    You can see a full cost breakdown here.

  • What is the difference between memberships and packages?

    1. Cost. Our memberships offer our best per session rates.

    2. Billing. Memberships are billed automatically every month. Packages are not billed automatically.

  • How do I know if membership or packages are for me?

    Ask yourself “am I the type of person who reschedules or cancels sessions?” If you tend to reschedule then memberships are a great option. But if you tend to cancel then packages might be a better fit.

  • What if I will be traveling and won't be able to use all my sessions in a month?

    Unused sessions will carryover to the following month. You can also contact us to pause your membership if you will be traveling for a longer period.

  • What are Add-on sessions?

    Add-on sessions are heavily discounted sessions for members only. Let’s say your membership is for 4 sessions per month but you use all your sessions before the last week of the month. You can purchase an Add-on so you don’t have to skip your session during that last week keeping your practice consistent.

  • Does the 24 hour cancellation policy apply to members?

    Yes. If you cancel a session with less than 24 hours notice you will lose the session or be charged an Add-on if you are out of sessions for the month.

  • What if something comes up prior to 24 hours before a session but I have already been charged for the month?

    We will work with you to find a time to reschedule so you keep your practice consistent. Unused sessions also carryover to the following month.

  • Why should I have to purchase an Add-on?

    Depending on how the calendar falls some months will have 5 weeks instead of 4. In order to stay consistent you are not going to want to miss a week. The Add-on also allows all trainers to be compensated for their work.

  • If I don't us all my sessions within the month can I roll them over to the next?

    Yes. For example, say you normally do 4 sessions per month but this month can only do 3. That means next month you would have 5 sessions to use.

  • I’m so busy. What if I can’t find time to use sessions that have rolled over?

    If you end up accumulating a month’s worth of sessions just pause your membership for a month while you use them up.

  • Are membership fees refundable?

    No. Once membership fees have been billed they are not refundable.

  • What if I need to cancel or pause my membership?

    Contact us if you need to cancel or pause your membership anytime.
