Our coaches are here to help!
Our wonderful instructors here at Twisters are always happy to speak to you pre/post class. If you ever have any questions or specific requests regarding your child, please don’t hesitate to approach your coach. Just remember to request their help before or after class has concluded, not during.
Are your payment details up to date?
We want to take a moment to remind our customers that having up-to-date payment details makes monthly payments run smoothly, and decreases the risk of you having overdue fees.Please follow our How To steps here to update your details if necessary.
iClassPro App
We have a wonderful, easy to use app for parents! The iClass Pro app allows parents to book in make-up classes, mark their child absent, request to transfer their class and book into holiday programs. If you haven’t already, you can download the iClassPro App from your app store and get started right away!
👉 Make sure you search for exactly that – ‘the iClassPro app’.
👉 Then, and this is very important, ensure you put in the correct organisation name, which is ‘twistersgym’ – all lowercase and no spaces. You’ll know you’re in the right place because the landing page is purple (if the landing page is red, you’re trying to get into the Canadian Twisters).
👉 Lastly, you just need to pop in your Parent Portal details and you’re set!
Better Understand our Colour Skill Levels
In preparation for our progress checks this term, we want to bring your attention back to this educational passage about our colour skill levels: At Twisters, we use different colours to represent different skill levels. Each skill level has between 15-18 skills across different apparatus’. For example, Badge & Stars focus is on the Olympic events (vault, bars, beam, and floor), whereas our NinjaGym focuses on parkour events such as wall, vaults, and rolls. All of our programs have a trampoline and body preparation component to ensure every member is building strength and spatial awareness along the way.
Placing students in colour levels allows coaches to monitor their progress, and provide safe and challenging progressions based on the lesson plan for that specific level. The skills get harder as the levels go on, and each level has progressions and drills to achieve the final skill – whatever that may be!
Beginner levels focus on basic movement patterns and body awareness, while intermediate and advanced levels start to see more skill development. We encourage our gymnasts and ninjas to try something new each time they come to the gym, whether it is a small progression, or a brand new skill, new things and exciting things are happening every day at Twisters! For more information on colour levels, please check out this blog by our Education Coordinator, Caylie!
Northcote Carpark Reminder
A quick reminder to please only park in our marked Twisters car spaces and not in any other businesses along the driveway. Our undercroft is a drop off/pick up zone only, for after school and weekend hours, to keep traffic moving. If you intend to stay for longer than 5-minutes, you’ll need to find a spot for your car outside of the undercroft or park on Beavers Road or surrounding streets and walk into the gym. We really appreciate your help with this!
