Arrival Time
Please arrive 10 minutes before your class begins. This allows ample time for check-in and preparation. For safety and to minimize disruptions, instructors may refuse entry to late arrivals. A 10-minute grace period is permitted, but punctuality is greatly appreciated.

New Clients

If you have any injuries, are pregnant, postpartum, or have medical conditions that require attention, please obtain clearance from your General Practitioner (GP) before participating in classes. Your safety is our priority, and we want to ensure that our classes are suitable for your current health status.
