Read the transcript
  1. 1. Find a class. Pick a studio, a city and a day. You'll see real class times from the studio's schedule. Choose one at least 4 hours away.
  2. 2. Check out once. Check out once on Stripe. The seller's price plus a $3 fee is held on your card. Held, not charged.
  3. 3. Your seller books you. Your seller books you as their guest in the studio app. They have 2 hours to do it.
  4. 4. Then you're charged. Once you're booked, your card is charged. Not before.
  5. 5. Check your inbox. The studio emails you the reservation. That's it. Nothing else to do.
  6. 6. Go sweat. Go sweat. Then rate your seller, so the next neighbor knows who's reliable.
  7. 7. If it falls through. If your seller can't book you in time, the hold is released and you pay nothing. You can also cancel anytime before you're booked.

Questions, answered

When am I charged?
Only once your seller books you. Until then it's a hold. If they can't book in time, the hold is released and you pay nothing.
What does the $3 fee cover?
Secure checkout, payouts, listing reviews and help when something goes wrong.
What if my reservation isn't there?
Tap Report a problem on your booking. We hold the seller's payout while we check, and refund you if it's on them.
Which credits can I pass on?
Credits your membership lets you book a guest with, at the studios we support.
How do sellers get paid?
Through Stripe, about a day after class. Sellers keep 95% of their price; the rest covers card fees, payouts and tax forms. They set up payouts once they've earned, and the money waits until they do.
Why is it invite-only?
We're in early access and growing by invitation to keep things trusted. Request an invite.
