Refunds

We require notice one week (seven days) before a class starts to process a refund minus $15 admin fee.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by class cancellations. While we try our best to minimize cancellations, a range of factors can lead to class cancellations, including trainer illness, COVID-19 restrictions and not meeting our minimum numbers for the class to run.
