How to Choose How to Start a class: Drop in? Pack? Membership

How to Pick a Package/Membership or.... Just do "Drop in" Status.

GRACE / STRENGTH / LONGEVITY

Drop in status

This is like ordering a class off a menu “a la carte” at a restaurant.

It is the full price of the class that you MUST have register for because even if it says drop in, it is the way a class is booked to reserve your slot on the dance floor. Weird but true across the world. The space for the aerial apparatus you will be on has to be accounted for without over sacrificing safety. Many places have two people per apparatus. We only book 1 student per slot so you don't feel rushed and have as much room to learn in the time that you need so you get the most out of your $$.

If you go to many different dance or fitness studios this may be the best option, as you plan your weeks activity and drive time based on your schedule you can AL-la-cart your work-outs for what you need. Mage Flow Pole Fitness does have a wait-list, so if a class has a cancellation, it will send you an acceptance. If you are already booked somewhere else, then it can be a hassle to rearrange drive time, leg day or the family care needed. If you’ve already booked a wait list spot at Mage Flow, decline as soon as possible if you are booked elsewhere!

The Advantages of A Pack of classes or a Membership

1. You get a pretty big discount for pre-paid PACKS verses a DROP-IN status at the full class rate.(about $10-15 dollars less per class based on choice of pack).

2. Packs are good for 2-3 months depending on which one you choose. If you don’t use the classes, they don’t roll over past the expiration date. You can use them on rental slots in the studio. Just pay attention to the expiration dates and you are golden. Pack members are responsible for using their credits and no cash refunds are allowed.

3. Packages have add on discounts and do get to schedule progress 1:1s once per 3-4 months. See chart

4. Perks: Any pack or membership gets to “add on” extra classes at a % off the full price, including private 1:1sPerks: You get practice pole slots with your memberships so you can get more done on YOUR time

5. Packages work well for those that have a few weeks to get busy but then get slammed with life. Women use them to motivate themselves into getting into self-care often, with some spending relief. Sometimes planning 2 months ahead can be difficult so they might work better in these instances.

6. Memberships give you more flexibility to be more consistent and, help you get to know instructors and your tribe, hear variable music to develop your personal style & grace and get in a groove for sustainability! Memberships are re-occurring billing for 3 months only. Credits don’t roll month to month.

7. Memberships are cancel-able after 1 month AND you can down-grade or up-gradable the credits based on your training cycle and time with what credits you have left if you miss the cut-off.

8. Memberships also have the flexibility to have arrangements to be paid out weekly over 12 weeks to assist with women's budgeting needs on request and clearance of the Studio!

9. Memberships get regular 1:1 personal journey short progress reports addressing your goals for your needs(not your neighbors!) That is included (a $65 value). Great for women who need private support to keep from getting discouraged, bored, frustrated and fading away to the couch with the ice-cream!

10. Memberships have THE lowest cost per class that we can get you including practice slots so your dollar goes farther and you can sustain your fitness!

11. Memberships: You can text/call for a practice slot if one is not open on the schedule, if your time isn’t fitting the scheduled open practice times.

    

    Personal Preference is Queen here!

You can use all your credits in a week or 2 it’s up to you for both of them

Packs you will need to reload class credits.

Memberships:Use all your credits in 2 weeks when you have the time and add-on extra practice or classes is at a much lower price.

If you struggle to get some self-care/me time done, weekly committing to a 1, 2 or 3 per week membership could help your budget & your “redefining the you that you want to be! plan”.

Pole fitness benefits have been found health-wise & muscle mass wise, by scientific RESEARCH. It is recommended that 2 per week pole fitness sees changes within 6–8 weeks, that accelerate around week 12. Health gains and overall coordination, balance & stamina are obvious by 16–24 weeks…and all these gains never max out even for professionals.

The fun and progress doesn't stop!

In pole, starting out, it is not like gym or yoga (while it is a mix of these & acrobatics), we need to progress as our stamina increases in pole. You can immediately come 4 days per week if you want but, REST days with just a low zone cardio is best, as we hit ALL the muscle groups in 40–60 minutes, not just 2-4 muscle groups like other fitness options.

1. So take a look at the comparisons. Then:

Diversity and Inclusivity Options

Traveling and teaching Mage Flow Pole Fitness has students even from out of state or area with requests that had been blown-off, so we have tried to address them, so no woman gets left behind from getting healthy!

1) DIY or home polers that can't travel to a class regularly will want the Online Only pack. Classes are short and are intense, so your work-out is not wasting valuable time. You will need a computer with a camera/internet. Class times are scheduled by the current student time requests. If these days & time don't fit your nutty schedule, please click over to the Forms tab and give us some ideas. Classes are reviewed and scheduled in 8-9 week blocks so don't wait! If you just want floor sensual work only we can do that as well with enough requests so tell your friends right away and get a class going at your house!

2) Music Requests for a Spiritual vibe with pole fitness is huge in Austin, Texas and we had over 12 requests for these types of classes. The Divine Inspiration classes are available through a pack or anyone can attend. We use SBR music, body fitness/dance moves are a bit more acrobatic in nature but doable for beginners. They are worked in on the usual Sun/Wed days as a women's spiritual perk day and the genre has its own pack of classes.

3) Home polers have their own private 1:1 option as well- (see #1)

4) As were we are located has only had one request from a non-female we are looking for other requests. Interestingly the request was from a very fit 75 year old male interested in aerial fitness. We do private 1:1's for this population at this time to keep women safe due to the nature of pole fitness misunderstandings.
