Here are a few things coming up at the studio.

• This Saturday, Dec. 8, will be the last day of the current weapons rotation.
  Tuesday, Dec. 18th will kick off our next weapons rotation, and we’ll be doing another round with the bo. Cost is $60 for the three month rotation, and classes meet Tuesdays at 5pm and Saturdays at 9am. Registration is on the app – just choose MPK Leadership Team/Weapons Rotation in the membership section before the 18th. Or, if you aren’t using the app, you can register and pay by clicking here.
• Saturday, Dec. 15 is test day for eligible students testing for Gold Stripe through Brown Stripe belts. Test fees are due by the test date and are paid through the MyStudio app. As students are approved for testing, we will send the link to you to pay the test fee. As a reminder, students must have met the minimum number of classes and earned all pretest stripes to be eligible for testing.

Please plan to come to this Saturday morning’s class, as we will have an open gym format to focus on stripe testing, and we will also do the same open gym format for Juniors and Adults on Wednesday, Dec. 12 during regular class times. Little Kickers will have a normal class on Wednesday.

As we settle into our new location at 7125 River Road, we have some images for you under the “in case you missed it file”… below are some shots of our ribbon cutting and the new studio.

We’re back to normal schedules at our new location. Come see us! Our new location is at 7125 River Road, DeForest, WI (Google Map).

This weekend we officially made the move to our new location on River Road! However, there is still some prep to be done for classes, so unfortunately We will NOT have evening classes Monday night, November 19.

On Monday, A+ After School Students will be taking a field trip next door along with our staff to Jump Around GYMNASTICS. Thanks to Ben from Jump Around for sharing space with us! Please pick up your kids at Jump Around tonight.

We will be open at the new location tomorrow night (Tuesday 11/20). Wednesday night and Saturday morning we will have open gym.

Take a look at these pictures of the now-empty old studio and the for-now empty new studio from last Saturday’s moving day…

Good afternoon MPK Families,

We are finally almost, just about, nearly to the finish line. This will hopefully be the last week of classes in our current location. Eight years have flown by. We have so many happy memories and wonderful stories, all created right here. If you are around this week, please stop in and enjoy a last workout with us.

Normal classes all week with the exception being Saturday. On Saturday, November 17, we will be MOVING to the new studio! If you would like to help we would love to have you. We will need packers, cleaners, unpackers, assembly, lifters, carriers. We will begin at 8 am and go until we can’t. We may also have some time on Sunday from noon to ? If we need it.

There is a sign up list on the counter if you get a chance. I hope to see you all in class this week!

We will soon send out an email to most of our members with a link and instructions for how to transfer to our new payment system on the MPK Deforest App. If you are already using the app and have set up a program, or you have had MPK staff help you set up a program, you should not be receiving this other email.

The link in the email will send you to program specific to you. If you have 2 or more family members, please use code “family2” or “family3” to receive your discount. You will need to enter each member separately.

Some of our members are paying on the 15th of the month. Our new system will only support 1 payment date and after careful consideration we have chosen the 1st of each month as our payment due date.
