FAQs & Quick Tips
What gear do I need to buy?

5 Tips for Just Starting Out
1. Park along Halifax Street and adjacent 11th Avenue. Note posted hours & meters if you're attending daytime sessions.
2. Park smart, never leave anything of value visible in your vehicle. At night especially, safer to walk in groups. Never be shy about asking one of our staff to walk you to your vehicle!
3. Arrive 5-10 minutes before class time to get settled.
4. Remember your indoor-only footwear.
5. We don't have lockers; only bring what you need.

Class Go/No-Go Policies
To manage our Team's time, booking cut-offs are typically 5 hours before start time. Drop-In Classes may be cancelled within 2-hours notice if there are less than 3 people registered. The class pass will refunded back to your account.
Holiday Dates
Our centre is closed on stat holidays unless otherwise specified. Please note the dates of your course sessions. These are listed in the booking information or by checking the current master schedule.
I attended a class but I didn't book it
Okay, you're registered and you purchased some Class Passes. You recently attended a drop-in session but forgot to book the session online? No worries--everyone forgets sometimes!
​
We'll assume this is a one-time oversight, so in that case, go to bookings and select "Drop-In Class Pass Adjustment". Your account will be deducted and we'll be all squared up.
Remember to complete your bookings at least five hours before start time for your future sessions.
Refund Policies
All passes, programs and event access purchases are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
Cancellations made at least 8 hours prior to drop-in will be credited back to your account.
