However, because session classes are sold in a unit and taught as a series (for example, Intro to Aerials), attendance is important. For this reason, the following attendance policies apply to session classes:
- If a student misses one class, they may make it up by attending an open gym or fitness class.
- If the student misses more than one class in a session, they must forfeit those classes unless otherwise decided by the management team.
The purpose of open gym is to provide students a time to practice skills that they have learned in class. It is not to have students teach each other or try new skills that they have not had instruction in.
- Open Gym Payment—If students choose to use a regular class punch card for open gym, they must use the entire punch (no partial punches or refunds).
