You can renew a 3-month or 12-month commitment at the rates that apply at that time. If you move to month to month, the current month-to-month rate applies, so your price may change.
Memberships continue to renew until cancelled. Booking windows, pauses and some benefits depend on your commitment. See Pricing for the current list.

Your health and our right to refuse entry
Do not practice when you are sick. You do not “sweat out” sickness. Practicing in the heat can dehydrate you when you need to stay hydrated. Please stay home if you have flu or cold symptoms.
We may refuse entry to our premises or classes for any reasonable cause. This includes misconduct, intoxication, medical grounds, or not following these terms.
Smart glasses and recording devices
Change rooms, washrooms and showers
- Smart glasses are not allowed in these areas. Put them in your bag or a locker before you go in.
- This applies whether the glasses are on, off, or in power-saving mode. Nobody can tell by looking, so we do not rely on it.
- Phones can come in, but not for photos, video, or audio or video calls where others can be seen or heard.
Everywhere else in the studio
- Do not photograph, record or livestream another person without their clear consent.
- Ask before recording starts, and ask everyone who could be in frame or heard. Silence is not consent.
- Anyone can say no or change their mind at any time. Recording stops right away and any footage of that person is deleted.
- If you are wearing smart glasses in the lobby or practice room, photo, video, audio and streaming must be off unless everyone who could be in frame or heard has clearly agreed, as described above.
During classes
- No recording of classes without approval from studio management and the teacher.
- Consent from a few people is not enough. People in class are often lying down, adjusting clothing or in vulnerable positions.
Sharing
Do not post or share photos or footage of other people without their consent.
Accessibility
If you need a camera-enabled device for a medical or accessibility reason, talk to a manager before your visit. We will work out a reasonable arrangement with you.
If this policy is not followed
- Staff will ask you to put the device away or stop recording.
- If you refuse, you may be asked to leave.
- Repeated or serious breaches can lead to suspension or cancellation of your membership.
