Everything You’ll Need As A GymnasticsEtc. Team Member
GymnasticsEtc. provides quality gymnastics and family focused programs to those dedicated to a well-rounded journey. Our knowledgeable well trained staff help our customers feel valued and educated.
Welcome to the GymEtc. family.
The golden rule is pretty simple. “Use good judgement in all situations.”
We are professionals. We are coaches. We are trusted to protect, educate, and interact with our student athletes and campers in a manner that is not only appropriate but, surpassing the parent/guardian’s expectations.
It’s simple for a company to say they value their employees. We really believe it. And because you are valued by us, we want to help set the tone that we expect you to hold us accountable to and practice yourself.
Judgment
Communication
Professional(ism)
Passion
Honesty
Selflessness
A great work place is having stunning colleagues, opportunities, and resources.
For our clients GymnasticsEtc is a family. For our staff GymnasticsEtc. is a team. Like a sports team, we are invested in the success as a whole. We have a mission, we have individual roles, we must work together with the intent to win (make the gym the best).
You’re Free. Be Responsible.
Responsible People Thrive on Freedom, and are Worthy of Freedom.
Our model is to increase employee freedom as we grow, rather than limit it. This is to continue to attract and nourish great employees, so we have better chance of long‐term continued success.
When it comes to coaching and child interactions, everyone has their own style. For the most part, that’s all up to you and your style.
Two Types of Necessary Rules
1. Prevent irrevocable disaster – E.g. Financials produced are wrong – E.g. Child safety is threatened.
2. Moral, ethical, legal issues – E.g. Dishonesty, harassment, abuse, etc. are intolerable
“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” – Antoine De Saint‐Exupery
We don’t want you to be little robots. We train our staff because we know and believe in the importance of sound bio-mechanics. We want you to be the best so our athletes can be safe and be the best to their ability. HOWEVER, we don’t want you to lose passion. Passion drives us. It innovates us. It is what helps you make our GymEtc staff team and work place better!
The concept is simple and proven, keep each employee at top of market for that person. This means we want to pay you as much as possible.
HOW WE DETERMINE PAY & RAISES
Lots of people have the title “Major League Pitcher” but they are not all equally effective. Similarly, all people with the title “Senior Gymnastics Coach” or “Director of After School” are not equally effective. So the art of compensation is generally based on three factors: Employee Success, Efficiency, and Consistency.
These factors are reviewed and discussed with your supervisor every 6 months. At which time compensation will be evaluated and positively adjusted in accordance to the review.
The Big Take Away
We develop people by giving them the opportunity to develop themselves, by surrounding them with stunning colleagues and giving them big challenges to work on.
Individuals should manage their own career paths, and not rely on a management for planning their careers.
Individual’s economic security is based upon their skills and reputation.
As a team member of GymnasticsEtc. you are trusted to be a true professional. As such we require that you adhere to the following guidelines for appearance.
Uniform:
Tattoos & Piercings:
Hairstyles, Jewelry, & General Appearance
You are the face of the company to whoever is in front of you. This means you should take pride in your work place and always do the little things like pick up a piece of trash on the floor when walking by it.

Sick Leave –
Sick Leave
Employees are allowed unlimited sick time (within reason)! Look, if you’re sick, your sick. However, if you abuse the policy you may face disciplinary action. For example, if you’re sick for 3 days with the flu that’s one thing. If you’re “sick” and someone sees you at the beach or out about shopping…. that’s abuse.
Special Note: Employees who are contagious, coughing, or sneezing are not permitted to come in to the gym. Heroics that can make the rest of us sick will not be appreciated.
Step 1. Complete the sick time notice form on the staff portal and call your manager to let them know that you are going to be out sick.
Step 2. If you are unable to reach your manager or don’t hear back from them within 1 hour of your class/shift starting, please call the General Manager (George 954.579.3397)
Family Medical Leave
The government has a law that says you must give unpaid time to workers for dealing with serious medical issues or a birth or adoption. We obviously follow that law.
