General Terms & Conditions and Indemnity Waiver

Cancellations and Refunds ⚠

1. You can cancel up to 24 hours before your private class and receive a full refund. Private classes require at least 24 hours cancellation notice for you to receive a full refund. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your class, you will still be charged.

2. Packages are non-refundable. If you do not use all of your classes from a package you will no longer be entitled to them once the package has expired. Packages and gift certificates generally expire after 30 days.

3. Online classes, courses and pole workshops are non-refundable. Online classes can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. If you fail to reschedule less than 24 hours before your online class, your class credit is treated as used.

Late policy ⴵ

1. If you are late to a private class or shoot, I completely understand, and you are entitled to the time remaining in your session. However, you will not be entitled to a refund and running over time is entirely discretionary to the instructor. Please inform us if you are running late so that we know what time to expect you. If you do not show for a class you will still be charged the full class price.

2. If you are late to a pole course you will only be allowed in at the instructor’s discretion if you have not missed the warmup (roughly more than 10-15mins late). This is in the interest of your safety as it can be dangerous to join in if your body is not prepared for the class ahead. Please be respectful if your instructor does not let you into a class late as they will be exercising their best judgement to keep you safe.
