  • Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of class to get checked in and to set up any equipment.
  • If you arrive more than 5 minutes after the start of class, your reservation will be forfeited. 
  • If you need to cancel your class reservation, you should do so on your My RecWell portal up to 1 hour prior to class time. Failure to cancel reservations may result in loss of class access.
