why we've compiled a list of FAQs to address any concerns you may have. With answers to common questions about pricing, session length, and equipment needed, you'll feel fully-prepared to get your child started on their gymnastics journey.
Can my child do a trial before we commit?
Every child can attend their first class as a free trial / taster session. If they wish to continue with Totem Gymnastics you can then sign up straight away. Attending a trial means the spot is theirs if they wish to continue. We kindly ask you to let us know either way so we can reserve your place or offer it to another child.
Can parents watch?
Yes. There is a designated viewing area for parents and family to watch during the sessions.
What should my child wear to class?
For boys and girls, leggings or shorts are fine with a tight fitted top that can be tucked in. A leotard is not essential but is the most ideal when participating in gymnastics. We kindly ask you that children don't wear t-shirts or baggy clothing as it restricts movement/rise above heads and we want to be able to give feedback and corrections.
​
Are your coaches qualified?
Yes, all of our leading coaches are fully qualified and we have assistant coaches who are learning how to become a leading coach who will always be under the supervision of the head coach / qualified coach.
Is gymnastics safe?
Gymnastics is a very safe sport when taught correctly. Our coaches will ensure your child’s welfare is paramount and will not push any skills above what they are capable of doing.
What happens if my child misses a session?
Unfortunately, if your child misses the class we are unable to make up the missed session.
Do you offer sibling discount?
Yes, we offer a 10% discount for the first sibling and an additional 5% for the second sibling.
Is there a notice period if we wish to leave?
We ask for a notice period of 2 weeks / 14 days if you choose to leave prior to payment on the 1st month. Any payment days that fall within this time period are payable in full.
What are the costs involved?
Monthly class payment £34-£40 depending on what class you sign up to will reflect the monthly cost, which is paid via direct debit at the end of the month for the upcoming month.
