2. Indoor, Outdoor & Online Sports Courses (The Bodyworkers® GmbH)

2.1 Service Offering

The Bodyworkers® GmbH offers a studio for yoga, pilates, and group fitness training. The current program can be found on our website at www.the-bodyworkers.de. Program changes are reserved. Participation in the training sessions can occur:

  • By paying for single sessions
  • By redeeming credits on class pass cards
  • Through subscriptions with fixed terms
  • Through partner portals (Urban Sports Club, Wellhub, Wellpass, Eversports, etc.)

Participation in classes is only possible with prior booking through our website (Fitogram), Eversports, or the partner portals. The general terms and conditions of the partner portals also apply to bookings made through them.

The Bodyworkers® GmbH also offers training in the health and fitness sector.

The studio can also be rented for full-day events, workshops, photo shoots, etc.

2.2 Booking

2.2.1 Class Pass Cards & Subscriptions
Participation in a class session can be done by redeeming a credit on a digital class pass card or a subscription. A credit will be deducted from the contingent for each class session attended. The costs for class pass cards and subscriptions are listed on the homepage. They can be used for all classes on the current schedule. Livestream-only class pass cards can only be used for livestreams. Studio spots can be booked subject to availability. Possession of a class pass card or a subscription does not constitute a right of priority. We recommend booking studio classes in advance.
The validity of the class pass cards is visible in the personal account. After the expiration of the validity, The Bodyworkers® GmbH is not obliged to accept balances of unused sessions.

2.2.2 Partner offers
If you book our courses via a partner portal (Urban Sports Club, Wellhub, EGYM, Eversports, etc.), a contract is concluded between the participants and the partner portal. The partners' terms and conditions apply. We have no influence on availability, bookings or cancellations in the partner platforms. If you have any questions or technical problems, the partner is the only contact person. Participation with us is only possible if a valid check-in can be shown at reception. Further details about the conditions of participation via partner programs are explained in more detail in our FAQ.

2.2.3 Late Cancellation and No-Shows
The participant is obliged to cancel their spot immediately if they cannot attend. Our cancellation deadlines apply. For late cancellations or no-shows, the following rules apply:

  • Class pass card / subscription: The used credit will expire.
  • Unlimited subscription: A warning will be issued for the first time. From the second time onwards, a penalty fee of €5 for late cancellations and €10 for no-shows will be charged.

2.2.4 Waiting List

If a class is fully booked, the participant can book a spot on the waiting list. By booking a spot on the waiting list, a credit is reserved. If a spot becomes available, the participant will automatically move up and be notified immediately by email. As moving up can occur at very short notice, the participant is obliged to cancel the waiting list spot if attendance or participation is no longer possible.

There are no deadlines for cancellation from the waiting list, and the credit will be credited back. If the participant cannot move up because no spot becomes available, the credit will also be credited back.

2.2.5 Training
Participation in training programs is achieved by making a binding booking on our website. Booking a training course is binding when the registration form is submitted. The participant receives confirmation of receipt of the booking from us by email. If a training course is fully booked, there is the option of reserving a place on the waiting list without obligation. The participant will be contacted by us as soon as a place becomes available.

A studio rental can be requested via studio@the-bodyworkers.de. Once all details have been clarified, the customer will receive a payment confirmation by email.
