NEW SCHEDULE & SIGN UP POLICIES
It's a new schedule with a new expansion and things are still booming at the studio! A reminder to all, that registration opens 7 days
PRIOR to the class start date. Don't shy away from the wait-list, and make sure when you sign up for class, you are aware of our late-cancel policy.
Have a question regarding our policy? Check out some FAQ from clients below and remember our front desk staff is always available to answer your questions.
Q:
I registered for the 9:15am bootcamp, and the 10:45 am spin, but the first class kicked my ass! Can I cancel my second class after I get out of the first?
A:
Chances are that all of our classes are going kick your ass! That's what they are designed to do ;) If you come out of class and cancel you second class you will have the late-cancel penalty on your account.
Q: If I am on the wait-list and show up to the studio, will I automatically get into the class if someone doesn't show up?
A:
If a guest that is registered for the c
lass is not signed in 5 minutes prior to the scheduled start time and you are first on the wait-list (or the only one from the wait-list here) then yes. If you are signed up for the class, please arrive at least 5 minutes early for class. If you are not checked in 5 minutes before the class starts, we will give your spot up to those on the wait-list who are waiting at the studio. Signing-up for class before-hand does not guarantee your position in class if you are late. If you are going to be late for class, please call the studio so we know to hold your spot.
Q:
I am on the wait-list for the 6AM class, what happens if I get moved into the class overnight and don't see the email until after I wake up in the morning?
A: You are responsible for monitoring the wait-list for all your classes, even the 6AM and 7AM times, either the evening before or morning of. Please treat being on the wait-list as if you were registered for the class. If you know you are not able to attend the class, please remove yourself from wait-list the night before so another guest can attend the class. Tip: People have a habit of oversleeping, especially for the 6AM, so if you are still on wait-list, just roll out of bed and come sweat! A spot has likely opened up, or we have another class going on for you to attend.
Q: I am on the wait list for spin at 12:05 and I have signed up for bootcamp at the same time. If I get into spin, will I have a late-cancel on my account if I cancel bootcamp?
A: We have tried, and it is pretty challenging to be in 2 classes at once;) So yes, if you make it into the spin class (which you were wait listed) then you must cancel your bootcamp right away. You will get a notification at least 3 hours before your class if you got into the spin class. If you do not cancel the bootcamp class before 3 hours of the class you will have a "late cancel" on your account. If you know that you will not be able to access your email for the 4 hours leading up to the class, then it would be in your best interest to cancel one of the classes in the morning before you go into work. Remember 3 "late cancels" or "no shows" and your online sign up privileges are taken away for one month.
Q:
Can I remove myself from the wait-list without being charged within the 3-hour late-cancel period?
A: Absolutely! If you know you can't make that class anymore please remove yourself from the wait-list at any time, at no penalty. The only time time the late cancellation policy is in effect is when you have been moved into class. If you are on the wait-list, please remember that we assume you want to take class! Treat the wait-list like you have signed up.
Q:
I was charged for a late-cancel when I didn't show up for a wait-listed class, but I didn't know that I was added to the class.
A:
Guests are responsible for checking their own online registration. A confirmation email will be sent once you have been added to class. Remember you can always give us a call to check your wait-list status.
Q: I am on the wait-list for the 5:30pm class but really need to sweat today so I also signed up for the 6:45pm in case I don't get in. It's 2:00pm and I now made it into the 5:30pm class, can I cancel my 6:45pm class at no charge?
A: Yes! As long as you cancel your second class before the 3-hour late cancel window you will not be charged. Please make sure that you are remembering to do this, so other guests can enjoy the class as well.
