This is not a boot camp style class. The instructors and staff are not drill Sergeants. We like to laugh (obviously), and strive to make this class enjoyable for all involved. We do, however insist on safety. All instruction and safety measures must be followed by all attendees. Failure to meet these standards may result in ejection from the class with no refund. We are sure you agree that leaving the class in one piece and alive is the preferred result.
Water and coffee will be provided throughout the day. Lunch is included in the cost of your class.*
*Ear protection may be purchased for $3.00 at the class. Eye protection is available to use during the class for a fee of $1.00 (refunded when item is returned)
*Please contact us at least 48 hours prior to the class date to let us know of any physical limitations we may need to be aware of. We will make every reasonable attempt to make accommodations.
*For those of you who are easily distracted, all shiny objects have been removed from the classroom…squirrel!
*Those with food allergies or concerns should bring a packed lunch for their own safety.
*This is a family-run business, therefore children may be present and may distract you with momentary bouts of cuteness-overload. (Especially if our CEO “Cuteness Executive Officer” makes an appearance.) For your own safety, and the sanity of all others, it is not advised that you try to take the blankie from our CEO or attempt to even talk to her brother) Some “staff” members may require naps, snacks, colorful toys, treats, piggy back rides, etc. Please let us know ahead of time if you are willing to provide piggy back rides (this may include rides for Josh, our head instructor.) Sorry…not sorry!
