Rules/Policies
Tuition Payments: We offer two methods of payment: 1. Automatic Withdrawal-Customers sign up for automatic withdrawal and receive discounts as well as payment plans. For Class Programs, customers who are members of our auto withdrawal system have their tuition payments automatically withdrawn in two payments. The first payment is automatically withdrawn at the time of registration, and the second payment is automatically withdrawn at the beginning of week five. Auto withdrawal customers will be automatically rolled over into the next session (see description below). For Team Programs, customers who are members of our auto withdrawal system have their discounted tuition automatically withdrawn on the 1st of each month. Team members must commit to auto withdrawal from September through June. Customers signing up mid-session/month are not eligible for auto withdrawal. 2. Cash, Check, or One Time Credit Card Charge-For Class Programs, customers paying through one of these methods must pay the entire tuition at the time of registration. Our fees are based on a 10 week session. If a class meets for more than 10 times, you will not be charged extra for that class. However, it may be used as a make-up for a canceled class. For Team Programs, tuition is due in full by the first practice of each month. If payment is not received by the first class of the session/month, a $5.00 late fee will be charged. Any collection fees involved will be passed on to the parents. A $20.00 fee will be assessed for any returned checks. The credit card/automatic withdrawal company we use is Money Movers of America through Jack Rabbit Class. Both companies offer complete security. "Payment is SSL secure, same as ATM machines." In order to pay by credit card/automatic withdrawal you must sign up in person at the gym, over the phone, or through our website. Credit card information can not be mailed to Iron Rail.Registration and monthly fees are non-refundable (no exceptions).
Automatic Rollover into next session: All of our Class Program customers will be automatically rolled over into the next session unless we receive written notice three weeks prior to the start of a new session. Auto withdrawal customers will be rolled over and their first payment will be withdrawn the first week of the session and the second payment will be withdrawn the beginning of week five. Class program customers paying by cash, check, or one time crdit card, payment is due three weeks before the next session begins in order to reserve your roll over.
Uniforms: Girls must wear one-piece leotards. Boys may wear shorts and T-shirt. Socks should be removed before entering class. Hair must be tied away from the face. No jewelry is allowed in class.
Withdrawals: A space is reserved for your child until mid-June. Parents must give written notice three weeks prior to the beginning of the next session to withdraw a student from the program. Otherwise, parents will be billed for the entire session. A message left on the answering machine, or verbal notice given to an instructor will not be considered written notice.
Make-ups: No credits or refunds will be given for classes not attended (this includes absences due to sickness, vacation, etc.) If a class is cancelled due to weather, students may schedule a makeup in another appropriate class within 2 weeks of the cancellation. Competitive team members and karate students are not eligible for make-ups.
20% off a Second Class: Any child that would like to sign up for a second class will receive 20% off the second class. This discount is only taken when the same child signs up for two separate classes and may not be used for siblings.
Valuables: Valuable items should not be brought to the gym. Iron Rail Gymnastics Academy will not be responsible for lost or stolen items.

Classes: Classes will start on time. Do not drop off students more than 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the class. Students must be picked up on time. Please escort your child to and from the gym. Children are not allowed to wait for parents in the parking lot.
Students: Do not use apparatus without qualified supervision. Do not leave the class for any reason without the coach's permission. If you are injured or sick, tell the coach. Do not bring food or drinks into the workout area.
Parents: Please review the rules with your child and be sure they understand them. Do not allow your child to do any gymnastics tricks at home (backyard, living room, etc.). When entering the gym, please have your child put their belongings in a cubby. Check the lost & found box often. Do not give payments or checks to the instructors. Please place them in the payment box located on the wall in the viewing area. Tuition reminders and notices will be posted at the gym.
Visitors: Visitors must sit quietly in the designated area. Please do not talk to or otherwise distract the children participating in the classes. Any interruptions could result in serious injury. If you have young children with you, please, do not allow them to enter the workout area. This could be extremely hazardous to them and to the gymnasts. They must remain with the parent at all times in the viewing area. Only gymnasts and instructors are allowed in the workout area.
Snow Days: If there is any question regarding classes being canceled due to snow or bad weather, please call the gym. We will leave a message on the answering machine and on our web site if classes are cancelled.
Membership: Iron Rail Gymnastics Academy reserves the right to cancel a student's membership at any time.
Questions or Concerns: Please feel free to contact the gym if you have any questions or concerns. Because there is little time between classes and practice, you should call Wenham 978-468-9544 or Gloucester 978-282-8855, and leave a message as to the best time to reach you. An instructo will return your call as soon as possible. nfo@ironrail.com
