Private Lessons
How to Book a Private Lesson
- Create an iClassPro acount with UMDGC. Go to www.umdgc.com and Create an Account. This will have you complete all important information about the participant and emergency contacts, and have you agree to the terms, waiver, and releases. Anyone without a completed waiver form will not be permitted to participate in private lessons or any other programming at UMDGC.
- Make arrangements with the instructor of your choice for a private lesson timeslot. Availability of staff and/or the facility is not guaranteed and are subject to change. Direct all questions, arrangements, and concerns to the instructor. If the private lesson is scheduled during a time that is not listed on the scheduled availability or during an open workout, the private lesson will be canceled and all fees to UMDGC will be forfeited.
- Each participant attending the private lesson pays UMDGC’s fee ($5 per 30 minutes) to reserve the timeslot. Once you have confirmed with the instructor, the instructor will create an appointment for you if one is not already available. The instructor will then send you an invoice in your iClassPro account. This fee must be paid to UMDGC at least 24 hours prior to the start of the private lesson.
- Payment is made by the participant to the instructor for the instructor's portion of the private lesson. Each instructor has different arrangements and policies, so please contact your instructor directly.
