BIRTHDAY PARTY FAQ
How do I schedule a My Gym party?
It's easy! Just give us a call and we'd be happy to reserve your special day and time! For your convenience, you can also request a date online or even book a party by placing a deposit online at https://www.mygym.com/yardley/birthday-parties/0
How long are My Gym parties?
Our parties are an hour and a half. We encourage you to open presents at home, allowing as much play time as possible. Ask us about availability to add an additional half-hour ($100). Many time there may be another party scheduled before or after. Adding this half-hour on at the time of booking (if available) ensures your additional time.
Is a deposit required?
A $150 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required to reserve your party. The remaining balance is due and payable on the day of your party.
Will My Gym provide entertainment and staff on the gym floor?
Our fun and friendly staff will not only provide entertainment but will develop a custom party with games and activities just for your child. From our large selection of music to award-winning programs, we do it all!
How many children can I invite?
There are 3 different package options for you to choose from. The Grand package includes 10 children, the Deluxe package includes up to 18, and the Premier package includes up to 24. You may decide which package as late as the Monday prior to your party. (For parties with more than one birthday child, combined friends or different aged siblings, only one child is excluded from the party count. Exceptions apply in the instance of twins and triplets.) Our MAXIMUM number of children is 24, as that is the most children we can fit in our seating area during the food portion of the party.
What if I have more than the number of children allotted in each package?
Additional guests are welcome! There is a $20 charge per additional guest over the specified number included in your party package. The maximum number of children allowed on the gym floor is 24. This number does not include children who are in baby carriers or held for the entire party, but it does include any children who are on the gym floor or equipment.
Does My Gym provide favors/goodie bags?
We have options for party favors. After you schedule your party, an email will come straight to you with a purchase option. These favors as a direct order so they are super convenient. We also keep favors in the gym, so if you're in need of a last-minute option, just let us know! Our goal is to make things as easy for you as possible!
What time should I arrive at the party?
We ask that the host arrives no more than 10-15 minutes prior to their scheduled party, as we will be cleaning & preparing the gym for the birthday party - as well as allowing the party prior to yours to exit. You are welcome to drop any décor, paper goods, etc. off ahead of time for us to set up prior to your arrival. **If you require more time for a "Pinterest-style" set up, just inquire about adding additional time to the party for set-up at an add-on cost.
Is there an additional charge for parents and/or caregivers?
There is no additional charge for parents or caregivers.
Is each child required to have a signed waiver?
For insurance purposes, ALL children must have a waiver completed and signed by a parent or guardian. My Gym provides a link to the party to send out to guests. We also have a custom QR code available for guests to scan upon arrival for a touch-free sign in process as well!
Do I need to stay at the party?
The party host is required to stay at the party. Parents of children 3 years old and under are required to accompany their children on the gym floor. However, other adults are also welcome to stay and enjoy the fun!
Are socks required?
For safety purposes, ALL children will be required to wear My Gym Gripper Socks ONLY. Socks will be handed out to each child upon arrival. My Gym Gripper Socks are included in each package. Parents are required to wear regular socks while on the gym floor. Including this in the invitations helps everyone be prepared on party day. The host parent is also welcome to bring extra socks for adults guests.
Can I use my own decorations and/or paper products in the gym?
You are welcome to use your own decorations or paper products; we do not allow ceiling decorations, silly string, or confetti (choke-hazard). Please keep in mind there is limited setup time between parties when planning decorations. If you choose to bring your own paper products or use the Grand package we ask for you to bring 4 rectangular tablecloths, plates, forks, and napkins prior to the day of the party - please provide enough plates, napkins, and forks for your party guests. Since paper products are not included in the Grand package there will be an additional fee should you need to use ours. Additionally, with the Deluxe or Premier package, you're welcome to bring in your own paper goods, but credits or substitutions are not provided for doing so.
Do you provide setup and clean-up?
Absolutely! We will set up the gym and take care of all clean-up afterward.
Are gratuities (tips) appropriate?
Gratuities for our staff are not expected or required but are always welcomed and appreciated for a job well done.
When will you contact me for details about my party?
We will email you the Monday or Tuesday prior to the party to go over details including music and game requests, as well as a few other questions.
