We at Aradia Fitness appreciate your business and want to continue to offer the quality and variety of classes that often can not be found at any other fitness or movement studio in the Triangle area. Please read the policies below that help us to continue offering our quality classes at affordable rates!

MASKS ARE REQUIRED TO BE WORN FOR ALL INDOOR CLASSES. Studio policies & operations are in compliance with the NC Department of Health & Human Services requirements for fitness & movement centers.

Class Registration & Attendance:

Pre-registration is required for any & all classes you wish to attend. Clients who pre-register are given first priority on attendance; many of our classes have limited space and walk-in clients are not guaranteed admittance to class. Classes are available for registration two (2) weeks in advance of the class day & time. Please note: classes with three (3) or less clients signed up 24 hours prior to class time are subject to cancellation at management’s discretion. Please register in advance to assist us with managing our convenient schedule and small class sizes!

Attendance in our introductory classes are strictly monitored for safety & liability reasons. First-time pole or aerial  tudents MUST first attend the corresponding introduction class and will not be admitted to any other pole or aerial class until this is completed. To advance within our pole or aerial level curriculums, please review our Class Descriptions page or email management. Students with previous pole dance or aerial experience, who are visiting Aradia Fitness for the first-time, should email us at dakota@aradiafitness.com for an email consultation on the appropriate level placement.

Refund Policy:

All sales are final. In the event a class is missed due to illness, injury or other emergency – please contact management directly at janine@aradiafitness.com to discuss rescheduling your class. Expiration date extensions will not be granted, unless due to extreme emergency – expiration date forgiveness may be granted on a case-by-case basis. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the expiration date of classes & class packages as some special offers may have a shorter expiration date than normal class packages.

**EFFECTIVE MARCH 15, 2020 WE HAVE ADOPTED A FIRM NO-REFUND POLICY DUE TO THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF COVID-19. ANY CLASS CREDITS ON CLIENT ACCOUNTS BEFORE MARCH 15, 2020 HAVE BEEN EXTENDED BY 78 DAYS (LENGTH OF MANDATED SHUT-DOWN). CLASS CREDITS MAY BE EXCHANGED FOR ACCESS TO ARADIA FITNESS ONLINE IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WORKING OUT IN THE STUDIO. NO OTHER EXCEPTION REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED AT THIS TIME.**

Late Cancel/No-Show Policy:

Aradia Fitness offers a hassle-free class cancellation policy up to twenty-four (24) hours prior to class time. Any pre-paid class credits will then be placed back onto your account for future use. All cancellations less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the class will be considered a “late cancel”.  Clients who register for a class but do not attend will be considered a “no show“. 

For both “Late cancel” and “no show” events, the following will occur:

Clients using a drop-in class credit will lose their prepaid credit. Students using a class package will have a class credit removed from their current class pass. Clients with Unlimited Membership Contracts/Unlimited Passes will be assessed a $10 fee for each late cancel or no show. Students must settle any negative balances prior to attending any future classes. Thank you in advance for your consideration – your understanding of our policies allows us to continue to offer you our quality classes at affordable prices!

Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of the management only.

Using the Waitlist Option

For your convenience, we offer a “waitlist” option for classes that are full. Clients on the waitlist may be added to class up to 2 hours before class time, in the event of any late cancelations from other registered members. Notifications will be made via email MindBody’s auto-email program; clients should “opt-in” for auto-emails & class reminders from their MindBody account to receive such notifications.

Please keep in mind that signing up for the waitlist is considered committing to attend the class. Clients who are added from the waitlist to class are then held to standard attendance policies, even if added to class outside of the early cancelation window. Therefore, late cancel/no shows may apply if the client no longer wishes to attend class after being moved from the waitlist to the class registration.

If a client is NOT moved from the waitlist to the class registration, no penalties will occur. Clients can manage their waitlist registration online at any time through their MindBody registration portal – if a client remains on the active waitlist, they may remove themselves from the waitlist at any time without penalty.

Privacy & Class Conduct:

Safety and comfort are of utmost priority at Aradia Fitness. Clients are expected to be respectful and attentive in classes. Exercises should be limited to those directed by your instructor. Students who chose to attempt exercises outside those being taught in class may be asked to leave class with no refunds. At times, your instructor may not allow you to attempt a new technique… please understand this decision is for safety reasons as she may not feel comfortable spotting you or she may feel your body is not quite ready to attempt the technique.

