Exciting News!
We are moving our current management software (iClassPro) to a new system called Tribe. Some highlights of the new system will include:
🌟 Tribe is a web-based system that you can access through your browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop – you do not need to install an app!
🌟 Tribe has a very simple parent portal where you can swap between suitable classes with immediately approval, submit your class absence and automatically receive a makeup voucher, book your makeup classes, request a class upgrade, communicate with our Team Leaders by submitting a case and so much more…Â
🌟 You will have access to download invoices for every payment made to Twisters
🌟 You will be able to make direct debit payments from your bank account, rather than only from your credit card
🌟 You will even be able to choose between fortnightly billing periods, or monthly billing periods, depending on what works best for you and your family!
We are very excited to bring you these changes soon, we know you will love Tribe as much as we do!
Layers = warmth!
Winter is well and truly underway, and feeling extra chilly at the moment! Please dress your child for the weather, layers can be your best friend inside the gym. The kids can wear them until they’re warm and then just remove a layer as needed!
Feeling Unwell?
With so many viruses out in the community at present, we want to remind you that if your child is feeling unwell, it is best to keep them at home until they are feeling better. We offer unlimited makeup vouchers for absences notified in advance. So, if your child is a bit under the weather, head to the parent portal and mark them absent ahead of their scheduled class. Then rest up until they’re feeling well again!
🌟 Core Value Coach Awards 🌟
Congratulations to the following coaches for being the May winners of the Core Value Coach Awards!

Northcote parking reminder
New month, same parking requirements! Our undercroft is a drop off/pick up zone only, if you intend to stay for longer than 5-minutes we kindly ask that you find a spot for your car in one of our parallel parks, or park on Beavers Road/surrounding streets.
