How to cancel a pre-registration

We get it — things happen. If you cannot attend a class, we thank you for canceling your reservation and opening the spot for someone else. This also lets our instructors know how many participants to expect. 

• Visit ShopRecWell and login.
• Hover over your username in the upper right-hand corner and select "Profile".
• Click the "Program Registrations" tab on the left side of the screen.
• Find the class you can longer attend, click the three dots, and select "Cancel Registration".

We encourage participants to:

• bring a full water bottle
• bring a sweat towel
• wear clothes you're comfortable moving in

Our certified instructors will provide the guidance you need, and our facilities will provide all the fitness equipment you'll need. However, if you'd like to bring your own yoga mat, you are welcome to!

Good question! Short answer: They are only as hard as you want them to be. 

At RecWell, the group fitness classes range in intensity depending on the class, however, all instructors are trained to offer modifications during class. If at any point you require a modification, please wave over your instructor they'll help you out. These modifications can help make an intense workout more accessible. 

For first timers, we'd recommend trying one of each class with a friend, starting with Yoga, and see what you like!
