Loyalty Cards

I have wanted to introduce a Loyalty Scheme for some time to thank so many of my regular students for their support, so am really pleased that it is finally here! If you have not already received a card, you can collect one from the studio. You receive a sticker for every class you attend, or £15 you spend on a single visit. When you receive 10 stickers you can collect a £15 voucher to use against a class or goods. I hope you enjoy collecting your stickers and collecting your reward.
