OPEN GYM

Come play in our facility equipped with beams, bars, bouncy floors, trampolines and a foam pit. Upon arriving, we will check you in and give a rules review. Then, have fun! You don't need to be registered in classes to drop by one of our many scheduled open gym sessions. See you soon!

Regular Open Gyms—Children ages 0-9 must be supervised at all times by an adult responsible for enforcing gym safety rules. Children ages 10+ may use the gym unaccompanied by an adult, but parents must sign and agree to our terms of supervision prior to participation. (See links to our online waivers, below.)

Family Open Gyms--All children, regardless of age, must be supervised IN THE GYM by an adult who is responsible for enforcing gym safety rules.

10+ Open Gyms--Children and teenagers 10 and over may be dropped off; however, parents must sign and agree to our terms of supervision prior to participation.

10 & Under Open Gyms—Only children ages 0-10 will be admitted, with a supervising adult, in the gym at all times.

SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE

Your children do not have to be students to attend open gym. To register for open gym, create an account in the customer portal, add your child, click on Bookings and Open Gym. If you are paying cash, you may show up at the door, but the participant must be in the system.

Mini OG participants MUST enroll ahead of time as space is limited.

SCHEDULE

Saturdays & Sundays : 1 - 1:50pm

MCPS School's Out Days : 12 - 12:50pm

SAFETY FIRST

While all kids are invited to participate during open gyms, parents must remain off the equipment at all time. Parents are expected to closely supervise their children and enforce gym rules. Kids engaging in dangerous behavior or ignoring gym rules will be warned first, then asked to leave for the safety of all.

PAY TO PLAY

Spark asks that anyone (from 1 - 99) who wishes to use the equipment pays for entry to open gym. Supervising adults are NOT expected to pay; however, our insurance PROHIBITS anyone over the age of 23 from using ANY equipment in our gym unless currently a member (currently enrolled in classes or holder of an annual membership for $50 per year).

50 minute (scheduled)--$12 per child (under 18); $15 per adult ages 18-23
90 minute (scheduled)--$20 per child (under 18); $25 per adult ages 18-23

PASSES

Open gym passes give you the best bang for your buck and can be used by anyone (under 23) including friends, neighbors or cousins visiting for the weekend. We keep track of your visits, so no need to bring anything but the kids. We make the process simple--tell the front desk your name, the number of participants, and get ready for loads of fun!

OPEN GYM FAQ

IS OPEN GYM HELD ALL DAY?

No, we have scheduled sessions.

CAN I SHOW UP LATE OR LEAVE EARLY AND PAY A PRO-RATED FEE FOR THE TIME I PARTICIPATE?

Nope. Like a movie, you pay for the entire time regardless of when you arrive or depart.

CAN ALL MY CHILDREN AND GUESTS USE THE SAME PASS?

YES! When you purchase a pass (12 visits), the passholder can authorize anyone under the age of 23 to use them.

IS THERE AN OPEN GYM FOR OLDER KIDS?

We offer four different types of open gyms. The Family Open Gym is open to children of all ages; however, EVERY child must be supervised by an adult. The 10+ Open Gym session is for kids 10 and over. During the 10+ Open Gym, parents may leave their children; however, they MUST sign the supervisory agreement first.

DO I GET A SPECIAL GROUP RATE IF I BRING A GAGGLE OF CHILDREN?

Not during scheduled open gyms; however, Spark is happy to work with schools, scout troops, and other groups (including organized parents) to schedule special open gym sessions during non-busy gym times for discounted rates. The more kids or sessions (some schools come weekly), the better the rate!
