Bookings & Cancellations

How do we book classes?

You can either book via the website here, or use our Apple or Android booking app. Here, you can sign up as a member, view the timetable, purchase credits or memberships, book classes, amend bookings and visit our store.

Can I book a one off class with a friend, without purchasing a Credit Pack or Membership?

Yes ! Our Plus One Pass allows you and a friend to visit the studio for £45, without committing to a Credit Pack or Membership.

Just purchase the pass via our website or app, and message us to book your spots. Subject to availability - there must be 2 spaces available in order for you both to be able to book in.

How far in advance can I book?

You can view the timetable up to 4 weeks ahead and book classes up to 3 weeks in advance.

If I am a member, can I book for the next period in advance? When will I get the Credits to do that?

If you have monthly membership, you will have the Credits for the current period, as well as access to the Credits for the next period in your account so you can book classes in advance. The Credits for the next period will only appear in your account as soon as you attempt to book a class in the next monthly period via the timetable.

How does the waitlist work?

If a class is full, you can join the waitlist. If someone cancels and a space becomes available, everyone on the waitlist will receive an email notifying them. The first one to book onto the class will get the slot.

Booking this way allows you to join multiple waitlists at once without the worry of using too many Credits, or the worry of being booked onto a class at short notice if you can no longer attend.

Can I purchase additional Credits if I am on a rolling membership?

Yes! Normally a one off class would cost £25, but for members, you only pay at the rate you are paying on your plan. E.g. members on the 8 class per month plan pay £17 per class, so if you use your credits for that period and would like to book an extra class, you will benefit from a discounted rate of £17 instead of £25.

Once you run out of Credits, you will see the cost of the class as the reduced price in the timetable when booking, rather than 1 Credit.

What is the cancellation policy?

For classes, 12 hours notice is required to cancel to avoid losing the credit. Classes can easily be amended/cancelled in the booking section of the app.

For memberships, 30 days notice is required via email.

What is the lateness/no show policy?

We advise that you arrive to class at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. If you are over 5 minutes late, you will be unable to attend the class and will lose the Credit. Please also note that if you fail show up for class, you will lose the Credit.

Pre & Post Natal

Can I attend normal classes if I am pregnant?

If you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, you are welcome to attend our Beginner classes but please let us know in advance so we can let your instructor know and they can make necessary adjustments for you.

If you are in your second trimester we advise you attend our pre natal classes. You are still welcome to attend Beginner classes if you have done Reformer before however not all of our instructors hold the pre/ post natal qualification so please ensure we are made aware in advance so we can advise you/ ensure you are in the correct class.

If you are in your third trimester please attend our pre natal class (Reformer Bump).

Your safety is our priority so if you arrive at a class that is unsuitable for you without prior conversation you may be unable to attend and lose your Credit.

Are Post Natal Classes suitable for me?

You are welcome to attend our post natal classes as soon as you have had clearance from your doctor. Babies up to the ages of 12 months are welcome to join you but please feel free to attend alone.

What should I bring to the Post Natal Classes?

We advise all mums to bring a baby seat with them so baby is nice and comfy while you exercise. We have limited storage so request that you avoid bringing prams, and a foldable buggy only if necessary.
