The Polar Express has departed

Thanks to all who helped last night to make another successful Holiday Show happen without a hitch. We love seeing the kids do what they love, in a relaxed fun enviornment. No competition, no stress, just showing off their skills for family and friends.

Also we updated our info on http://www.yelp.com/ ; local.yahoo.com . Feel free to rate and review us.

Recreational classes begin again January 5th, and we will have some big new things coming your way for our rec programs. Also if you see one of ad's that we'll be running over the next few months, let us know and tell us what you think.

Hello Livermore, East Bay, World! We're Gymfinity

It's been a while so I'll try to update everyone on what's happening in a few posts, thanks to everyone who still checks in.

Programs:
We have started some awsome new programs here so's here a quick breakdown of what we've got going right now.

Gymnastics: We've got a gorgeous gym set up and we're offering classes 6 days a week for boys and girls, for kids who just learned to walk, all the way up to girls who want to qualify for the London Olympics.

Dance: The studios are nearly finished up and we're now offering a full schedule of dance on what we have heard is one of the nicest dance floors ever constructed. Once again we offer classes to students as long as they're old enough to walk.

Tumbling: Getting ready for the cheer team, wanna hone your tumbling skills, just want to learn how to flip, all are great reasons to sign up for our tumbling classes.

Cheer: This is a fantastic new program that fills a great niche for kids in the east bay. A student who joins a Gymfinity Cheer class will recieve an hour of cheer technique instruction, and an hour of tumbling instruction. This gives them a great base to build off of, whether they want to be on a competitive team or just want a more relaxed cheer experience.

Athletic Training: This is a cool one, if you're looking to get into serious shape this is for you. This class utilizes our amazing facility to take your conditioning to the next level. Two hours a week and you'll be amazed at the results.

Hey, who would like to pay zero tuition at Gymfinity?

You heard me, I said who wants to pay zero tuition at Livermore's premier gymnastics, dance, cheer and tumbling facility? Well here's what you do:

Step 1:Find your total monthly tuition

Step 2:Take your monthly tuition and divide it by 25

Step 3:Take the number you calculated and refer that number of children to Gymfinity for any of our programs.

Step 4: Repeat the process next month.

What this is, is the revival of our referral rewards program. For every student that you refer to us, WHO SIGNS UP, you will receive a $25 credit towards tuition and they will receive a $25 discount on registration. A win, win, win situation. You get gym credit, they save money, we get a new student to join our Gymfinity family.

Let's all work together to get the gym full of new happy faces, and save a little green while we're at it.

Gymfinity, where the possibilities are infinite!

Gymfinity has opened. Some thought it would never happen, others tried to make it not happen, but despite all that has happened, it did happen. Only now does the slogan that everyone voted on, "where the possibilities are infinite!" really mean something. I think that only in business where the possibilities are infinite, could such an amazing thing happen in just 6 months time.
So many people came together to make this a reality, and everyone was crucial. I shudder to think how many times a job had to get done, and I put the call out for help and got it. And I'm not just referring to parents, there were so many people that aren't even connected the gym but helped immensely. My brother Joey; Katy's husband and brother in law; friends of my father who donated trailers; all the contractors who came in on their lunches; and plenty more.
We had a landlord who was willing to work with us when no one else would, and Brett Holden, my realtor who has pulled off the impossible, twice, in finding us a facility and is one of the individuals who is most responsible for Gymfinity remaining open today.
This time around Juli and I had the pleasure of having Glenn Biggs and Rick Galviano leading the charge and helping us to bust through, or at least side step, the obstacles that arose. We are indebted to these men forever, because they are the ones who took this project from a stand still to light speed, and stuck with it to completion.
There were several members of the City Of Livermore staff that were amazing to us. Government employment is usually a field where it seems that doing anything but nothing is radical, and the folks that helped us were radicals indeed.
I know I've missed dozens of people and groups but just know that we are grateful to all who helped and we love you.

Sincerely,
Jerod

Trick or Treat

We got a booth at this years trick or treat walk on oct. 29th from 4pm-8pm in downtown Livermore. First street is taken over by thousands of gouls ghosts, and the occasional 20 year old in a darth vader outfit. Free candy for all the kids and lots of games and cool booths. We hope to see everyone there.

Good job booster club

Everyone had a busy couple of days at the gym but it all payed off, and the meet went awesome. It is nice as an owner to not have to run around worrying that things are not being taken care of. Me and Juli are thankful that we have a booster club that is active and truly cares about putting on quality events. A lot more goes into a meet then just a couple days of moving mats and vacuuming floors, months of planning and organizing are put in that no one sees. As we all know the girls of the team don't understand or really appreciate it, but we don't do this for apprectation, we do it to give these girls the opportunity to participate in a sport that is, frankly, very expensive. Thanks again to all who helped.
Also if you saw the girl in the yellow shirt today passing out fliers, that was Anne Philips from www.gymnastike.com , she came to cover our meet and possibly do a write up about it. I would recommend checking out the site.

Clocking out.

I just took some pics of what will be the large dance floor. Currently it sits in the form of 35 rather expensive pieces if plywood, and a couple hundred freshly cut strips if high density foam. Hopefully tommorow afternoon I can post the before and after pics for everyone to see.

Just in case you forgot what it looked like before.

some new pics

A well deserved rest.

Early bird gets the discount

Take a seat people, the man who runs the nicest looking gymnastics and dance facility in livermore and the tri-valley has got somthing to say.
I'm not a huge fan of motivation. That is to say that I don't like the idea of people finding their drive to do things from outside pressures i.e. the horse that either chases the carrot or runs from the whip. I hold to the belief that peoples drive should come from within themselves, not be a reaction to others.
In any case I have been trying to "encourage" people to pay their tuition on time by threatening to charge a $50 late fee to anyone who pays after the fifth. I am officially tossing out that policy. I don't like the idea of trying to scare you into fullfilling your obligation to pay on time.
Instead we are instituting an early bird discount. If you pay your tuition sometime during the two weeks prior to its due date you may take ten dollars off your tuition amount. If you haven't paid by your due date then your child isnt officially enrolled in a class and it will need to be resolved.
Now I know that trading a fee for a discount seems like trading a whip for a carrot. What I'm really doing though is simply saying thanks to those who have been responsible. I'm not trying to trick people into paying on time, just giving a pat on the back to those who do.
This will be effective for the oct. tuition so if there are any questions feel free to email me, or call.

Thanks,
Jerod

P.s. If you want to email me insert my address into a new message, if you simply reply, I believe everyone will recieve it.
