Having taught many, many over the years — parties at the gymnastics club are some of my favourite classes.
We get new kids and parents into our club. The birthday child often gets to show off for friends. It’s easy to fill the class with FUN activities. We schedule them during times of the week little used. Birthday parties are a win, win, win.
Best, I find, is to have a dedicated “birthday party coach” who teaches or organizes all parties.
Check the cost of a 90min party at Universal Gymnastics. Seems expensive:
A birthday party at Universal consists of one full hour of structured activity followed by 30 minutes for refreshments, opening of presents, etc. Invitations, juice, drinking cups and balloons will be provided… anything beyond that is your responsibility. …
To better insure maximum safety and fun, we require one instructor for the first 8 children and then one instructor per 6 additional children with a maximum party consisting of 20 children. For a parent child party the maximum number of children is 12 with one participating adult per child. …
$185.00 for the parent child party………………$205
$185.00 for 8 children………………………………$205
$265.00 for 9-14 children………………………….$300
$360.00 for 15-20 children………………………..$400
There is an additional $20.00 fee for nonmembers
Looks like the parties at Santa Monica Gymnastics are FUN:
