Gymboree Classes $$$

Are they kidding me. $354 for a class that runs 1/3/07 to 4/7/07 for my 8 month old once a week. Is it really worth it????

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

Does that include a one time only registration fee? It is a long session and that is about right..

I think it is worth it, if you can afford it plus- your child will be socializing with childrren the same age and it gets you out of the house interacting with the other parents..

Most classes average $20-25 per class..

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

Yes thats with the reg fee. I think I will sit in on a class to see if I like it. I gotta get out of the house with her(besides shopping)

definately do a trial class. Most places will let you sit in on a class to see if you like it and since you are paying a lot of money youwant to make sure it is worth it.

I have done trial classes with all the places I go to..

Is there a My gym by you?? If so take a look at that, Jacob loves it ..

We found it worth it for that time span, because we also took the kids for a "free play" day during the week....kept us in where it was warm, thay LOVED the classes! ( my daughter and neice were 1 and almost 2 at the time, I think the walkers may get more out of it)

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

It is a lot of money. the one by me only wanted 319 and that was a lot. I went to the trial and I can't justify it. Is My Gym cheaper I hope? They're much further away from us unfortunately than gymboree.

ETA Just checked the my gym website and they're even more expensive though it's a longer session so it's probably about the same. ugh!

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

I hear ya - I wanted to sign the kids up for a class and they wanted just shy of $600



Needless to say they'll be stuck in the house with me LOL.

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

Thats there longer session thats why, its usually $200 maybe a little more. Julia's session shes in now was $350 since its so long, but it will go down.

I feel its worth it!

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

The price also includes their playgyms which is 1 hour of free play scheduled different times at different centers. I go about 2 times a week plus the class so I fully use their facility. After a full 4 consecutive sessions (1 year) you become a high five member and the classes are 50% off. My son is just 18 months so we will be paying 50% off for as long as he is enrolled. Definitely worth it for us.

FYI - if you have a local gymnastics center almost all of them have separate classes for Mommy & Me's right up to gymnasts... might be a bit cheaper - I know the one by me is a tad bit cheaper than My Gym.

Re: Gymboree Classes $$$

WE do My Gym and love it. It comes out to be about $20/hour class.
