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 or book a party by placing a deposit online at https://www.mygym.com/huntingtonstation/birthday-parties/. Simply click the party package you'll be booking, and the system will show you up-to-date availability.
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 ($120). Adding this half-hour on at the time of booking (if available) ensures your additional time as there may be another party scheduled before or after as your date gets closer rendering the additional time unavailable.
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 15 children, and the Premier package includes up to 20 children. The birthday child is free and not included in the guest count. You may decide which package is best as late as the Monday before 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.)
What if I have more than the number of children allotted in each package?
Additional guests are welcome! There is a charge per additional guest over the specified number included in your party package (cost varies based on package). 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 are a direct order and 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 5-10 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.
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!
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?
All children attending must wear My Gym Gripper Socks on the floor at all times. These are included in your party package and will be distributed to each child guest upon arrival. All adults must wear socks on the gym floor at all times.
Can I use my own decorations and/or paper products in the gym?
We offer an endless array of decorations and themes that we will be happy to provide to you. Some packages include these themes and others can be added at an additional cost. Basic paper goods/utensils are included for all adults. We also offer themed backdrops as well to add on to your party!
Can I hire outside party characters?
We do allow this, but it is not recommended as the quality of your party will depend on our staff's ability to keep the schedule of structured activities in-line with our plan. We also require advance notice and approval from management at least 2 weeks in advance for any outside characters. This notice must also include proper proof of insurance.
How about balloons?
Balloons are included in our themed packages. You're welcome to bring in extra balloons (if they will be delivered contact us so we can help coordinate delivery time). If you choose to bring your own balloons, please give us at least a week's notice and note it is $1 per balloon to be filled with helium. Please note any extra balloons you may bring are usually best on weights or free for us to hang where appropriate. No balloon arches or elaborate set-ups that require additional set-up time are permitted. We do offer balloon towers and helium filled birthday number balloons as add-ons or as part of our Premier celebration.
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 welcome and appreciated for a job well done.
When will you contact me for details about my party?
We will email you the Monday the week prior to the party to go over details including music, guest count, theme and game requests, as well as a few other questions. If you have any questions as your date gets closer feel free to email them to huntington@mygym.com or call us (631-427-GYMS) at any time! We want everything to be ready for your child’s party!
When should I order pizza & other options?
When we email/call you to confirm details for your party, you will have an opportunity to order pizza, beverages for the children, and beverages for adults. You may also add party favors. Please keep in mind any add-ons require a minimum of 24- to 48-hour notice.
How many slices are in a pizza?
There are 8 slices for adults and 16 slices for the kids. All our pizza is provided through an exclusive contract with Umberto's Pizzeria of Huntington. You can access our personalized menu through this link: www.umbertoshuntington.com/mygym.No outside food is allowed. Pizza orders must be placed through My Gym.
