Question 1

How do I check which studio my class is at?

Accepted Answer

We have multiple studio locations, so it’s important to check which studio your class is booked at before you arrive.
You can find your studio location in your booking confirmation. You can also check the class details on our website, where you’ll find a map and directions to the correct studio.
Always check your booking before heading to class to make sure you’re going to the right location.
If you’re still unsure, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help!

Question 2

What facilities are there at Balham?

Accepted Answer

Toilets, showers, changing rooms and lockers, with toiletries available in the changing rooms.

Question 3

How do I book a class?

Accepted Answer

Create an account, buy the credits you want at the studio you want, then choose your class and time on the schedule. Pick your spot and book — you will get an email confirming it.

Question 4

Do you offer a trial class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New members start with 3 classes for £49. Create an account, buy the intro offer on the pricing page, then book any classes that suit you.

Question 5

When should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Ten minutes before your class starts. That gives you time to check in, put your things away and meet your instructor.
Any earlier and a class may still be running with the doors locked. Classes start promptly — the safety briefing and warm-up begin straight away, which is why we cannot let anyone in late.

Question 6

What if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Cancel more than 12 hours before your class, through the app or the website, and there is no charge.
Inside 12 hours the class is charged for. See our terms for exactly how that is applied.

Question 7

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Something you can move in, and water.
Grip socks are required for all reformer classes. If you do not own a pair, you can buy them at the studio for £20 or with reward points. Socks are required for barre, and towels for all hot classes — those can be bought or hired on site for £1.

Question 8

Is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

Sixteen for standard reformer classes. Dynamic and Bounce are eighteen and over.

Question 9

I am not fit. Will I be able to do it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A basic level of fitness helps but is not needed, and this is the class people come to after years of not training.
The resistance is set by the springs, so the same exercise can be gentle or hard depending on how your machine is set up — and yours is set up for you.

Question 10

Can I come if I am pregnant or recently gave birth?

Accepted Answer

Embrace is our dedicated pre and post natal class, on both reformer and tower.
Foundations and Signature are also suitable, but tell the instructor you are pregnant before class starts. We do not recommend Dynamic, Bounce or Barre, which are too intense for pre or post natal.

Question 11

I have an injury. Should I still come?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, and reformer is often recommended for exactly that reason — but tell your instructor before class, not during. If you are under the care of a physio, check with them first.

Question 12

What if I am running late?

Accepted Answer

We cannot admit anyone once class has started. The safety briefing and warm-up happen in the first few minutes, and going onto a reformer without them is not safe.
If you are not going to make it, cancel as early as you can.
