No sharp clips, zippers, or accessories that may damage equipment surfaces are allowed.
If your clothing includes zippers, they must be covered or closed with fabric.

Outdoor footwear is prohibited inside the studio.
3. Personal Hygiene
All visitors must maintain good hygiene.

Each class has its own minimum cancellation time, visible during registration on the website.
By registering, clients confirm that they have read and accepted this condition.
Cancellations can be made online by opening your registration calendar and selecting the class.

If the client does not have an active membership, the missed session will be deducted from the next purchased package.
6. Punctuality
Being late to group classes is not allowed, as it disturbs others and increases the risk of injury.
Instructors have the right to deny participation to clients who arrive after the class has begun.

12. Memberships and Validity
Subscription Purchase and Usage Terms - each subscription type has a specific validity period. It is the Buyer's responsibility to verify the specific subscription validity period displayed in the shopping cart before making a payment. The subscription validity period commences at the moment of registration for the first class. Classes included in the subscription must be used within the validity period; unused visits are not compensated, and the subscription term cannot be extended. The subscription must be activated within 6 months of the date of purchase; after this period, the subscription becomes void. The subscription is registered to a specific individual and is not transferable to third parties. If multiple subscriptions of the same type have been purchased, they are used (activated) in the order of purchase, one after another — once all sessions of the previous subscription have been used or its validity period has expired.
13. Visitor Identification
