What founding members get.

Five things that only exist for the first cohort. They don't come back later.

Priority booking window

See and claim calendar slots 24–48 hours before general bookings open, permanently.

Founders Wall recognition

Your name featured in an online Founders Wall directory on the website.

Referral hours

How founding membership works.

Step 01

Reserve your spot

Put your name down with a deposit — $50, $100, or $150 (plus HST). This secures your founding status and is credited toward studio time.

Step 02

The deposit becomes studio credit

It's credited in full toward your first booking or your first membership month when doors open. Nothing disappears into a fee.

Step 03

Your rate locks the day doors open

Founding pricing and perks activate at launch, stay locked for 2 years, and remain yours as long as your membership stays active.

Reserve your founding spot.

Pick your deposit, leave your details, and pay securely — Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit or debit. This is a commitment deposit that reserves your founding spot; it converts in full to studio credit when doors open.

Questions, answered plainly.

No — this is a commitment deposit that reserves your spot in the founding cohort. It cannot be refunded, but it converts dollar-for-dollar into studio credit at launch.

It's credited dollar-for-dollar against your first booking or your first membership month. You never pay it twice.

The $150/month founding rate is locked for 2 years from launch. After that, it stays in place as long as your membership stays active. If you cancel within 2 years, the founding rate retires.

Yes. You can move to pay-as-you-go or pause anytime. Note that if the membership lapses, the founding rate retires with it.

The first cohort is deliberately small so the calendar stays usable. When the spots are claimed, the list closes and the next people join at public pricing.

Founding spots are limited to the first cohort.

We're keeping the first group small so the calendar stays usable. Once the spots are claimed, the next people in join at public pricing.
