Credits

How does the credit system work?

Credits are Gymtastics GymTools’ very own currency. Purchase credits and spend them whenever you download a file. For more information click here.

How do I find out in dollars what a product costs?

Think of each credit being worth a dollar. However, the more credits you buy the less each credit costs, which allows you to save money. We sell our products world wide and PayPal will automatically do the conversion rate for you during the purchase process.

Can I buy products without purchasing credits?

You can only purchase our products using our credit system. Simply go to our credit system page and purchase the amount that is suitable for your needs. It’s simple, fast and easy.

Can I buy credits without having to purchase a monthly subscription?

Yes. Credits can be purchased for as little as 75 cents each (25% discount). The more you buy, the more you save! On top of that you can buy an extra 50 or 100 credits monthly at a 50% discount! That’s only 50 cents per credit! When you combine the credit purchasing options available along with our product package bundles, the savings really start to add up.

What is the Monthly Credit Program?

Sign up to our Monthly Credit Program and you can choose between receiving 50 or 100 credits every month at a 50% discount! This is a great way to add further savings to the variety of Credit Packages we offer. You can cancel at any time.
