UPDATE 3/21 10:00PM:
MGA will remain temporarily closed until at least March 31, 2020. We are still hopeful that the threat of COVID-19 will soon pass, and that we will be able to responsibly open our doors again soon. However the safety and health of the children and families that come into our center remain our top priority, and we plan to continue to follow the instructions of local and national health authorities.
Effective our first day of closing, March 15, and remaining in effect until we reopen, we have suspended all customer billings. All MGA memberships will be extended to cover the time of our closure.
Please continue to check back here, on social media, and in your email inbox for updates. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your patience and understanding, and we are hopeful that we will be seeing everyone again very soon.

UPDATE 3/16 12:00PM:
- The governor has issued an executive order for all gyms to close, effective 5PM tonight, which means that we are closed until further notice.
- We do not know when we will be permitted to reopen, so please continue to check back for updates.
UPDATE 3/16 11:00AM:
- In order to try to stay within the CDC recommendation of limiting gatherings to 50 people, we ask that you consider dropping your child off for class, or limiting the time that you stay to watch.
- You will still need to check in at the front desk before class, but until further notice, we will not be stamping hands.
UPDATE 3/14:
At MGA we are making adjustments so that you, our members can get more out of your memberships, and so that children in our community can have things to do for during this down time.
For the month of March: UNLIMITED DROP-INS for monthly members, and $5 DROP-INS for anyone else.
Unlimited Flexible Scheduling and Online Reservation System
FOR ALL CURRENT MONTHLY MEMBERS
We realize that schedules will be hectic and kids will be out of school, which can make things difficult for parents, and we want to help. To help alleviate some of this stress, we are offering unlimited drop in's during the week at no additional cost.
Many of you may know families who need healthy activity during this time, especially with schools closed. So to help our community, anyone who is not a monthly member may come to a class for just $5 per person. This includes Season Pass-holders.
Please also know that we are sanitizing mats, handles, and surfaces throughout the gym on a daily basis.
