Here’s What to Know!


Thinking about joining us at Welly Academy? We’re so happy you’re here!

Whether you’re returning to movement, trying strength training for the first time, or looking for a welcoming place to keep moving, we’re looking forward to meeting you.

Here are a few tips to help you feel ready for your first class.

 

Arrive 10–15 Minutes Early

Give yourself a little extra time to get settled, meet your instructor Tanja or Maureen, set up your equipment, and ask any questions before class begins.


Also, we are a friendly bunch.... it won't take long until you're chatting along with everyone before and after class - this is part of the fun by the way!


 Bring Your Mat

If you have a fitness mat, bring it along! We have a couple of spare mats available if you need one.


 Choose the Weights That Work for You

One of the great things about Welly is that you can choose your own level of intensity.

We have a variety of weights ranging from 1 to 15 pounds, giving you plenty of options throughout your workout.


You can work with:

  • Body weight or light weights for a lighter approach.

  • Medium weights for a moderate challenge.

  • Heavier weights when you’re ready to push yourself.

  • A combination of weights depending on the exercise.


Your instructor will guide you through the workout, and you can adjust your weights as you go. The goal is to find a level that challenges you appropriately and helps you build strength over time.

All levels are welcome at Welly!

 

How to Pay for Your Classes

We offer a few easy payment options:

  • Book and pay online through our website.

  • Drop-in class: $20 cash, payable when you arrive. Sign in at the kitchen

  • 10-class punch card: $189 by e-transfer, valid for four months.

Choose whichever option works best for you!

 

Don’t Forget Your Waiver

Please complete your participation waiver before your first class. It’s an important part of getting started with us. Waivers are online or in our sign in book.


Come As You Are

At Welly Academy, we believe movement should be enjoyable, empowering, and part of real life. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.

We’re here to help you build strength, improve mobility and balance, challenge yourself, and feel good in your body. Every class is an opportunity to move, learn, and keep building on what you can do.


Move & Groove: feel free to wear grip socks or indoor runners.

Pilati - Glow + Barre: feel free to wear grip socks or bare feet.
