At least 30 minutes before the start of class, you will receive an email from FitGrid (hello@fitgrid.com) with a personalized link to enter the class waiting room on Zoom.
You will be able to join the class 10-15 minutes before it begins where you will be greeted by an Ailey Extension manager to assist you in the waiting room.
We recommend downloading the Zoom app on your computer before your first class, however, there is no need to create an account with Zoom.
The class link will be emailed to you from hello@fitgrid.com within an hour before class. We ask that you please be sure to check your spam and promotions folders as well as double-check your MindBody account to make sure you are enrolled in the correct class and your email is listed correctly in your account.
If you are still unable to locate the email, you can email extensiondesk@alvinailey.com with the subject line "Online Class Link Help" for assistance.
If you cancel your reservation online up to 10 minutes before the class start time, the money will be returned back to your account to take another online class.
To cancel a reservation, log in to manage your account, navigate to "My Schedule" and click "Cancel" next to the class you to do not want to attend. You will receive an automated email confirming your cancellation.
If you cancel within 10 minutes before the class start time, your spot is forfeited and you lose the class. Late cancellations and no-shows cannot be refunded.
It is up to you! Your sound will be automatically muted upon entering the meeting and we ask that you stay muted unless necessary to allow for the instructor to be heard.
You can choose to hide your video upon entering or turn it off at any time throughout the class.
Zoom is user-friendly! When you enter the meeting, an Ailey Extension manager will be there to assist you with questions and issues. Simply click on the "chat" button at the bottom of your screen and when the chat box appears, you can message the manager.
Yes. Follow these steps:
- Make sure the person you are buying a class has an Ailey Extension Mindbody account (to create an account for a family member, click the 'Profile' section in 'My Account' and select 'Add Family Member').
- Find the desired class in the schedule and select the “Sign Up Now” button and log-in to your account when prompted. Once you are logged-in you’ll come to the Make a Reservation screen where you will have the option of making a reservation for ‘Myself’ or for ‘Someone Else’.
- Enter the name of your friend/relative in the search bar. The ‘Pay for this client?’ box will always remain checked. Since packages may not be shared, even if you have a class card, you will not have the option of using any of your packages to sign another client into class. You must purchase a new class for the requested client.
- Select the pricing option and add to cart.
Please note that there are no refunds or exchanges, and all classes are non-transferrable and may not be used by another client. You may ‘early cancel’ yourself out of a class up to 1 hour before the class starts.
