Birthday Party FAQ's

Birthday Party FAQ's

 

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 online. BOOK HERE

How long are My Gym parties?

Our parties are two hours long. 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.

Is a deposit required?

A $200 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!

Is my child too old for a My Gym party? 

We do classes for children all the way up to 12 years old. That means we are fully prepared to keep your older kids having the time of their lives too. Everyone will have fun even the parents!

How many children can I invite?

The Grand package includes 20 children. You can add more children at a cost of $15 per child. The birthday child is free and not included in the guest count. (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 25, as that is the number of 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 $15 charge per additional guest over the specified number included in your party package. The maximum number of children allowed on the gym floor is 25.  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.

Can I bring a character actor or a pinata?

Sure can! We love to work with character actors and pinatas are fun too. Do keep in mind this will lessen the amount of time we will have to play games and activities. No face paint or live animals in the gym. Yes! Someone did inquire about bring livestock before :)

What time should I arrive at the party?

We ask that the host arrives no more than 15 minutes prior to your 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" setup, please do reach out to us so we can do our best to accommodate. Please note for bigger/extravagant setups you will have to arrive with as much of it already prepared. Set up for more intricate banners/backdrops, balloon arches, a large amount of decor, etc. will be pushed into guest arrival. 

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 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 the week of your party

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! 

*this will have to be done for each guest. Members and non-members alike.  

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, we ask for children to go wearing My Gym Grippy Socks and for parents to wear socks. Including this in the invitations helps everyone be prepared on party day.

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 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 prior to the party to go over details including music 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 torrancepv@mygym.com at any time! We want everything to be ready for your child’s party!

Can I bring food to my party?

Sure can! We have no restrictions with food/drink, but would kindly encourage you to not have spaghetti :) It is the messiest clean up, but if its your kiddos favorite, who are we to say no! Most parties have pizza as it is the easiest food to hand out. 

 Can I bring in my own drinks?

You are welcome to provide drinks for your guests ( this includes adult beverages). You may also provide juice boxes/small waters for the children. Individually packaged beverages are required and we highly recommend an ice chest or cooler. For your safety and enjoyment, food and beverages are not permitted on the gym floor.

 Are there any additional items I need to bring to the party?

If you will be bringing a cake or cupcakes, please bring candles. For your convenience, we have lighters and cake knives on hand. We don't supply them but you are welcome to bring in helium balloons as well.

 What if I need to reschedule my party?

We require at least a 10-day advance notice if you need to cancel your party. Remember that your deposit is time slot specific and non-refundable (sorry-no exceptions). We charge a rescheduling fee of $50 to move your party to another time slot.

 If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 310-530-7200
