    If you see a waitlist, always add yourself, you have over a 90% chance of getting in!

    Please make sure to cancel yourself from class or remove yourself from the waitlist a minimum of 3 hours before the class start time if your plans change. We have a strict cancellation/no-show policy. If you do not cancel your class at least 3 hours before class starts, there is a $15 late cancel fee. If you do not attend a class you reserved a spot for, there is a $25 fee.

  • Our classes are very popular and you will often find that a class is full with a waitlist. ALWAYS add yourself to the waitlist AND plan on coming to class. Over 90% of students each week on a waitlist get into their desired class. Please make sure you are subscribed to text messages, as you will receive a text when you are moved into class. If you are not subscribed to texts, you will receive an email and it is your responsibility to check your email for this notification. If you are on a waitlist and change your mind about coming to class, please immediately remove yourself from the waitlist. The latest that you will be moved from a waitlist into class is one hour before class. If you are moved into class from the waitlist and then cancel 3 hours or less before the class start time, it will be considered a “late cancel” and a $15 fee will automatically be charged to your credit card 24 hours after the occurrence.

  • You can cancel your class reservations either by logging into your account on our website or in the Walla app. We cannot process class cancellations by text, phone, or email. To avoid fees, cancel your class more than 3 hours before the class start time.

  • Our booking window for Beyond Flex, Commit, and Yearly members, as well as our Maintenance members is 28 days in advance. The booking window opens to all other pass holders and drop-in clients 8 days in advance. Please note that we cannot accommodate drop-in clients at our most popular class times. Please grab a membership or class card to join us for these classes.

  • Our late cancel window is three hours, meaning that if you want to cancel a spot that you have reserved in a class, you must do so more than three hours before the scheduled class time.

    For example, if the class starts at 12pm and you cancel your reservation at 9am or later, that will be considered a "late cancel." All late cancels will be automatically charged $15. This charge occurs 24 hours after the class that was late cancelled. The charge happens automatically by our software system and cannot be reversed.

    If you do not show up for a class that you have booked and you do not early or late cancel your spot, the missed class is considered a "no show." All "no shows" will be automatically charged $25. This charge occurs 24 hours after the class that was missed. The charge happens automatically by our software system and cannot be reversed.

    Please note that we lock the door at the start of class. Even if you arrive one minute late and the door is locked, it is considered as a no show. We do this out of respect for the teachers and other students. For safety and to ensure the optimal class experience, we lock the door at the start of every class and cannot accommodate late arrivals.

    If you are on a waitlist for a class, the latest you will be added to the class is 1 hour before the scheduled class start time. If you are added to a class from the waitlist and cancel 3 hours or less before the scheduled class start time, that will be considered a "late cancel" and you will be charged per our late cancel policy. If you are on a waitlist, plan on coming to class, and, if you change your mind, please remove yourself from the waitlist.

    Please be extra aware of this for early morning classes. For example, if you're on the waitlist for a 6am class, the latest you will be added to the class is 5am. If you go to bed still on the waitlist and you do not want to get up and check to see if you made it into class, take yourself off the waitlist.

    The above policy applies to everyone regardless of membership. If you are on a class card or a drop in and you late cancel or no show, you will be charged per the policy above; however, you will not lose your class.
