A: Each school finds different ways to funds C’motion rentals. The vast majority of schools treat C’motion like an in-house field trip, where it is parent-funded. Schools will send permission slips home, and each student pays a minimal fee to participate. The C’motion fee can also be included in annual student book fees charged, or schools can request funding from PTO/PTA groups. Fundraisers have even been set up to cover the C’motion rental.
Q: If my school does a 4-day unit for $7/student, is it for the entire program or is it $7 per day?
A: The $7 rate that each student is charged covers the entire program, so all 4 days are included. They will not be charged $7 per day.
Q: If my students only have PE 2 times per week, does this mean they will only get to participate in the C’motion program 2 times during that 4-day rental?
A: C’motion will try to accommodate your PE schedule in order for each student to participate for the maximum number of days they’ve paid for. So, if your students have PE every other day, it would take 8 school days for them to complete a 4-day unit.
Q: Does C’motion make sense for all age levels?
A: C’motion is great for any grade level, K-12. Students of all ages can benefit from this activity since it provides a workout for both the brain and body.
Q: Is there a maximum number of students per class that can participate?
A: We are able accommodate very large classes—even multiple classes at a time.
Q: So the C’motion equipment arrives. Now what?
A: A C’motion representative will walk you through the set up, and show you how to run the unit prior to your first class. Depending on availability, the representative may also help instruct the first several classes so you get a good feel of how C’motion works.
Q: Do I need a minimum number of students? Is there a minimum cost?
A: We consider a number of variables to determine the minimum cost for your school. For specific details, call the toll free number to speak with the C’motion representative closest to you.
Q: Can the equipment be purchased?
A: The answer is yes. Please check out our Gear Store or call for details. Our equipment is ultra-durable—designed to endure the rigors of continuous use.
Q: How well do the digital platforms hold up?
A: Cobalt Flux Platforms are truly the best commercial grade digital platforms available. The 6EX Platforms included in the Extreme System have a 4 year warranty. If something were to go wrong, it’s typically something minor and can be easily fixed on site. These are American-made platforms and they have great client support. If you do need further assistance, parts can easily be sent to you. If you happen to have a major platform issue, they will replace the defective platform with a new one. We use these platforms in our rental application all the time, so we’ve seen them take a beating year after year. They are proven performers, and have contributed to our success as a business.
Q: If I purchase the system, how long will it take to receive it?
A: Typically we can deliver your C’motion system within 6-8 weeks.
Q: If we purchase a C’motion system what about repairs?
A: You shouldn’t have to worry about repairs. It is a simple, user-friendly design. If there does happen to be a repair issue within the warranty, we will take care of whatever component has malfunctioned. Our first step is to troubleshoot the issue over the phone or make a site visit to identify the problem. If it falls outside of the warranty, we will gladly help you order you a new component, once you’ve approved the pricing. We also can provide service calls and tech support for an hourly fee. We stand behind our products and will do our very best to help you.
Q: What happens if we need parts 10 years down the road?
A: It’s hard to say how different the system could be 10 years from now. We can tell you our rack mount design on C’motion Extreme is a standardized system used in the music industry. We also have made provision for additional space in the event we were to change component models.
Q: Do you sell C’motion systems that you have used in your rental program?
A: Good News. Yes, we do sell previously owned units at a discounted rate. We like to have the latest and greatest equipment available for our rental program, so whenever we upgrade, earlier generation systems become available for purchase. We stand behind our previously owned products and offer various warranty options. This can be a great option for many schools working within budget limitations.
