Studio Policies and Procedures

• No drop-ins allowed. Please sign up online to guarantee your spot.
• Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled class to allow room for everyone to check in and safely set up for class. If you arrive after the class start time you will not be able to attend and marked as absent.
• As a courtesy to other students please plan on attending your class for the entire duration. Arriving 10-15 minutes beforehand and leaving when class has concluded.
• Surfaces (iPad, pens, door handles, bathroom keys, etc) will be disinfected between classes.
• To cover the costs of properly sanitizing our hammocks after each use we offer either a hammock rental for $10 or the option to purchase your own hammock (payment plans are available).
• If you are bringing your own hammock that was not purchased at our studio please let your instructor know so they can evaluate the equipment for safety. Only climbing grade equipment may be used in our studio.
• We encourage you to bring your own mat or purchase one from the studio; however, we do have rental mats available for $3.
• Props (including blankets) are cleaned regularly. You are welcome to bring your own props or use the props available in the studio. Additionally, we offer these props for sale in our studio.
• Hand sanitizer is located strategically around the studio.
• Disinfectant spray and towels will be provided to wipe down rental mats and equipment.
• No video recording during class. Videos are at the teacher’s discretion. We do see video as a valuable learning tool and the teacher will verbalize when the appropriate times are to take videos.

Class Cancellation and Refund Policy:
