Do I Need Prior Dance or Fitness Experience?

NO, NO, and NO! You do not need to know how to dance or have any prior experience with any of the fitness classes that we offer. Our experienced instructors will lead you through an entire class with modifications, verbal cues, hands on corrections so that everyone can get the most out of the class. Our classes are designed for everyone on every fitness level. If you feel as if you would benefit from a one on one session to become more familiar with positions and form, we will be happy to assist.

What Should I Wear?

We want you to be comfortable, but because our classes are based on alignment and form, we recommend breathable, stretchy sport clothing that allows you to see the contours of your body. Baggy clothes tend to restrict movement, interfere with equipment and inhibit visual lines. Layers can be good when we start to heat up or cool down the body. As for your feet, move on to the next question!!!

What If I am Late?

We do not allow clients to be more than 5 minutes late as it disrupts the other participants as well as the instructor. Arriving late does not give the client adequate time needed to warm up their body properly for exercise. We recommend that you are 15 minutes early to class to get changed, signed in, fill out the welcome form and get your equipment set up. If you know you are going to be only 5 minutes late, please try to call the studio so the instructor can get you set up with mat, weights etc. If you foresee you are going to be more than 5 minutes late, please make sure to cancel your registration on Mindbody and we will be happy to reschedule.

Are There Showers?

Yes, We Do! This is a full service fitness studio designed with the busy lives in mind! We have 2 showers (possibly 3 if there is a need), private dressing rooms and and 2 toilet facilities to accommodate our clients. We want you to be able to get in for a great workout and on your way to conquer your day feeling accomplished and fresh! Please carry in and carry out your towels and personal toiletries. We have hair dryers for use.

Cancellation - No Show Policies

I know, I know, life happens and I try my best to accommodate cancellations. I have a full schedule to fit everyone's crazy lifestyles in. With that said, please be courteous and cancel out of any class that you cannot attend so someone else has time to arrive on time if they are on the wait-list. If you do not cancel out or no show, I will charge $15 for a missed class or deduct from your class passes. Please contact me directly text. messenger, or email if you cannot cancel in time. 6:30am classes: must cancel by 9:30pm the night prior. All other classes, must cancel 1 hour before class time.

Package Expiration Date Policies

Yes! All packages have expiration dates on them from date of purchase. WHY? I promote healthy habits and motivate you to implement regular exercise in your daily schedules.
