Purchasing Sweat Sessions

4. Credits and Sweat Sessions are non-transferable and you should not allow anyone else to book Sweat Sessions using your Credits. If you wish to book a friend into a Sweat Session you will have to purchase an additional credit. The only exception to this, is with a SWEAT pack x 12, 25 and 50 credits; which can be used to bring guests under their packs.
5. Each client must purchase and book credits using their own Sweat account, with their own contact and payment information.

4. You can cancel a booking up to 12 hours before the Sweat class time, and retain your credit. If you cancel with less than 12 hours’ prior notice, you will lose your credit (which we operate to ensure fair booking opportunities to all clients).
5. If the Sweat Session you wish to attend is fully booked, you may choose an alternative with remaining spaces. Alternatively, you may join a waitlist for the fully booked class.
6. If you join the waitlist and a space becomes available, users on the waitlist will be allocated a space on a first come first served basis, up to 12 hours before the class. You will be notified by e-mail if you are automatically added to a class.
7. If you are allocated a place on a class from the waitlist, the normal cancellation rules will apply.

If you attempt to switch your class once the scheduled class has already started, or passed; you will not be able to move classes and will be deducted that credit.

CANCELLATIONS: As stated in the agreements, YOU MUST CANCEL A CLASS 12 HOURS IN ADVANCE OR YOU WILL FORFEIT THAT CREDIT. This includes switching time slots and or switching a studio for another Sweat Session (subject to availability) – under the 12-hour notice period. You may cancel a class through, Sweat by BXR app, the online system or by calling us directly.

NO SHOW/ LATE CANCELLATION FEES Any cancellations within the 12 hour period will result in a late cancellation charge of 60QR. Failing to attend a booked class is classed as a ‘no-show’ and will result in a charge of 90QR. In the event of a late cancel or no-show you will be charged the appropriate fee, however you will be re-credited your session.

Please note: these charges are applicable to all Sweat Memberships, unlimited or promotional packs where classes are heavily discounted.

Our waitlist operates on a first come first serve basis – if there is no communication prior to your class that you may be late, and you are not physically present 5 minutes before; you risk your spot being taken as we open up the waitlist 3 minutes prior to the class.
