We have a 12-hour cancellation policy. You may cancel any class reservation at least 12-hours prior to class start time with no penalty and the class credit will be available for you to rebook.
A class that is cancelled less than 12-hours prior to start time is considered a “Late Cancel” and will be forfeited (if booked using a class credit) or assessed a $15 fee (if booked using an Unlimited option).
A class that is booked but not attended is considered a “No Show” and will be forfeited (if booked using a class credit) or assessed a $20 fee (if booked using an Unlimited option).
CAN I SWITCH CLASSES?
If it is more than 12-hours before the class start time, you can switch classes by cancelling the class you are enrolled in and booking a new class time. Same day or last-minute class swaps are not allowed and are still subject to our 12-hour cancellation window.
HOW DO I CANCEL A CLASS?

Step 1: Log into your account either on the Fit Culture home page, studio schedule page or at the bottom of our website by clicking on “My Account.”
Step 2: Select “Schedule” to view your upcoming class reservations. Select “Cancel” next to the reservation you wish to cancel.
