We have the BEST ratio for our classes in all of Des Moines – this is one of the reasons our Athletes progress so well! In our Tiny Tumbling Classes, our ratio is 1:6; in our Fundamentals and T100-T500 Tumbling our ratio is 1:9 and JUMP, HIIT Zero, and FLYER FLEX our ratio is 1:20. Cheer Basics and Intro to All Stars are 1:12.

Third parties are not allowed to use any of the Tribe logos without license, signed agreement, or other written permission from the Tribe office. All logos and branding, both those trademarked and those not, are protected by US Copyright Law. The image of our gym Family, Culture, and Presence is very important to us, so we have strict usage guidelines for all apparel containing the gym logos or Team logos. Thanks for understanding – and if there’s something you want to see in the pro shop, let us know!

The anniversary fee is charged to every Athlete at Tribe and is the annual insurance and registration fee so we can keep your Athletes and our Staff safe. Once your Athlete’s anniversary date is set, you will be auto-billed on that anniversary date as long as the Athlete is still enrolled at Tribe.

If you’re brand new to Tribe, your Athlete may do one paid trial class prior to registering for a monthly class. We allow one paid trial in any of our Tumbling Classes (Tiny, Fundamentals A + B, 100-500), Cheer Basics, and Flex/Jump/HIIT Zero. Due to the nature of our classes and always full registration, no other classes have allowable trials.

Trial classes are $20. The $20 fee is applied towards your account as a credit towards your first month's tuition when you join the class you trialed.

Before requesting a trial class, you will need to fully complete a Parent Portal account with all Family/Athlete info so we can officially place your Athlete in the trial class. This INCLUDES autopay information. You will be charged for the trial class fee, but you will not be charged anything further unless you login to ACTIVELY enroll your Athlete (the TRIBE Office does not enroll Athletes). After you have the Parent Portal completed, simply email us the class (with available space) that you are interested in, and we will complete the trial sign-up process.

Athletes deciding to enroll after the trial will be billed for the current month's tuition (in full or prorated) as well as the Anniversary Fee, if necessary.

Make-up classes are ONLY available for Tumbling, Jump, and Flyer Flex. To learn how to schedule a make up, click HERE. Please note, make-ups can only be made up 8 days AFTER a class is missed and can only be made for the same class type and tier.

MAKE UP CLASSES ARE NOT GUARANTEED. We cannot guarantee we will have space in a class for your Athlete to make up.
