What is a good time to call in advance for a party?
To ensure you get the time and date you prefer, we would recommend booking your party at least two months in advance. GRIT is typically booked out a month or two.
Does "Up to 10 Participants" include the birthday child?
Nope! Why would we count the birthday child? You are here to have fun. Our base package is for "up to 10 participants" PLUS the birthday child and their siblings!
A participant is any child on the course who is actively involved in the games and activities run by the coaches. We DO NOT charge parents, grandparents, or friends to stay and watch, nor do we charge babies and toddlers (under 3) who attend but do not participate.
Want to add more participants? No sweat! We are happy to accommodate you (additional fees apply). Additional participants can be added for $30 per participant and will be added to your final invoice.
Do you provide Helium Balloons and Themed Decorations?
We have lots of parties at GRIT and everyone wants to do something different.
Think of the GRIT Gym as a fresh pallet to decorate as you wish! Our Party Manager will be happy to help make this the best party ever or, for you DYI party planners... check out Amazon/Party City/ Target or Walmart for great themed decorations!
GRIT provides Red Balloons for your party. They are not Helium Balloons however as we are not in the balloon business. Feel free to call Party City! They deliver and have a wide assortment of colors and styles to choose from!
