Open Gym

OVERVIEW

EBG is excited to open up our in-person practice time to the general public for a drop-in uncoached open gym. This means that people who are not current members of the EBG Competition Club can now get access to the MIT Gymnastics Gym during our regularly scheduled practice times for some Open Gym practices. There is always a supervising coach in the gym for all EBG practices, however the coach's priority is those that are members of the Competition Club. People coming in for just the drop-in open gym will have indirect supervision and should be able to practice safely on their own.

HOW IT WORKS

Practice Times:

Summer 2024 practice times are weekly on Sundays from 1:15-3:15p (i.e. 2 hours), and monthly on Friday nights from 7:30-9p (i.e. 1.5 hours) - the remaining available Friday night dates for Summer 2024 are: Fri 8/2/24. (See scheduling calendar for specific availability.)

Safety Guidelines:

In order to participate in open gym you must be able to work safely on your own. No prior competition experience is necessary, but this is not an appropriate setting for someone who has never done any gymnastics before, especially since this is an uncoached open gym. This is also not an appropriate setting to work on non-gymnastics things (i.e. partner acro, parkour, tricking, etc.). Basically, you should have taken some kind of formal gymnastics class before, even if at a beginner level. The coach on duty reserves the right tell people when they are being unsafe and remove them from the gym if necessary.

COST:

Open Gym Cost:

The cost to sign up for a single drop-in open gym is $32 for the Sunday afternoon 2-hour slot, and $24 for the Friday night 1.5-hour slot. All fees must be paid in advance before you come into the gym.

Insurance Fee:

Everyone who participates in any activity-based EBG programming needs to pay the EBG Annual Insurance Fee (i.e. which renews every September 1st). However, the fee will be prorated depending upon when you sign up - i.e. Starting in September it's $50, starting in December it's $40, starting in March it's $30, and starting in June it's $20.

REGISTRATION

Registration Form:

We do registration on a rolling basis, so there is no need to wait for "the next session to begin". In order to register for any EBG programming, you need to start by filling out the online "Registration Form, Terms & Conditions, and Liability Release & Waiver" at least 24 hours in advance of the first practice you wish to attend (to give us time to process your registration). No one will be allowed to participate in any EBG programming without filling out the above form first (which has the link to pay for the EBG Insurance Fee).

Specific Practice Sign-ups:

After we receive your registration form and insurance fee, we will send you an email with a link to our online scheduling system, where you can sign-up for individual Open Gyms, as well as other EBG programming, such as our weekly Zoom Gymnastics Fitness Class, as well as Zoom Private Lessons. You select the specific practice that you want to sign-up for, and then you can pay via credit card when you check out. Open Gym reservations open up 41 days in advance of the Open Gym date, and close 1 hour before the practice begins. Please note, there are no walk-ins allowed - you MUST reserve and pay for your Open Gym in advance.

Cancellation, Rescheduling, & Refund Policy:

At this time, there are no cancellations, rescheduling, or refunds permitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.
