First Timers

Do I need to create an account?

Yes! All clients must create an account in order to purchase class credits and register for class. To create an account, click on ‘book a class.

How early should I arrive before class?

First timers please arrive 20 minutes prior to the start of class so you can receive an introduction to our studio space, our instructor, and most importantly an overview of the equipment and the workout. We want to ensure your safety and understanding of the equipment. We do ask new clients to reschedule if they do not arrive in time for an introduction. ​​

What should I wear to class?

Plan to wear form-fitting, breathable workout clothes and training shoes. We do not require clients to wear sticky socks on our machines, but you are more than welcome to wear them if you’d like.  If you schedule your 3D Visbody Scan session, please make sure you wear a sports bra and tight leggings for a precise result. 

For wellness sessions (except for Red Light Therapy sessions), we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater. Our wellness sessions are deeply relaxing—you might even fall asleep! A cozy layer will help keep you comfortable and warm throughout the experience.

How old do I need to be to come to Shero Club?

Clients must be 16 years or older. Clients between 16 and 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Can I do the workout if I’m pregnant?

Exercise during pregnancy is generally safe and desirable. Gravity class is slow-paced and low impact, making it a complementary workout for women during pregnancy. All our instructors are trained to help guide our future mothers through a safe and effective workout, so please let us know before class and we can advise you of the modifications. It is advisable that regardless of pre-pregnancy fitness level, you should seek clearance from your physician before embarking on any new exercise regime during pregnancy.

Can I do the workout if I have injuries or health conditions?

We encourage you to consult a trained physician for clearance to attend class. There are hundreds of Gravity moves, and our trained instructors can always tailor the workout to meet your needs. Please let the instructor know of any ailments so they can offer modifications.

How many times a week should I attend class?

We recommend that clients come 3-4 times a week to start seeing immediate results in strength, body sculpting and other benefits. Our workout is designed to work your body to muscle fatigue, so we strongly encourage recovery time. Recovery time is dependent on your own personal fitness level.  For our wellness programs, we recommend that clients come 4-5 times a week to start seeing results in post-workout recovery, pain relief, skin appearance and other anti-aging benefits.

Class Rules

How do I check-in for class?

Shero Club uses a self check-in system. Simply open your SHERO app to view your upcoming reservations. If you’re within the self check-in time window and physically present at Shero Club, a ‘Check In’ button will appear next to your class. Please ensure that location access is enabled on your phone so the system can confirm your presence. There’s no need to check in with staff—just tap and you’re ready to go! 

Self check-in opens 30 minutes before class and closes 5 minutes before the class starts. For example, if your class starts at 12:00PM, check-in will be available from 11:30 AM to 11:55 AM. Please make sure to check in during this window—if you miss it, the system may mark you as ‘no-show’, which could result in a no-show fee or the loss of a class credit

 

What is your policy for showing up late to class?

Out of respect and safety for fellow clients and instructors, all classes start right on time, and latecomers will not be allowed in once the doors close.We are firm with this policy because late arrivals not only disrupt the flow of the class but also miss critical instructions on form and safety. 

First-time visitors must arrive 20 minutes before class for orientation and setup.
Returning clients should arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in and get ready.
Studio doors open 5 minutes before class and close exactly at the scheduled start time. Once closed, no late entries will be permitted.

Self check-in opens 30 minutes before class and closes 5 minutes before the class starts. If you are not checked in on time, your spot will be opened up to guests on the waitlist and your account will be subject to a no-show fee or the loss of a class credit.  Your studio time is a gift to yourself – make time for you!

Do you offer waitlists when classes are full? What is the waitlist cutoff for getting into class?

We do offer a waitlist. As soon as a spot opens up, you will be automatically enrolled on a first come, first served basis, up to 10 minutes before class start time. If you do not wish or intend to take the class, we encourage you to remove yourself from the waitlist to avoid automatic enrolment and a penalty should you no longer be able to make it. You can remove yourself from the waitlist at any time without penalty. Once you are enrolled, our standard no-show / late cancellation policy will apply. Removing yourself from the waitlist will allow other guests who are on the waitlist and able to make it to class the chance to get in. Expect waitlists to move quickly – if you can’t make it to class within 10 minutes of being notified, we recommend that you remove yourself from the waitlist.

How do I check if I am on the waitlist?

To check your waitlist status, log in to your account and select “My Classes.” If you are on the waitlist, you will see your waitlist position. If you do not want this class, be sure to remove yourself from the waitlist or notify us, and we’ll remove you.

How do I know when I’ve made it off the waitlist?

Clients need to opt in to receive email and SMS communications. Clients will receive an automatic email from our system when added off the waitlist and an SMS 1 hour prior to class start time. Clients can also log in to their account and select “My Classes” to see the waitlist and class schedule.

Can I put myself on multiple waitlists?

Clients can add themselves to multiple waitlists as long as they have enough class credits or are on a membership. Please note if they add themselves to two waitlists and get off of both of them, they will be responsible for canceling one of these classes. Monitoring their position on the waitlist can help avoid getting into multiple classes and incurring a penalty fee on one of the classes.
