What happens if I have to miss my scheduled group?
Consistency is key to success. But life happens!
If you need to miss your group, just contact us to reschedule and we will find another time within the current month to make it up. You can come to a Yoga or Fitness class for a make-up session.
Knowing early allows us to offer that spot to someone else who may be on the waitlist, so please contact us at least 6 hours before your scheduled time, or as soon as you know you will miss your class.
Cancelations within 6 hours of class start time are considered a late cancel and cannot be made up. (Emergencies excluded.)
The best way is to text (859) 608-9113.

You can also email TrainMovePlay@gmail.com 30 days or more before your break, and we will take care of it for you. You won’t pay for training that doesn’t happen.
