Booking 101

How do I book a class? How do I book a class?

We recommend signing up for class in advance to secure your spot. Booking for classes opens 3 days in advance of class time. If it's your first time visiting us, we recommend our 2 Week Trial for $49!

You can book your classes a few ways:

In the One Academy® App (download for iOS or Android)
On our website for OA Leslieville or OA Etobicoke
In the MindBody App

Do you have a late cancel policy? Do you have a late cancel policy?

Any class booking cancelled less than 12 hours prior to the class start time, and no-shows, are considered a late cancel. All late cancellations will be charged a $15 fee.

If you know you cannot make it to class, please cancel your reservation to allow another member to workout in your place!

How does the waitlist work? How does the waitlist work?

If the class you want to sign up for is full, you can add yourself to the Waitlist. You will receive an email notification (or app notification if you have the app) to let you know you made it off the Waitlist and into class!

If you decide to book another class, please cancel your waitlist spot.

TIP: The waitlist locks 12 hours before the class, so if you have not been automatically added to class by then, check back as spots become available with cancellations!
