Siblings Class? Mymo’s Mixers? What is this class, anyway?? Over the last few years, the Siblings Class has grown considerably and now – more than ever before! – many gyms are finding find that non-sibling children are just as likely to enroll in the program. As such, MGE has decided that the official class title will henceforth be Siblings & Friends. Curriculum and pertinent documents on the Operations Manual have been updated to reflect this name change, and we ask that you, too, update your class titles and descriptions accordingly. Please utilize the information found in the document “Class Descriptions for Website” – located in the Operations Manual Programs – Core subfolder. If you have been running this class as “Mymo’s Mixers” on your schedule, we ask that you change to the “Siblings and Friends” title, both to be in-line with our MGE mandate regarding Core Programs, and because “Mymo’s Mixers” is less well-understood by the uninitiated who might not know who our mascot is. Please continue to...

The Strategic Partners Division is in the midst of finalizing an amazing new deal for October with Netflix, one of our favorite partners. Many of you may start receiving a shipment of Netflix Magazines over the next few days. These engaging and interactive magazines will be offered to your members and guests as a free giveaway for the duration of the partnership.

As a follow-up to the Climber Safety update from 5/10/22, we have been working on ways to improve the stability of those that are worn. With help from our builder and a test gym, we have identified a way to firm up a “loose or wobbly” climber. Stability braces can be added to each panel of the climber. The addition of the 4 braces dramatically increases the stability of “wobbly” climbers. The braces can be ordered and shipped from our custom builder. The cost of the four braces is $243.00 plus shipping. If you have any questions, please email...
