BOOKING

Booking an in-studio class::​

Step 1. CHECK OUT our Class Calendar for the month and see which class piques your interest. Our calendar can be found on the booking page of our website and posted on the community board at the studio.

Step 2. LOG-IN to your account on your computer or mobile device. If you haven't already done so, download the branded Deviant app to easily manage your bookings on the go.

Step 3. PURCHASE a Membership or Class Pack. Monthly memberships can be purchased as a one-time transaction and they recur automatically every month. All memberships and class packs can be used to book classes at a discounted rate instead of paying more for a single drop-in rate.

(please read studio policies regarding late-cancellations & no-shows)

Step 4. BOOK YOUR CLASS using the branded Deviant app or via the booking page on our website. All members are required to book their class(es), regardless of membership status. This enables the studio to keep track of how many participants are in the class and helps to manage our waitlists, if necessary.

IMPORTANT WAITLIST INFO: 
When a class is full, you’ll be given the option of joining the waitlist. Members do cancel, so many waitlisted members get promoted into the class. All waitlisted members will be notified when a space opens. Promotion into the class is first come first serve.  If you can no longer commit to taking the class, you should remove your name from the waitlist. If you add your name to the waitlist, you should be prepared to take a class. Automatic addition to class still adheres to our cancellation policy

STEP 5. Check your inbox (or sometimes junk folder) for your BOOKING CONFIRMATION and review the important information, especially if you are new to our Manlius studio location

CANCELLATION & NO-SHOW POLICy

Cancellation:​

  • We have a generous cancellation window! Members have up to 4-hours prior to class to cancel or reschedule their booking without penalty.
  • Late cancelations, less than 4-hours before class, will incur a $10 penalty for unlimited members.

        Class Pack members will lose a class and Drop-in members will be charged for the missed class.

  • It is the members' responsibility to cancel or reschedule their classes! Members can cancel and late-cancel independently on the Deviant app without the assistance of the studio.

NO Show Policy:​

When you book class and don’t show up, it prevents someone on the waitlist from attending and it’s rude. If you don't cancel or late-cancel your booking and then don't show up, you will be penalized for your absence,

  • Unlimited members will incur a $15 penalty for No-Call, No-Show.  If you paid using a Class Pack you will lose a class. If you paid a Drop-In rate, you are still responsible for the cost of the class.

Cancellations made by studio:​

Our studio has the right to cancel class for any reason.

For example, low attendance of less than 3 participants, illness, and bad weather may all result in a class being cancelled. In terms of weather, our studio follows the FM school district schedule. If school is cancelled or delayed in FM, our morning classes are cancelled. If after school activities have been cancelled, our evening classes may be affected.

Early-cancellation credit:

If you cancelled within our cancellation window using a package, your class will automatically be credited to your account. If you paid a drop-in rate, a credit will automatically be linked to your account to use for future bookings. If you do not want a credit and would prefer a refund, you must contact the studio to receive a refund.
