  3. the full cost of the Credits purchased, less the value of credits used within the Cooling Off Period, if they are not a Member.

7. BOOKING A CLASS

You can check availability and book Classes in advance online via our Website. When you book a Class, one Credit will be deducted from your User Account unless otherwise stated on the website.
We make every effort to ensure that there are a suitable number of Classes available at different times of the day. However, Classes are subject to availability and we do not guarantee that spaces will be available in any given Class, even if you have sufficient Credits in your User Account.
If the Class you wish to attend is fully booked, you may choose an alternative Class with remaining spaces. Alternatively, you may join a waitlist for the fully booked Class.
If you join the waitlist and a space becomes available, a Credit will automatically be deducted from your User Account and you will be automatically added to the Class up to 2 hours before the start. You will be notified by e-mail and/or text message if you are automatically added to a Class.
Waitlist entries will automatically be allocated when a seat becomes available, up until 2 hours before the Class start time – please ensure that you remove yourself from the waitlist if you don’t think you’ll be able to make it to a Class on time. You can cancel your waitlist at any time up until they are allocated for a full refund. If a space becomes free within 2 hours of the start time, all remaining customers on the waitlist will be sent an email asking if they would like to accept the booking. In order to do this, customers need to click on the link in the email to book a spot in the Class. This is allocated on a first come first serve basis.
If we cancel a Class, your Credit will be refunded unless otherwise stated. We will notify you of this via email or telephone call.
Non Members can book up to four people into a Class using their Credits at the rate of one Credit per person. Members can book up to two people into a Class using their Credits at the rate of one Credit per person.
