⚡Phew! We’re halfway through January, and classes fill up fast! If you know you can’t make your session, please cancel at least 2 hours before, so someone else can enjoy the space 😊

💫It’s a small act of kindness that makes a big difference for everyone😄

🧡Heading to a class that needs equipment (like BodyPump, Spin/Sprint or GRIT)?

⏰Arriving 10 minutes early gives you time to set up and ask for a hand from your instructor if needed

💫Allow yourself a little extra time to check in too, so you can start your workout stress-free ⭐
