EMBODY FITNESS GROUP EXERCISE POLICIES AND ETIQUETTE

Booking a class
All group exercise classes are available for registration through our online member booking site.  The booking opens 72 hours (3 days) prior to the start of the class.   You will receive a confirmation for all your booked classes. If you have not received your login and password info to book classes, please click here for additional information.

​Cancelling Class Bookings
If you are unable to attend a class that you have signed up for, please cancel your booking online as soon as possible. Even if you become aware that you won't be able to make the class and it is fairly close to the start time, please cancel it. There are members who live a short distance from the club and who may be able to attend on short notice. Please note that there will be a $10 fee automatically charged for members who do not show up for a class without cancelling their booking online in advance.

Five Minute Grace Period
Often there are members who would like to attend a class that is already fully booked. Unfortunately if members who are booked do not show up or are late, this is a disservice to members who are at the club and would like to attend. Therefore, we have implemented a grace period of 5 minutes. Any member who has not shown up for class five minutes after the class has begun is considered to have forfeited their spot and the spot will be available to members on a drop-in basis. If you know you will be a couple of minutes late (no more than 5), please call the club and we will hold your spot.
Late Arrivals in Class 
We understand that life happens and occasionally it's hard to get to class on time.  However we encourage you to do your best to be on time for safety reasons and to ensure that the class runs smoothly for all participants.  We do not allow participants to join a class if they are more than 10 minutes late for class.  If you are less than 10 minutes late, please ensure that you do a proper warm-up and join the class at the back of the class.
