Studio Policies

Overview

Hydra NY, Inc., on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries operating under the Hydra Studios brand (“Hydra Studios”), requires adherence by each member to certain rules, regulations, policies, procedures and schedules with respect to its wellness studios (each, a “Studio”) to safeguard the use and enjoyment of each Studio by its members and guests (the “Studio Policies”). Studio Policies may be posted at a Studio, on the Hydra Studios website and/or mobile app, or issued orally by a Studio representative. Hydra Studios may, in its discretion, amend or supplement the Studio Policies at any time, with or without prior notice to you. Members are responsible for knowing and following the most current Studio Policies. If there is any conflict between Studio Policies, the most current Studio Policies apply. Members should ask a Studio representative if they have any questions regarding the Studio Policies. Violation of any Studio Policy may result in suspension or cancellation of membership, without refund.

You agree to abide by all Studio Policies, including the following:

Cancellation Policy

If you wish to cancel or reschedule a booking you must do so at least 24 hours in advance. You can cancel or reschedule a reserved spot by logging into your account on Mindbody or sending an email to team@hydranewyork.com. Your session will be returned to your account to be used at a future date.

All monthly memberships are flexible and renew monthly unless members request to cancel. In order to cancel your monthly membership, members must email membership@hydranewyork.com from their account email address. Our team will confirm the request and account name and ask for a final confirmation. Members must cancel 7 days prior to the next scheduled billing date. (Example: If the next autopay scheduled for April 15th, notice must be received before April 8th.)
