We are also planning to offer Eastside classes but have been unable to find a location that would allow us to offer regular classes. The private gyms we were renting have gone in a different direction. The community centers don’t allow us to rent. regularly so they are not an option. We continue to offer our summer camps on the Eastside.
What if I get sick or miss the class?
You need to reach out to us via email or phone/text to let us know. If you give us advance notice (at least one hour prior) we will place that class on account for you and you can use the next week or in the next month. If not, we will charge you $10 for the admin work in rescheduling. Just email Trish Alexandar » and let us know the name of the student.
You will receive a code to use for the make-up class, which will allow you to register without payment.
