How far in advance can I book?
Passports enable a 30-day rolling booking window, meaning each day you can book one additional day ahead. Monthly passes include 8 sessions to use within 30 days of your autopay date. Please note, pass classes cannot be booked beyond the current 30-day purchase cycle.
What happens if I am on the waitlist?
You’ll receive a notification via email and text when you’re off the waitlist and placed in a class. You must confirm your spot through the email notification—confirmation via text is not available. Make sure your app settings are updated to receive both email and text alerts. Don’t forget to join the waitlist, as spots often open up!
Should I book if I’m not sure I can attend?
Our teachers may cancel classes due to low attendance. If you’re the only attendee, we’ll do our best to place you in a comparable class and time.
What happens if I’m the only one in the class?
Crazy schedule? Check the app for available spots. If it’s not full, you can wait until a few hours before class to book. Walk-ins are welcome, but spots aren’t guaranteed.
What is the Late and No-Show Policy?
To avoid late fees, classes must be cancelled at least 18 hours prior to class. As a courtesy to passport holders, we provide one automatic monthly exception for the 1st late cancel each month. After that, it’s a $10 late fee. With no shows, it is always $15 even if it is your 1st of the month. For Pass, Pack and Drop Ins, there are no refunds for late cancels or no shows. However, if a unique situation arises, please call and we’re happy to refund if warranted.
How can I cancel or put my membership on hold indefinitely?
We kindly ask for 7 days’ notice before your monthly renewal date to cancel or pause your membership.
Can I temporarily freeze my account?
We offer one free freeze per year, with additional freezes at $50 each. The minimum freeze period is 10 days.
