Please be aware of the following policies:

  • The cost for a 1-on-1 private instruction session is $100/hour + materials. We have a one hour minimum for all sessions, and additional time is rounded up in 5-minute increments thereafter. 2-on-1 sessions are $70/hour/person, and 3+-on-1 sessions are $60/hour/person. Unlimited access members enjoy 10% off the rate and a reduction of the minimum session to 15 minutes.
  • The calculation of the length of a private instruction lesson is based on your scheduled time, not your arrival time.  Please arrive a few minutes early!  The only exception to this is the case that a lessons starts late because your coach is running late. For example, if your lesson is from 11am-1pm and you arrive at 11:15am and work until 1pm, you will still be charged for two hours, not 1:45.  Again, please arrive a few minutes early.
  • Our cancellation policy for private lessons requires ample notice to be given to us as we turn away others once a time is booked. Appointments cancelled with less notice given than required will be charged for 50% of the amount of time reserved, with a minimum payment of one full hour. It is very unlikely that with short notice we will be able to resell time that had been reserved specifically for you and for which others had been turned away.  The amount of notice needed depends on the length of the session booked as follows:
    • Lesson Duration Less Than Two Hours: 48 hours of notice needed
    • Lesson Duration of Two Hours or More:  5 days of notice needed
  • All private instruction sessions require a credit card to hold your reservation, so please have your credit card ready when booking.
