Quotes:

"Choose a penalty that deters repeat offenders without alienating members. So it's not really going to be your best members that you're thinking about with this, you kind of have to think of your worst members when you're thinking about this." [Nick 6:36]

"If you update your cancellations polices, add a new waiver, [or] if you just have studio policies in general…all of these things can be in a waiver called 'your studio policies.'" [Megan, 9:04]

"Call them studio policies, call them studio etiquette, this is how we protect our culture at the studio so we can create a welcoming environment." [Nick, 10:16]
