Sign-In
Always sign-in BEFORE class at the front desk, just inside the entrance to SWERVE®'S Private Training Gym.  Pre-payment is required to attend any classes or use the gym club.  If its your first time at SWERVE® we require you to fill out a release form prior to your workout, so please arrive 10 minutes early to do so. You may not begin class without having entirely completed this form, so if you come late, you'll need to use patience and fill it out anyway. Most classes are staggered with at least 5 minutes between, so there's time to settle in and get your spot in the studio. If you plan on taking two classes back to back, please sign in for BOTH classes before the first one.
Reservations
Our studio holds 40 students, and sometimes classes fill completely to capacity. Reservations are recommended for Yoga Booty Ballet® with Gillian on Saturdays at 10am and for all Circuit Training Classes in the gym. You may sign up any time, up to one month in advance. You may even sign up for a standing (repeated weekly) reservation. However, please remember that cancellations must be made with a minimum of 24 hours in advance in order to not be charged for the class. Members may reserve on their class series. Non-members may reserve with a credit card.
Being On Time
Classes begin promptly at the scheduled hour. Please make an effort to arrive early to sign in to class & find parking.  There is a strict cutoff of 15 minutes after class start time for late comers.  For the safety of the students, ensuring proper warm-up and out of respect for the teachers & flow of class, students will not be admitted to class if they are more than 15 mins late.  If you do come late within the cutoff time, however, please be RESPECTFUL of your fellow classmates and your instructor when entering the class and take a spot in the REAR or a spot designated by the instructor. If you must leave before class ends, please notify your instructor before class begins, and do your best to slip out quietly, especially if Savasana is about to begin. Please DO NOT ENTER or EXIT DURING any portion of SAVASANA or MEDITATION.
Schedule Changes
We make changes to our schedule at the beginning of every month so look for them in person on the printed schedule in BOLD type. Each month's printed schedule will also appear on different colored paper. On the Web, you'll see our updated schedule for the following month as soon as we set it. Please call the studio to inquire about whether a SUBSTITUTE INSTRUCTOR will be covering a particular class. SUBSTITUTES will always be mentioned in our evening recording.
Canceled Classes
On rare occasion a class at SWERVE may be canceled. We do our very best to circumvent this by working with excellent substitute teachers and also by having a reliable, trustworthy staff. However, sometimes last minute emergencies occur and an instructor is unable to make it to the studio to teach a regularly scheduled class. If this happens SWERVE's desk staff does their best to notify our clientele of the sudden cancellation, BEFORE the fact. This is accomplished by calling or emailing all students who took the class at the same time the previous week. (Obviously, we can only call or email you if your current contact info is listed in our database--so please make a point of keeping us updated.)
You can log in online to update your info or you can notify our desk staff the next time you're in.

If you arrive at SWERVE for an UNANNOUNCED canceled class, you will be refunded any money exchanged and given one of two choices:
1: You may use the gym for your workout at that time free of charge, or
2: You may opt to take a comp card for that same class with the same instructor at any time in the future, free of charge.

We hope this will make up for the inconvenience you may have undergone in order to show up for a canceled class. Please remember these circumstances are beyond our control and that we are doing our best to serve you.
Special Schedules
You can expect to see a truncated schedule at holiday time. This is to accommodate the likelihood that students and teachers alike will be chilling on Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.

Parking
If you live nearby; walk. It's a great way to warm up and a kind favor to the L.A. air quality. The lot in front has 16 spaces, to be shared by all of the businesses in the building. Metered parking is available on 3rd Street and on Sweetzer for $1 per hour, and free parking is available on Blackburn, weekdays between 9 & 6 for 2-hours. After 6pm several parking spots open up in the back lot, directly behind the building, adjacent to the alley. Do NOT Park in the back lot between the hours of 8am and 6pm, or your car will be towed. View our parking map.

Towel Service
In an effort to conserve resources, we encourage you to bring your own towel for your workouts. Nonetheless, we're happy to rent you a small towel for class, if needed.  Towel service is $1 per loan of up to 2 towels or $5 a month for unlimited service.  Towel service is included in unlimited packages & auto renew memberships.  Please ask for one at the front desk when signing in. Shower towels are available for all clients in the shower room. Our shower, including shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, hair dryer, shower towels, etc. is provided for all SWERVE® clients as a courtesy. If you'll kindly plop any towels into one of our laundry baskets, we'll wash them for next time. Please consider others and tidy up the bathroom, shower room or changing room after you use these shared facilities.

Water, Thirst Quenchers & Snacks
We've got 'em in our fridge, cold and ready to quench your thirst. Drink. Hydrate. Replenish. Its good for you. SWERVE® offers Function Water, a vapor-distilled, electrolyte enhanced fancy brand. We love it, but if you'd rather, we also have good ol' regular Arrowhead bottled water and Sparkletts “Fill-ups.” Bottles of Arrowhead water are $2 & Function Water in the Big bottle is $3. We now offer delicious and refreshing Coconut Water in varying flavors and sizes from $2-$3.50. It helps the body maintain an alkaline atmosphere and a serving contains more potassium than a banana. Water Fill-ups are offered for only $1 for up to 1 liter to anyone who brings their own bottle to refill. In this new era of personal conservation, give this idea a try to contribute to uplifting the entire planet!

Good nutrition can make or break your workout. Famished? Try one of our many nutrition bars ($2). Yummy and good for you, too. (Well, better than a candy bar, anyway...).  Just Tomatoes freeze-dried organic fruit snack packets are also available in a large selection - banana, strawberry, apple, soy-nuts & mango to name a few.  They're packed with nutritional value and flavor!
