WHAT SHOULD I WEAR AND BRING TO CLASS?
Wear comfortable, fitted athletic clothing and grip socks. Fitted clothing allows for more accurate form adjustments from our instructors, but the most important part is that you feel comfortable in your own skin. So, you do you, boo. Grip socks help you maintain control of the carriage and prevent slipping (we sell them at the studio for $10 if you need a pair!). And bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
We understand that plans can change, but we ask that you please cancel your class at least 6 hours before the scheduled start time. For single classes or class packs, a late cancellation or no show will result in the loss of the class credit. For memberships, late cancellations within the 6-hour window will incur a $15 fee. No-shows will be charged a $30 fee. These fees are in addition to the loss of class credit.

This system ensures that our most committed members have priority access to the schedule, while still offering ample booking time for all.
HOW DOES THE WAITLIST WORK?

When joining the waitlist, it is advised to treat it as a regular reservation – add it to your calendar and plan to attend. You can remove yourself from the waitlist at any time without penalty, but once you’re added to the class from the waitlist, standard cancellation and no show policies apply (see above).

Yes, of course—your people are our people! Please inquire about adding someone to your account by emailing info@coremvmt.com.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
You will feel something the second you’re in your first plank—our machines really wake your body UP! The soreness after the first few classes is no joke, but you will get so strong, so fast. Physical changes in the body are usually seen after only 6 classes! Mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts will happen often and consistently.
