Amid COVID-19, Gymnastics facilities in jeopardy, gymnasts losing competitive edge in WA State

https://q13fox.com/2020/05/13/amid-covid-19-gymnastics-facilities-in-jeopardy-gymnasts-losing-competitive-edge-in-wa-state/

The struggle is real in every state. We have 26K sf and we can limit our training to 9 gymnasts and 1 coach with sanitizing mitigation in place, yet we are not allowed to have them in the gym. Meanwhile, I was at a store this weekend that had a counter and 10x10 space and the sign said no more than 10 people in the space at a time, that's not enough for 6 feet of social distancing at all.

We are doing our best to keep the kids conditioned virtually and their motivation and spirits high, but this will be a major setback in their training. We will, of course, comply with what the governor says. We will follow the rules and set a good example for our athletes. We miss our Gymkids a lot but know we will be back at it soon enough!!!

q13fox.com For more than eight weeks, Sandy Flores has stared at an empty gym. 60-thousand square feet at Emerald City Gymnastics in Redmond – with no gymnasts and no revenue. “Even being closed, our expenses are close to $70,000 a month with no employees,” Flores said. “We have lost close to $750,000 ...

We are very excited to offer virtual recreational classes while the gym is closed. Coach Chris, Coach Blake, and Coach Kate recorded warm-up and conditioning classes for all levels of rec classes. We will publish new classes every week and encourage you to follow along and since we all have more time you can do these more than once per week!!
This will keep our amazing students conditioned and ready to return to the gym when classes begin!

We will send a link to our YouTube channel via email so you can link to the classes as many times as you would like. Parents are welcome to join in on the fun as well.

We are missing you all big-time, the gym is too quiet without our gymnastikids and their families. Can't wait to see all your faces again!!

The girls level 3-6 using zoom to stay connected, and yes, there were virtual handstand contests🥳

Dear G-Force Gymnastics Family,
Due to the recent global concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak, G-Force Gymnastics will follow all State of Emergency guidelines and mitigation practices and will be closed for all classes, activities and team practice until March 29th. (at the very least) This closure will take effect immediately. We will keep you updated if the guidelines change via email and social media. I know this may be a disappointment to many, as this is truly a watershed moment in our history, however, we need to err on the side of caution.
As community leaders in providing a safe environment for young athletes, we feel it is imperative to take precautionary actions to ensure the safety of everyone in the G-Force Gymnastics community. As many in our community are connected to people with immune-compromised conditions, we could not justify taking a risk and possibly inadvertently exposing them to the virus. I know this decision will have long-lasting implications, however, we believe it is the responsible choice to take preventative action at this time and limit any potential spread of the virus and follow along with the CDC recommendation of avoiding gatherings of larger groups and keeping at least a 3-6 ft social distance for at least 2 full weeks. With that said G-Force will be closed until at least April 24th. We will continue to monitor the developments of this outbreak over the next several weeks and follow all recommended CDC and Department of Health guidelines and recommendations before reopening. As more information becomes available, we will continue to provide updates about the future of all classes and activities.
I want to assure you that all canceled Recreational and Jungle Gym classes will be made up once the gym is reopened. Team members will receive updates on canceled practice make-up opportunities in the next two weeks as information becomes available. Team members will also be instructed to complete conditioning “homework”, which the coaches will send out this week. I want to thank you for your understanding and support as we work through this unprecedented event. Stay strong, stay healthy, the weather is beautiful, get outside and enjoy this time.
Thank you once again for your continued loyalty to G-Force Gymnastics,
Sincerely,
Maureen, Scott, Macey and Mike, The G-Force Gymnastics Leadership Team

5 Steps for Coronavirus Prevention - Clear Gear coronavirus prevention

G- Force Gymnastics Community,

Concerns about COVID-19 are, as you know, escalating. We are taking every precaution to ensure the health and safety of our athletes and families and we have also amped up our cleaning and sanitizing protocol according to the CDC standards (linked below) and beyond by using top of the line germicidal cleaners (linked below) which are specifically tailored to our unique gym environment. Our staff has been taking measures to clean the gym twice daily in order to stop or at least slow the spread of germs. We are watching the CDC website closely and will follow USAG suggestions for closings and meet cancellations. All information will be posted on our website, Facebook, Instagram and sent out via email blast.

As I am sure you have done already, please stress the importance of handwashing and avoiding touching their faces to your children. And I stress DO NOT send or bring your child to the gym if they or anyone in your family are showing signs of sickness. A simple sore throat is the first sign of COVID-19 and while children tend to get a milder version, they may be carriers who spread the virus to the community. Until the CDC gives us an all-clear we ask that you follow this protocol.

Thank you for your patience and support. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Have a good evening.

Maureen, Scott, Mike, and Macey

12 Reasons Why Spending Money On Your Kids Sports Is Totally Worth It

creativehealthyfamily.com Spending money on your kids’ sports is totally worth it. Don’t believe me? Give me a few minutes to change your mind!

[01/07/20]   Due to weather, we will close the gym today. Stay safe and warm :)

From our family to yours,
Merry Christmas!
Warmly, Maureen, Macey, Mike, Scott and all the G-Force Staff

Good news! I have signed the lease and our elves will begin the final build out of our new recreational gymnastics space over the next few weeks!!! We will be able to start classes in the new space after the new year.

We are expanding our program with an additional 13,000 sf dedicated to our recreational classes at 21641 Beaumeade Circle, across the street from our current location. This will allow us to add many more classes to our recreational program while allowing our current space to focus solely on being a Team Training Center.

We opened the doors to G-Force Gymnastics in January of 2013, so excited to open the doors to our second location 7 years later ,expanding to 25,000sf of upbeat and positive gymnastics training.

Once again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and loyalty, we love doing what we do :)

Warmly,
Maureen, Macey, Mike and Scott.

The most overlooked reason why your kids won't listen, focus or sit still.

Interesting article on why kids should move more. Gymnastics can help :)

We so excited to announce we will be expanding our current program and opening a second location across the street which will host all of our our recreational programs!!

Our current location will remain our Team Training Center so we can better accommodate each program.

We are hoping to open the doors this October!!!
Stay tuned for more details.

A big THANK YOU to Olympian Jonathan Horton for visiting our athletes at G-Force Gymnastics this week. Jonathan is a 2008 Silver medalist on High Bar and Bronze Team Medal winner and is now an American Ninja Warrior! Jonathan is also an author and has published his first book "If I Had Known" (link below)

Thank you for your advice and inspiration, it was wonderful getting to know you!!

Jonathan said "Macey Watson is a legend in the Men's Gymnastics industry" . We are blessed to have him that's for sure!!!

This book describes what it takes to get to the top of a sport and how much work and dedication it takes. It shows what it takes to be an Olympic gymnast and the sacrifices you need to make. But that's not all. It teaches anybody who wants something to push themselves as far as they can, to believe in themselves and to recognize that they can achieve great things. This is a great read for anyone looking for motivation or for anyone wanting to see what it takes to be one of the best in the world.-Jake DaltonMember of the U.S. National Team4 X World Medalist2012 & 2016 Olympian

Thank you to USA National Team Member Sean Golden who came to visit his former coach Macey Watson at G-Force Gymnastics on June 29th. Sean spent the night talking to our athletes and sharing stories about his life as a gymnast and Macey's student.

Sean represented the USA as a 2-time World Championships team member and became a 2-time medalist at the Pan American Games.
