FAQ
Some more information that might help you
How do I start?
Check our classes calendar and choose the class date and time that fits you best. Come to the gym 10 to 15 minutes earlier so we can arrange a uniform for you to try it out. You can try a few classes free of charge until you are 100% sure that you want to commit with it. At that time you can purchase your own uniform and sign up for a membership.
Can I watch/ try a class?
Absolutely!! Come 15 minutes before the class starts so you can fill up a waiver and we can set you up with a uniform so you can try or if you prefer, join some parents and watch a class so you can have an idea of how our classes are.
