**✨ HOW TO BE A 5-STAR 3RD-PARTY PLATFORM CLIENT ⭐️**
Booking through ClassPass, Wellhub, or another third-party platform? We love welcoming new faces, but a great class experience starts **before you walk through our doors!** 💪
Here’s how to be a booking pro:
📖 **KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!**
Read the full class description before booking! Every studio and class format is different. Make sure you’re signing up for the right workout, understand the difficulty level, and check for any prerequisites.
📍 **READ THE ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS!**
Know where you’re going and how to get inside! Some studios have specific entry directions that aren’t obvious from the street.
🧦 **GRIP SOCKS ARE A MUST!**
Come prepared with the required equipment. At Creative Core, that means grip socks! Don’t assume every studio provides them for free.
⏰ **NEW HERE? ARRIVE EARLY!**
Give yourself at least 10 minutes before your first class to find the studio, get settled, meet your instructor, and learn about the equipment. Arriving late can disrupt the experience for everyone.
💰 **THIRD-PARTY BOOKING ≠ DIRECT BOOKING!**
Remember, studios typically earn significantly less from third-party reservations than direct bookings. These platforms offer great deals and accessibility, but don’t assume you’ll receive all the same perks, discounts, or flexibility as clients who book directly. Supporting a studio directly helps keep your favorite boutique fitness businesses thriving!
💜 **BE A CONSIDERATE CLIENT!**
Third-party platforms make boutique fitness more accessible, but remember that every reservation involves a real instructor, a small business, and a thoughtfully designed experience. A little preparation, patience, and respect go a long way!
**A little preparation goes a long way toward a better workout for YOU and everyone in class!**
