  • Waiver

    In consideration to My Body Rocks and Pole Rocks allowing me to participate, I acknowledge, understand and I am aware that:


    I have voluntarily chosen to participate in training activities provided My Body Rocks and Pole Rocks. I understand there are inherent risks in all aspects of physical training and I acknowledge that I have been informed that I have been informed by the possible strenuous nature of the training.


    I understand that the training may involve body weight lifting, gymnastic movements, strenuous exercises and other high exertion activities, and that I am not obligated to perform nor participate in any activity that I do not wish to do, and that it is my right to refuse such participation at any time during my training session. I understand that should I feel light-headed, faint, dizzy, nauseated, or experience pain or discomfort, I am to stop the activity and inform my instructor or team member assisting. I give My Body Rocks and Pole Rocks staff of the facilities permission to seek emergency medical services for me should I become injured or ill with the understanding that I am responsible for any expenses incurred.


    In Summary: I understand that My Body Rocks and Pole Rocks is a gym or fitness class with strenuous related activities. I can hurt myself if I do not follow instruction and muck around on the equipment! I agree to follow instruction and listen to the team and not be an idiot! I am therefore solely responsible for anything I do inside the facility.

  • First Time at The Studio FAQ's

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    Please make sure you have filled in our medical form before coming to a class.


    Please remove Jewellery before the class starts as this damages the equipment and your belongings. You will be asked to remove it and put in a safe place if you are still wearing it.


    Do not moisturise as you will slip!


    Wear what you feel comfortable that doesnt restrict your movement.


    Sharing equipment

    Please note, We take 2 to a Pole which is industry standard. Please be mindful when on the pole sharing.

    Sharing works well to give you a break in between training. When students do not share they do spend half the time not always on the pole because of fatigue. 

    Having a pole or hoop buddy really helps give you the break and give a great vibe in the room making it more than just a fitness class!



    We recommend you bring 2 hand towels 1 that can be used to dry the pole and the other to dampen and wipe your hands to help improve your grip throughout the class.


    If you have any injuries that you need to discuss please get in touch with us so we can help advise you.

  • Class Attendance Policy

    Class Enrolment 


    All members are required to book their classes 24hrs in advance via our booking app Groovio



    We request you book your classes in advanced for the month once you receive your credits. By booking in advance, you help your instructor and studio. 


    1) We know what classes are busy and you need more of.

    2) This helps your instructors plan better for your lesson.

    3) This helps to avoid class cancellations.



    Class Bookings Waitlist:

    Should your class of choice be full you can ad yourself to the waitlist. If you have pre-registered into a class and can no longer attend, you will be required to cancel your registration up to 12hrs before the class start time without a credit charge. This is to allow notice for another person on the waitlist to join the class in your place giving that person enough notice to get to the class on time. 

    The system will notify you if a space has come available. Please make sure you tick the box to allow notifications from our app.


    Cancelling your class:

    Please note, If you cancel under 24hrs notice you will be charged a full credit cancellation fee, or if you paid for the class, this will not be refunded.


    Sign into your class:

    The Instructors need to sign you in when you get to class, please make sure to give the instructors your name if they do not know you – just incase the instructors forget to register names (they are human!)…

    Also this will ensure you’re in the correct room! – you don’t want to book a conditioning class and turn up at an exotic class now do you?!





  • Lateness

    Make sure to turn up to class on time! 

    1) If you miss the warm up – we can not take you due to health and safety insurance. You will likely pull a muscle if you’re not warmed up correctly. 

    2) Turning up late to a class disrupts the class! You will take the instructors time away from teaching the group who were there on time.


    We do understand there’s traffic. Please try and leave 10 minutes earlier to help get through it.


    On a serious note…

    IF you do have issues on route, please notify the facebook page or GROUP (there are more instructors on the groups able to pick it up) so the team can prepare for your arrival the best they can. But please note we can not guarantee being able to help last minute, but we will try. Please be patient if you do arrive late and treat the team with kindness as they will be in the middle of teaching. We typically give a 5 minute grace period, but the instructor on duty will determine if they’re able to make time to warm you up. Ultimately it is the instructors decision if they can safely take their time away from the class to warm you up. If the instructor is teaching a skill or strength section. Or major part of the plan which needs their attention, you may be asked to attend the next scheduled class if it is of suitable level otherwise it would be classes as a late forfeit of class. We can not refund this class.

    This policy is to ensure the class runs to schedule, other students are not effected, and run in a safe manner. We value your safety as well as other class members and the instructors time, and we ask for our members to respect this policy and make every effort to arrive on time, if not early to a class. 

    Additionally, if a member is consistently late to a class it appears they are abusing the late policy, the member will be asked to attend the next available class if level appropriate or suggested another class time more do-able for them.

  • Refunds

    My Body Rocks will not provide a refund retroactively for any cancellation requests. 


    We have a no refund, no transfer, no do-over policy.


     It is up to the purchaser to ensure that they are available for the course, class or workshop and that they remain in good health to attend.

    Once you have purchased your class or course we are not able to refund any money or transfer you to a different course or class at a later date.


    Although we are sympathetic to everyone's circumstances we cannot be responsible for events and issues outside our control including, but not exclusively, children's sickness, other people falling ill, the participant falling ill, injuries or travel issues.


    ​It is your responsibility to re-book your class through our App.



    We do not issue a refund if you do not use your membership, nor can you carry over your sessions to the next month if you miss class.



    Membership cancellations are only processed by sending written notifications via email admin@mybodyrocks.co.uk or to the studio admin managers on the Facebook pages.


  • Open Training

    Please note; that your open training sessions are like using a gym. You will be unsupervised and there might not be anybody else on site.

    We recommend training with a partner for safety reasons. 


    Most accidents happen when you loose concentration. Please put a mat down when you are training even if you are professional.

    Training on your own is at your own risk and you should purchase your own insurance to ensure you are covered in all cases.



    PLEASE READ:

    For open training it is at your own risk, please think about purchasing Personal Accident Insurance to cover you incase you gain injury from self training. This is only between £3-8 per month and worth buying. You will not be insured in our facility training without supervision.


    We can not accept liability for accidents for self-training.


    Please wipe down your equipment after use and put anything you use back in the correct places.


    Do not leave rubbish in the studios and please treat the studio with respect.


    No dogs are to be taken into the studio without permission and any mess made must be cleaned up after you have finished training.


    Be mindful of others who are using the space and say hello as I'm sure we all appreciate others being friendly and welcoming!


    RULES:

    Open training is not for beginner students due to safety. Do not book this if you have never done pole or aerial before.
