How do booking and cancellation work?
Provisional policy
Members choose a service, pick an instructor or any available instructor, then choose an open time. A booking is confirmed only after the system checks the time is still free, and a confirmation email follows.
Proposed policy: bookings open up to 60 days ahead, at least 24 hours before the session, and can be cancelled without charge until 24 hours before the start time. See the cancellation policy.
What should I bring, and when should I arrive?
Provisional policy
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your session to check in at the front counter.
Every shooter needs a signed Delta Arsenal waiver. You can complete the online waiver before you arrive.
Can I reschedule a session?
Provisional policy
Yes. Once online booking opens, members can move a booking from their account until 24 hours before it starts, up to two times per booking. Closer to the session, contact training staff and they will help where they can.
