how do i schedule a class?

We utilize Mindbody to schedule classes and manage your passes and membership.

You can schedule your classes on our website under the Classes tab OR for quick and easy access to the schedule and your passes, download the Mindbody application via the iOS app store or Google Play store.

Once you've downloaded the Shine Fitness Studio application, create an account to login. If you have previously purchased a pass with us, use the same full name, e-mail address, and phone number you used to purchase your pass.

Under the Schedule tab, you can view our schedule of classes and book your class with us. 

Under the Profile button you will see any passes that you've purchased. If you are unable to see the passes please make sure that you've confirmed your email address and that your full name, phone, and email match what we have in the system.

Still having issues seeing your passes? Give us a call at 817.756.1313. 

I am waitlisted, How do I know when I've made it into class?

When classes are full, you have the option to add your name to the waitlist. The waitlist allows us to automatically add you to class if someone is unable to make it to class. If you are on the waitlist, EXPECT to come to class. The late cancel/no-show policy applies if you are added from the waitlist and cancel within the 12 hours or do not show up to class.

We add students from the waitlist up to two hours prior to class start time. You will receive a text and/or email when you are added to the waitlist, as long as your "Reminders and schedule changes" notifications are turned ON.

To receive Reminders and Schedule Changes notifications:
1. Login to your Mindbody account (desktop version). 
2. Navigate to the "My Info" tab.
3. Check Email and/or Text to receive under "Reminders and schedule changes"
4. Click the Save button.

Of course!! That's why you come to class - to gain upper body strength :) We'll provide modifications along the way to help you build strength and body awareness.

Not at all! We'll provide modifications along the way to help you build flexibility. We start every class with a warm up and stretch to ensure you're muscles are ready to move.

SOMETHING CAME UP AND NOW I CAN'T MAKE IT TO CLASS. WHAT DO I DO?

If you are no longer able to take class, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible. You may cancel via the Mindbody application, online, or by calling the studio.

This will allow for someone on the waitlist to join class.

Please take note of our cancellation policy and fees associated.

Early Cancellations for Class Registration
You may cancel 12 hours before class start time with no penalty. Your pass will be added back to your account to be used before the pass expiration date. For example:
    - If your class starts at 7:30 pm, you will need to cancel your reservation by 7:30 am

    - If your class starts at 12:30 pm, you will need to cancel your reservation by 12:30 am.

The class roster will lock and not accept any more registrations for that particular class 30 minutes prior to class start time. Those on the waitlist will be notified of any open spots 2 hours before class start time. If you are unable to sign up for a class due to locking times, please text message or call the studio at 817.756.1313 to book.

Late Cancellation & No Show Fees
Failure to cancel your class 12 hours prior to class start time OR not showing up for class will result in a loss in a pass for pass holders plus a $15 fee or a $15 fee for unlimited memberships. Fees will be charged to your card on file the day after your late cancellation/no show.
