​

9. CLASS BOOKINGS

​

Bodywise Boutique Wellness timetables, instructors and classes are subject to change at any time. Bodywise Boutique Wellness will endeavour to provide notice when a class is unable to take place for any reason.

​

Members are recommended to book in advance to ensure that a class has space for them. Members can book 14 days in advance of the class. A Member cannot book onto classes that overlap each other. Bodywise Boutique Wellness operate with a "three strikes" non-cancellation/non-attendance rule, whereby three no shows in any 30 day rolling period will result in a one-week advance booking restriction. A Member must cancel a class booking at least two hours in advance of the class to avoid receiving a strike. If the class begins at full capacity, then Bodywise Boutique Wellness will waive this strike. 

​

If a class is full, a Member can book onto a waiting list. When a space becomes available Members will be notified via email. Once on a waiting list Members are committing to attend and can book into a class themselves or could be booked into the class up to 1 hour before the class start time by the member of staff. If Members can no longer attend, they must remove themselves from the waiting list as a strike will be applied in line with Bodywise Boutique Wellness’s class cancellation policy. If the class begins at full capacity then Bodywise Boutique Wellness will waive this strike.

​

Participants booked into class should arrive and be ready at least 5 minutes before class start time. If a participant arrives late, the booking is automatically removed from the class and opened up for other members at the class start time. If the Member arrives late and there is a space still available, to avoid a booking ban the Member must book back into the class otherwise a strike will be applied. 

​

10. MEMBERS APP & CARD

​

A free downloadable app is available for both Apple and Android devices. This acts as an entry key upon arrival to the Club. If required a membership card can be issued to each Member upon joining the Club. Members must present their card for security and verification on each visit to the Club; Members without a valid membership card may be asked for photo identification, and will be admitted at the absolute discretion of Bodywise Boutique Wellness staff.

​
