Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to pre-register?

Be sure to add a family member if you are signing up someone else for the class. If you are signing up more than one person for a class you will need to add the other person(s) to your Mind Body as a family member. Then be sure to add each person to the class. If you do not do this you will not have spots reserved for everyone in your group.
If the class is full can I still get in?
No, our class sizes are limited for safety reasons, equipment availability and space in the arena. If the class is full you may sign up for another day/time.
The class, day and time I want is full, what can I do?
