We require a minimum of three people for a class to run, and class bookings indicate to us whether a class is able to go ahead.

Booking ahead also gives you the added benefit of receiving email notification about class changes. If a class is cancelled, you'll get an email and save yourself a trip to the studio!

If a class is 'Waitlist Only', it means the class is fully booked. However, you can put your name down on the wait list by clicking on the 'Sign Up' button.

Our system requires your account to have a current Studio Pass in order to be put on a wait list. This allows our system to automatically deduct a class from your account if you are moved from the wait list onto the class list.

When someone on the class list cancels their booking, our system automatically moves the next person from the wait list onto the class list. You will then receive an email notification to let you know you are on the class list.

If it doesn't say 'Waitlist Only' and there is no 'Sign Up' button, this means the class and wait list are full.
