3 tips to get into our fully booked group fitness classes

We’re beyond excited that you guys are loving our group fitness classes as much as we do!  So much so, that quite a few of our classes are fully booked with waiting lists! So, here are our tips to increase your chances of getting into the class you want to go to. 

Spin class at the UC RecCentre
1. Set a reminder 

Our classes open for booking at 6am, 7 days prior to the class day.  For example, if the class is on Monday, it will be available to book on the Tuesday preceding it.    You can set a reminder in the app, by finding the class and hitting the little bell -make sure you have your notifications on! To double down, you could set an alarm in your own phone as well of course! 

2. Join the waitlist 

When the class is full, hit the button to join the waitlist.  Make sure your notifications are turned on.  When someone cancels (and there’s always a few who change their mind during the week), you will be sent a notification that a place has become available. It’s fastest finger wins – so if you’re first to respond, you’re in! 

3. Turn up anyway and try your luck 

We cut off cancellation options 30mins prior to class start time.   This is so others can have the time to get here if a spot does become available.   BUT sometimes people don’t get that cancellation in, meaning there is actually a space available. There are often 1-2 (sometimes four!) spare bikes in spin, even though it’s full and has a waitlist! So, bring your gear and ask the instructor if there’s space, and you never know your luck! If there isn’t, we usually have other classes available at the same time for you to attend, or you could have a gym workout. 

 Don’t forget to check out the booking system page for more helpful hints and info on the booking system and cancellation policies. 

See you soon!
