Frequently asked questions
What should I expect from my first class?+
Our 50-minute class is performed on our custom-made, resistance-based Transformer machines. Each class starts with a warm-up, followed by a full-body high-intensity workout, and finishes with a stretch and a mindfulness session for a full reset. Our instructors are always there to motivate and lead the way.
Which machines do you use in your studios?+
Every class is performed on the custom-built KARVE Transformer — our own resistance-based reformer, designed in-house to deliver smooth resistance, precise control and full-body activation. You’ll only find it in KARVE clubs.
Do you offer beginner classes?+
Yes. Our Classic format is designed for anyone seeking a challenge, whatever your level, and our instructors guide you through every movement. First-timers should arrive 10–15 minutes early for a short safety introduction — see our Beginners page for everything you need to know.
Do clubs have changing rooms, showers or lockers?+
Yes — every KARVE location has private changing rooms with premium body-care products, showers and lockers, so you can arrive, train and refresh.
Should I attend class if I’m pregnant?+
Please consult your doctor before attending, and let your instructor know before class so they can support you. If you’re in any doubt about your fitness to exercise, seek medical advice first.
What should I wear to class?+
Wear tight, comfortable, sweat-wicking clothing — loose clothes can get in the way of your movements. Grip socks are required for safety and available to buy in our studios.
Are there any class rules worth knowing?+
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in (first-timers must be on the Transformer 5 minutes before the start for the safety introduction). Grip socks are required, and for everyone’s safety no entry is permitted once a class has started.
What is your class cancellation policy?+
All classes are subject to a 12-hour cancellation policy. Cancel at least 12 hours before the start time and your credit is returned; cancel later, or no-show, and the credit is forfeited (unlimited members incur a late-cancel or no-show fee). Full details are in our Terms.
Can I use a class package at another KARVE location?+
Yes — your membership and class packs work across all UK KARVE clubs, so you can train wherever suits you.