We ask that cell phones be turned off or placed on silent during class to avoid disruptions. Please keep conversations with classmates to a minimum. While we love that you are excited to see your friends in class, loud conversations are disruptive to your other classmates and may cause you to miss important instruction or exercise cues from your instructor!

Video and photos are not permitted during class. After class is completed, if there is time prior to the next class, your instructor may allow you to take photos or videos if you wish. Please keep in mind that your classmates may not want to be in your photo or video – it is important to ask them first or to ensure your image does not contain others in it.

Many of our classes simply require yoga pants & a t-shirt. Minimum attire for classes is shorts and sports bra EXCEPT FOR aerial classes – tshirts that cover the armpits and leggings are required for class participation. All intimate body parts must be covered at all times. As students progress into higher pole dance levels students should expect to wear the appropriate attire for safely executing more difficult pole techniques.

Dance shoes are welcome in pole classes level Pole 2 and above – please NO street shoes! Feel free to reach out to your instructor or email us for recommendations on appropriate pole shoes for class. Shoes should have rubber soles and be free of buckles, straps and anything that may potentially damage our equipment. Students wearing inappropriate attire may be asked to leave class with no refunds given.

Our community, country, and world is experiencing a tremendously historic & emotional period. We stand firmly with you against any expressions of hatred. Aradia Fitness has not, and never will, condone bullying, harassment, body shaming, racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexual misconduct, or any other type of behavior that is hurtful to others. Behaviors such as these are contradictory to our company’s core values & inhibit our ability to provide a safe, welcoming space for all persons. We recognize that these are areas in which we as a business, and any company for that matter, can always improve on. Our staff is committed to growing stronger and improving as a team; we strive to continuously identify & address ways in which our team can become more sensitive to these important issues. 

If at any time you feel uncomfortable in class, for any reason, please let your instructor know immediately or contact us after class by email or phone.

Party and Private Event Bookings and Deposits:

In order to reserve your preferred date and time for a private party, we require a non-refundable deposit.  The deposit will be applied towards the total cost of the party/workshop. Any other outstanding balances must be paid the day of your private event upon arrival at the studio. Virtual Parties via Zoom are now available – you & your friends can party together from the comfort of your individual homes. Please visit our PARTY BOOKING page for more details.

PLEASE NOTE: party deposits are non-refundable. We will always attempt to accommodate rescheduling the time of your party within the same day, depending on availability, with no penalty. Due to the popularity of our private parties, a $25 rescheduling fee will be required to move your event to a different date. Any private party cancellations will lose the deposit.  Exceptions to this policy may be made due to extenuating circumstances at the sole discretion of the studio management.

Inclement Weather Policy:

At any time, the studio may chose to cancel classes in the case of inclement weather/dangerous travel conditions. Should the weather forecast be calling for potentially hazardous conditions, the studio will send out an e-mail and post on social media sites as early as possible to alert students to the possibility of a cancellation. Once alerted, we will endeavor to make the call and communicate cancellations a minimum of 2 hours before the posted start time of the class. The primary method of communication with clients is by email – it is the responsibility of the client to ensure a valid email is on their account and they have “opted-in” for studio & class notifications. Clients can also monitor our social media pages for up-to-date notifications.

If the studio cancels classes due to weather, all registrations will be early-cancelled and any applicable class credits will be returned to the students’ accounts. No extensions, refunds, or credits will be given for clients with unlimited memberships.

If the studio chooses to run classes and keep the studio open, but a student chooses not to travel to class at their own discretion, the student should notify the studio as soon as possible prior to class start time. Studio management may then choose to early cancel the student’s registration, at management discretion. No refunds will be provided for students who no-show or late cancel in such circumstances, without reasonable notification to management in advance. For Workshops and Parties, exceptions to the no-refund policy may be made at the discretion of management and with reasonable advance notice.


These policies supersede any previously posted policies and any previously dated policies on written documents including those outlined in electronic membership contracts and may be changed at any time at the discretion of Aradia Fitness Triangle management.
