Member Note: Starting July 19th, 2025, we will be instituting a $10 no-show fee for LMS members who don't show up for the classes they sign up for. These fees will be charged to the card we have on file. This fee is being implemented due to a pattern of members not showing up to our classes. Our classes have a limited number of slots and we want to serve as many attendees as possible.
