Policies, Etiquette & Waiver
A few things to know before your first class at Strong on Center.
Cancelation / Package Policy
Classes can be canceled 1/2 hour prior to the start of class. Privates: 24 hour cancelation or charged session. Class No-Shows will be charged class plus $15.00.
No package transfers — once a package is bought, they cannot be transferred between other packages or private sessions.
Please check packages for expiration dates.
Unlimited packs: If you are on an unlimited plan you cannot cancel midway through the term. If canceled prior to the completion of your pack term, there will be a $200 cancelation fee applied. Unlimited packs only include regularly scheduled classes, not specialty workshops. Those are available for an extra charge.
Schedule: Keep your eye on our schedule for changes.
Parking / Equipment
Parking is anywhere in front of or behind 2505 Black Rock Turnpike. We are waiting for parking lines to be painted so please park tight.
Equipment: Mats REQUIRED in ALL Classes. Mat rental is $5.00 per mat. If renting a mat, please wipe down after use. We steam clean our equipment weekly but please wipe down equipment after each use. We have paper towels and spray cleaner available.
Please bring clean yoga mats only. A dirty mat creates a dirty floor.
Water: Always bring water to class. We will have water bottles for sale for $3.00 per bottle.
Waivers / Studio Etiquette
Before attending class, please sign and date the waiver below.
When attending rolling classes in the Dojo, no jewelry or long nails.
When doing mobility work on mats we will ask that you remove jewelry prior to working on mats.
Perfumes — please keep perfume and fragrance use to a minimum. Many people have sensitivities and we want everyone to be comfortable.
We work really hard to keep our space a positive environment. Please no gossip or politics. Positive vibes only.
If you have recently had surgery or are seeing a Dr. for a chronic condition, please provide a doctors note.
