You must pre-register for open gyms through your parent portal (customer login). Please contact the office by calling (715) 425-6007 or email info@riverfallsgymnastics.com for the credit. We do not provide refunds for classes that your child is registered for but did not attend.

Weather Related or unexpected Closings:


If the River Falls Gymnastics Club is closed and classes are cancelled due to inclement weather (or any other reason), families will be notified via email, it will be on our voicemail system and posted on the website. Unless there is an extenuating circumstance the cancellations will be determined by the following times: 

  • Monday-Friday Morning Classes/Events: 8am
  • Monday-Friday Evening Classes/Events: 3pm
  • Saturday-Sunday Classes/Events: 8am 


The River Falls Gymnastics Club will do their best to reschedule the cancelled class or event at a later time during the same session. In the event the makeup class is not able to be rescheduled, an open gym pass will be provided to the participant. The River Falls Gymnastics will NOT follow the closings of the surrounding school districts but such closings will be taken into consideration.

Health and Wellness Policy:


If your child has flu or cold like symptoms, ear infection, pink eye, lice, whooping cough, etc. your child CANNOT attend class. A good rule of thumb is that if your child was not able to attend school or is dismissed early he or she cannot attend gymnastics class. If we feel your child is showing signs of illness, we will dismiss your child from class to a parent or guardian. If your child has been diagnosed with an illness listed above or any other illness that may infect another child and has been in gymnastics class during a time where you may think they could have infected others, please contact the office. We at River Falls Gymnastics Club will do our best to inform classmates of any serious or highly infectious illnesses that may have been presented by a fellow gymnast. We also will continue to do our part in disinfecting mats and other items in the gym.


Simple Tips to Staying Healthy:

  • Hand washing with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds
  • Wash hands before, after and during class if needed
  • Coughing and sneezing into your elbow, use a tissue and keep hands away from facial areas
  • Avoid touching other children
  • Cuts, scrapes, rashes, warts, etc. should be covered when in the gym
