Arriving in time for your class
We kindly ask customers who have booked into a class to swipe attendance at reception at least 5 minutes prior to the class starting, to allow enough time to get the studio and get set for your class starting. Please note, if you do not swipe your attendance in this time frame, you may lose your space due to a customer on the waiting list.

There is no charge to book onto the waiting list but if you then get booked into the class you will have to pay to confirm your place.
Waiting list email alerts
We send out emails throughout the day alerting you to any spaces that have become available in the classes that you’re on the waiting list for. The email will contain a link you can click on to automatically book you into the class and prompt for payment if required.

Fitness class cancellations and charges
