Why is Q2 Autoship running? My facility is closed and we never launched Q1.

While learning the new moves and connecting over our favorite workouts can help to keep us all motivated, we also understand that these are unique times for everyone in the fitness industry. We’ve heard many of you can’t wait for your new release(s), while others would prefer to skip this round. We’re offering the Q2 releases while making it easy to skip, so you can have the choice in what’s right for you.

When my facility opens are we to launch the Q1 or Q2 release?

Although this is ultimately a choice with your club, we recommend facilities focus on the Q1 release when they plan their reopening events. Since we’ve allowed instructors to skip Q2 releases not all instructors may be able to participate in the launch if they haven’t purchased the release. Those instructors that have purchased Q2 can work it into their schedule when they and their members are ready.

Can I stream this Releases while my gym is closed?

The music in the releases is licensed music so we can offer the hottest music from the best music houses. This is not the royalty-free music offered on the Live Streaming options. We have great partnerships with music artists and publishers that we simply have to respect, so the release cannot be streamed or recorded.

I am about ready to go out of compliance, do I have to purchase this release?

We understand that many instructors who have taken a break previously will not currently be back to teaching, as a result, this release does not count toward your compliance. You will stay active until Q3 autoship or when clubs have reopened if that is after Q3 autoship in September.

How does Skipping Q2 releases impact my compliance?

Skipping Q2 will not count against your compliance requirement. If you are about ready to go inactive you will stay active and you will still be able to go on hold in the future.

Please check with your local Market on the Quarterly Webinars and education being offered in your region.

I’ve been on hold previously can I still skip a release?

You can still skip this release, even if you’ve been on hold previously. Knowing that clubs are currently closed we understand that you may not be teaching and want to offer as much flexibility as possible.

How will skipping Q2 releases impact my ability to go on hold in the future?

If you skip Q2, you will still be able to go on hold in the future if you are pregnant, injured or not actively teaching.

My facility furloughed me, can I still purchase the release with no active affiliation?

We understand that most instructors have been furloughed or laid off at this time. You can still purchase this release. We hope that your club will open soon and you will be back to teaching, this is just a small pause in your affiliation.

This will depend on the market. Each market to update based on if education is included in the release, free or offered at a separate cost.
