Spring Newsletter


Spring Newsletter 


           Spring is around the corner and we have already opened up the doors and started using the “Tower of Power.”  Thank you for your support of fitness and gymnastics.  March has been a busy month and all classes have been filled or close to capacity. 
Programs at the Garage Gym are complimentary to all levels of fitness and sporting interests. 
            I will be modifying a few procedural items to ensure a smooth running operation.  Please see information below for new policies. 

Payment: Starting next month the expectation will be to pay prior to the first class for the entire month of classes (3, 4, or 5 days). If two continuous months are scheduled together, I can take payments in 2 installments. 

Make up days:  I will hold one make up class a month on a Friday or Saturday morning.

Enrollment:  Please let me know if you wish to continue the class at least a week before the next month starts.    

Shoes:  Gymnastics shoes are a must for a number of reasons.  First of all safety and performance.  Socks do not provide enough traction.  We do back bridges in every class and feet simply slide out in socks.  Additionally I want to protect our athletes from funguses, warts, or any other foot aliment. 
Gymnastics slippers are probably the cheapest sport footwear you can purchase. Capezio shoes at $18 appear to be durable.  I have also used Balero slippers at $15/pair. 
Outside foot wear.  All classes will go outside to use the tower or to run.  I recommend any tennis shoe with good lateral support. 

Water bottle:  Of course I will always help kids get water.  This just helps to keep class moving quickly.

My Home:   I would like to move the gym away from the home when the time is right. 
In order to move I need to be fill up classes throughout the day. 

Adult Classes:  First of all, is there a need? I’ll open up classes upon request and get a port-a-potty.  I like the saying, “It is not where you train but with who and how.”

Feedback:  I am open to feedback on how to improve the program.  Tell me what you would like to see with scheduling (Summer Camps), Equipment and Special class offerings.

One final note: 

            After School Program :  I will be doing a free gymnastics class for anyone who wants to join.  Please contact Nick Algood to sign up. njallgood@gmail.com
MVE School Fitness & Gymnastics Assembly

When:  Thursday March 28th 2:30 in the Cub Gym.
What:  I plan on showcasing the talents of all of our current athletes and gymnasts. 
Who: I would appreciate it if MVCC athletes and gymnasts could make the assembly as well.
How: I will check with Dr. Patrick and perhaps they can allow the gymnasts to do a rehearsal at 2:00.  I could use some parent volunteers to help coordinate.


Thanks again. 
Jeff Monahan
