FAQs

Are these classes suitable for me?

(e.g. I am new to exercise, I have had a break from exercising or I have a current injury)

Our small groups mean that we are able to tailor the sessions to who is there on the day to create a workout that is right for them.

We will be able to offer different exercises for each different level, targeting the optimal level for you and your circumstances. This means our sessions are open to all, whether you are super fit and wanting to get to the next level or if you are new or returning to exercise with some trepidation. If you are nervous about training in a group and would like to train one-on-one until you get confident then we offer personal training too, just give us a bell.
If you have a specific injury and would like to discuss suitability then give us a call to discuss, we may suggest the first session as a one-on-one session to get a good understanding of your limits and advise modifications to ensure the group training is safe and effective for you.

How do I book a class / Why do I have to book in advance?

You can book via the timetable page of our website or by using an app called MINDBODY on a smartphone or tablet.

Pre-booking online is essential so that we can prepare properly in terms of numbers and enables us to make sure you get the best possible session.

Booking in advance also bring an element of accountability to your attendance too. From our experience when someone books something in advance they are 10x more likely to show up.

How does the waiting list work?

If you want to book in to a class that is waitlisted, it is always worth putting your name down on the waitlist via the booking system.

If a space becomes available it will be automatically reallocated to people on the waitlist in priority order. You will receive an automated email if you get a space. So keep an eye on your emails (check your spam too).

We understand that at short notice you might not be able to make it, so please email us if that is the case.

If I buy a pass, when does it start from?

Auto-renewing memberships start from the date of the first class you book, not the date of purchase. Individual passes, 5 packs and 10 packs start from the date of purchase and are valid for 3 months.

Where are the classes held?

It is at the top of Sussex Street in Hanover / Queen’s Park. On the corner of Sussex Street and Queen’s Park Road, opposite 72 Sussex Street, then head down the short driveway to the studio.

Is there parking for cars / bikes?

We have off-street customer parking at the studio for 5 cars in marked bays, available on a first come basis. There bike rack for up to 6 bikes and a chain that you can use to lock your bike to whilst you are in the studio.

If parking at our studio please park at an angle on the right hand side as you look at the studio in one of the marked bays. Please park as close to the fence as possible to keep the driveway clear for other vehicles to access or leave the studio.

Other than that, the parking zoning for the area is Zone C so if you have a valid permit you can very easily park anywhere around the local streets. There is also metered parking on streets around the area, and also all along West Drive and East Drive with plenty of spaces generally available.

Please note there is no parking available in the carpark area next to the studio. This is a private carpark belonging to London Name Plate manufacturers.

How long do the sessions last?

Sessions are 55-60 mins long. We also have 45 minute classes at lunchtimes and Wed and Fri early mornings.

Classes start and finish punctually. Each session includes a 5-10 minute warm-up. You are welcome to arrive up to 15 minutes before the start of class to get settled in. If you need to leave a session early just let the teacher know beforehand and we may be able to accommodate that.

The length of workshops held at the studio will vary so please check when booking for their duration.

Attendance varies depending on the class time and type but attendance usually averages at about 10 people per class.

Fitness and strength classes are capped at 16 people per class, Pilates is 16 people and Yoga is 21. You can see how many spaces are available for each class at the time of booking.

What do I need to bring to the session?

In yoga and Pilates classes, please bring your own mat if you have one. We have a few spares available to borrow if you don’t. In strength and fitness classes, mats are not needed.

Also, to reduce touch points please bring your own water in your own reuseable bottle. Please try not to use single use plastic bottles to bring water to class. If you forget we have spare glasses you can borrow

Wear whatever clothing you feel comfortable to train in – its not a fashion parade :-).

What if I need to cancel a class booking?

Our cancellation policy allows you to cancel a class booking up to 6 hours before the class without penalty.

Please cancel (even right before the class) on the MINDBODY app or EFL website. Otherwise, please text Emma on 07555220184.

This means your space can get offered to someone on the waitlist.

If you have a single, 5 or 10 pack of passes and cancel with more than 6 hours notice you will be able to reuse your pass for another class. If you cancel within the 6hr window or don’t attend, the class will be deducted from your pack.

If you are on the unlimited pass and cancel within the 6hr window you may be charged a no-show fee of £4.

Please help us to make use of every spot available within each class.
