The introductory offer is non-refundable nor transferable and will activate from the date of your first class booking. Clients found to be buying the New Member Introductory Offer more than once will be suspended and charged any additional class costs they may have incurred.
2. A minimum of two people is required for a class to proceed. You will be contacted via text, phone or email 4 hours prior to the start of class should it need to be cancelled and your session returned.
3. Cancellations made -9 hours prior to class start time will forfeit that session. No-shows and absences will forfeit that session. UNLIMITED MEMBERSHIPS will incur a $20 No Show/Cancellation fee for all classes they are absent for/cancel within 9 hours.
4. Payment must be made prior to booking. To book into a class you must either have pre-purchased sessions in your account or pay at the time of booking in the studio.
5. Out of consideration for the teacher and other clients, please don't be late. Please be aware that if you are more than 5 minutes late for a class, your spot may be given to a waitlisted or stand-by client and you may not be able to attend.
6. If a class you want is full, you can sign up for the waitlist.
Waitlist Process:- By booking a class on the Waitlist you are agreeing by default to attend this class if a spot becomes available. A notification will be sent to you via text or email (or both) confirming you have been placed in the class from the waitlist. 
Please ensure your subscription notifications are turned on for this feature to work effectively
How to check your settings
The text message requests you to confirm or decline the class however you are automatically in this class until you decline it. If you do not show up for this reserved spot or decline this class within 9 hours of this class starting, then your account will reflect as though you attended the class (loss of a class pass or charged a $20 fee if on an unlimited membership). 
When it is within 9 hours of the class start time, you won’t automatically get pushed into a class from the waitlist if there was to be an opening. 
You only get put in the class (if an opening is available) outside the 9 hours. This is due to the cancellation window being 9 hours and avoids putting someone in when they may no longer wish to have the spot so close to the start time. Therefore, once you’re within the 9 hour window if you see a space in a class you can go ahead and book it. Our system doesn’t have the capability to automatically send a text to those on the waitlist within this timeframe to see if they would like to book this class.
