General FAQs

Gemini bills Monthly. Charges are run on the first of the month and that will cover the classes for that month. For ex/ July 1st's payment will be for all of July.

The Annual Membership allows you to pay a lower monthly rate in exchange for a commitment to the gym for 12 consecutive months.

Tiny Twistars (Twinkler/Sparkler/Super Stars) & Mini Ninjas will use the door just off the parking lot to enter and exit from. There is seating inside that area. Because the seating is located inside the gym, we ask that you remain in the designated area. If you need to use the bathroom or visit the front desk, please exit and go around to the front door. It is not safe for families and students to walk across the gym floor.

Recreational Gymnastics & Tumbling, Ninjas, & Xcel gymnasts will enter through our main entrance at the front of the building. Once inside, students will be directed to a zone to line up and wait for their coaches. When class is finished, please exit through our NEW Exit door in the front of the building.

We offer one make-up class a month for a missed class due to an absence. We ask that you schedule this make up class within two weeks of the missed class.

No! Once you enroll your child, that is his/her spot until your schedule changes and you need to make adjustments. Please email the Front Desk with your class changes.

• DRESS CODE

Rotation schedules have been made so groups are rotating safely around the gym.

Additional preventative upgrades to our facility include touchless bathroom faucets, soap dispensers & hand dryers.

With regard to air quality, we followed in the footsteps of D102 La Grange, who is leading the way in student safety in the Chicago suburbs. Gemini purchased 9 commercial grade air purifiers from Air Oasis that are being used in D102. We have been using these air purifiers at Gemini for the last month.

To maintain fresh air flow in the gym 4 air intake units have been installed on our roof. These air intakes will provide a complete replenishment of fresh air in the gym over the course of 64 minutes.

Cooperation of all staff, students & families by maintaining good hand & environmental hygiene, maintaining physical distancing, and following policies and procedures is the best we can offer.

Families that have elderly members, &/or members, with underlying health issues need to make educated decisions regarding their student’s participation in activities as there may be asymptomatic individuals that do not know they are COVID-19 positive.

For 15 years we have taken great pride in the fact that our gym does not smell like a gym. Gemini does not have “magic mats” that smell good as some students have recounted. The reason our gym does not smell is simple, it is because we clean it all the time!

We will be maintaining the high Gemini standards that you know & love by cleaning using only CDC approved cleaning products that are on the EPA’s List of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19 and are proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria & viruses on all surfaces throughout our entire facility.

One product we use is Force of Nature which provides hospital-grade disinfecting & sanitizing while being non-toxic & hypoallergenic. Force of Nature has been given the highest rating by SkinSafe, the Mayo Clinic's rating system for product safety for skin allergies.
