Any additional attempts at rescheduling will be futile and the session will be forfeited. We charge a $25 fee for all reschedules (including your first reschedule). This fee must be paid within 24 hours in order to continue training. Clients have 4 months to complete four sessions.

PRIVATE TRAINING NO-SHOW / LATE POLICY

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training. If clients do not show for their final session or have more than one no-show for training will be terminated.

Clients are expected to be on time for training. We do give a 15 minute window for lateness, however if more than 15 minutes late the session is treated as a no-show and is forfeited automatically. A $25 fee must be paid within 24 hours in order to continue training.
