Rules and Policies
Members and any guests of a member are required to observe and comply with these rules and regulations. We reserve the right to make changes from time to time and these changes shall be posted at the premises.
GENERAL POLICIES
We strive to provide a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment. These rules and policies are in place to uphold this standard. Any persons found to be in violation of these can be removed from the premises and have their membership contract revoked.
No vape or tobacco products allowed on premises at any time. No gum or food allowed while using equipment in studio.
Minors - Minors aged 16 and above are allowed in the studio without supervision of a guardian, provided their parent or legal guardian has signed the required studio paperwork. Minors aged 13-15 may participate in the workout when accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. Guests and members are NOT allowed to leave children unattended in the lobby while taking classes.
Personal Items - We do provide a designated area for your personal belongings to be stored throughout the duration of your class. Use of this area is strictly at your discretion and it is recommended that you use a personal lock. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. Locks and items left behind after class will be removed so the locker can be available for all members and guests.
Dress Code - Proper workout attire for strenuous activity should be worn to classes. No see-through clothing or clothing with inappropriate, racist, or vulgar words or graphics may be worn. Enclosed athletic/running shoes only (no open-toed or heeled shoes or bare feet). If you are refused entrance due to attire, you may forfeit a package session or be charged a no-show fee for missed class. Sports bras are considered appropriate workout attire.
Personal Technology – For the safety of all members and guests, personal technology devices may be used at the discretion of the instructor and at your own risk during classes. If you require a cellular device for emergency purposes, phone should be silenced and calls taken outside the workout area. Texting during class is strictly prohibited. Individuals requesting to take photos/videos between workouts may do so with permission from studio staff, but are prohibited during workouts. Headphones or earbuds are prohibited for safety.
Heart Rate Monitors – We rent loaner heart rate monitors for a fee, which are available on a first come, first-serve basis, with first-time guests having priority. If you borrow a heart rate monitor and do NOT return it, your credit card on file may be charged the then-current retail price of the model value. Heart rate monitors are not required for the workout but strongly encouraged.
BOOKING
Classes are limited in size and may reach capacity. Nothing guarantees your ability to attend class sessions that have reached capacity and for which you did not register in advance. If a class is fully booked, you may be added to waitlist. Please see a studio associate for more details.
Late Arrival Policy – If you are more than 5 minutes late for your class, you may not be permitted to enter the class. This time is to ensure you have a proper warmup prior to your workout and is for your safety.
Station Assignment – Workout stations and showers are on a first-come, first-serve basis. You MAY be able to request a specific station depending on class size and when you arrive or book your class. Please follow your assigned station number throughout the class to ensure a smooth and consistent experience for all participants.
