To find your perfect fit, simply use our size charts. Gymnastics is one the most expensive sports to take part in. In this article, we will be diving into the cause of the high prices and what you can expect if you have a child start gymnastics.

The main factor that drives up the cost of gymnastics is the running costs associated with owning a gym facility. This is a sport that needs a lot of indoor space, specialist equipment and qualified coaches. Compare this with outdoor sports such as soccer and basketball which can be run with a simple outdoor space, minimal equipment and a lot less cost at a recreational level. Some facilities will also be paying back the finance needed to build and open, which will add an additional overhead for a gymnastics club.

Just like any other business, all of these costs will affect the prices that gyms charge people to take part in classes. Different gyms in different areas will always mean some variation in prices charged, but they will all be trying to cover the same types of costs.

As with all the costs mentioned, there will be variations depending on location and facility. Therefore all figures are purely given as a guide and you should take your time to research specific facilities that you are interested in joining. Class costs make up the bulk of any outlay for gymnastics and good coaching will cost more.

At this level gymnastics is more of a hobby and the gymnast will probably not compete other than in-house events. Classes will typically be for 50 — 60 minutes per week. Some facilities will offer sibling discounts or multi-class discounts but the research above focused on the cost of a single child with no special offers so that we could make a fair comparison. Competitive Team gymnastics can get pricey. Fees will also depend on how many hours the gymnast is training per week.

Usually, this charge will cover insurance costs for an individual plus affiliation to a regional or national governing body. Some facilities will do this at cost, whilst others will markup the charge and use it to make a few extra bucks. Family discounts are available at many gyms, for example, additional siblings will be charged less or maybe one charge will cover all members of the same family. The gymnasts do not pay for their competition wardrobes. USA Gymnastics, the national governing board for the sport of gymnastics in the United States, covers all those costs and more.
