May is gonna be exciting!

Today I'm coming in hot with latest studio news - there is a couple of things planned which you might really like!

But first, a small reminder:

Arriving on time for classes

When getting ready for a class at Iron Forest, please make sure that you arrive LATEST 5 minutes till class start time. That will ensure you have enough time to change your clothes, refill water bottle, and prepare for warm up without rushing. Thanks to that the classes will then also start on time.

Lately we have more and more cases of students arriving at the door exactly at class start time, or even up to 5 minutes late, which ends up delaying the class significantly.

Our teachers are trying to be understanding and accomodate all the students, but if such cases continue to occur regularly, we will have to enforce a strict Closed Door policy after the class start time. So to have a great class experience, make sure you arrive in a timely manner ;)

And now, tune in for the news!

NEW Intro to Pole course + trial classes

We are opening sign ups for a new 8 week intro course that will start on May 7th at 20:45.

Joining a full course is the best way to learn the basics of this sport, as you will follow a curated teaching program that shows you new techniques and tricks step by step, and you do not need to have any previous pole or sport experience. Link to the bookings: https://www.eversports.nl/e/course/O_tk6C2 You can also try a taster class first before commiting to the full course. Each trial class now costs only 10EUR!

Pole Trial Classes:

Tuesday 16.04.2024 at 20:45 Tuesday 23.04.2024 at 20:45 sign up here: https://www.eversports.nl/e/class/TIOVqDM

Clothing swap/sell event

Spring is a time of the year when almost all of us go through our wardrobes cleaning and decluttering it. That is why together with Katarina I decided to host a swap & sell event where you can bring all the clothes and accessories you are ready to part with, and we provide space at the studio, music and drinks with snacks! The event is not limited to only pole/dance/training wear - you can bring other clothes as well :) Save the date: Saturday 11 May from 13:00 - 16:00 To join, whatsapp Katarina: 06 25 19 14 51

Burlesque pop-up class

On Monday 22 April you will be able to try a new dance class taught by our wonderful showgirl Marie She will give a pop up burlesque class for all levels at 20:45. You can read more about the class and already sign up here: https://www.eversports.nl/e/class/ZazCt2n

Studio stickers

Our new studio stickers are here and I am so happy how they turned out! <3

You can find them in the studio changing rooms and pick from 2 designs. Please feel free to grab one next time you are visiting Iron Forest Studio!

Stay Spicy,

Anna

New term schedule and a break

Last week we published the schedule for next term of May and June - you can find it in our Eversports class schedule here. You can already book your spots for chosen classes and courses!

What's new?

• We added a 20:45 Wednesday class - Exotricks Open Lvl. It is a great class to join if you want to improve your heels pole game, learn harder tricks and drill them on both sides. Class material will be adjusted to the participants' level!

• Twerk and Chair Dance classes with Aisha will be moved to Wednesday from month May.

Also, we are closing our doors for 1 week in order to rest, recover and start a new term with good energy! Plan this time accordingly and we will see you in the studio again from Monday 6 May <3

Bachelorettes and other parties!

Did you know that you can organise a fun event with pole, twerk, aerial and dance workshops? We can accomodate big and small groups for any occasion - be it a fun chair dance & strip workshop for your friend's bachelorette party, or an aerial hoop workshop for a team-building outing.

Take a look at our full offer here and plan an event with us soon ;)

Iron Forest hoodies & more

Have you seen our hoodies yet? Last pieces of this small collection are available to buy in the studio for €60.50 per piece. The design is Anna's original drawing, inspired by butterflies of the night and her love to shiny holographic materials. Keep an eye on our instagram, because more things are coming soon!

Stay Spicy,

Transition to Eversports, and FAQ

updated on 14.02.2024

The time has finally come for Iron Forest Studio to leave our previous booking system and move to Eversports! What a crazy ride that past year had been. Before all, I want to express how grateful I am for all of you my dear students! You made 2023 a year that will not be forgotten. So much growth happened for both you and me! We experienced new things together, like expanding our teacher group, new classes and various events. We also had our first Open Day and first student & teacher performance show!

Today I wanted to update you all on the topic of a booking system migration we are undergoing right now.

Currently I am in the process of transferring all the data to Eversports. You can use Bsport to book your classes that take place only until end of this week - 17 January 2024. After that time you can remove Bsports app and instead use your Eversports account.

What can you expect during the transition period?

• Temporary Interruption:

• During the transition, there might be a brief period where the online booking system will be temporarily unavailable. I appreciate your patience during this time as I am busy working to make the necessary updates.

• Communication:

• Stay tuned for regular updates through our official communication channels—email, social media, Whatsapp group chat and our website. There I will keep you informed about the timeline, any potential downtimes, and when the new system will be up and running.

• Where to Book: Currently you can only book classes with Bsport that take place till Saturday 17 February. Once the transition is complete on Sunday 18 February, we will use only Eversports. Soon you'll find the new booking system right here on our website. The process will be user-friendly, and you'll be able to easily navigate through classes, schedules, and make reservations at your convenience. You can always opt for booking via Eversports app which you can find in the app store on your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

To address any potential concerns or questions you may have, I've compiled a list of FAQs.

Will my existing bookings be transferred?

• Absolutely! All your existing bookings will seamlessly transfer to the new system. 1) If you had a valid class card that had an expiry date longer than 19 January 2024, you will find your card in the new booking system with the original date of purchase and available class credit number adjusted accordingly. 2) If you purchased a Winter Term membership, you will have a temporary card that resembles the currently used membership with a number of credits adjusted accordingly. For clean transition and administration purposes, these memberships are extended an additional week with extra week's worth of class entries added to your account, and will expire on 3 March, so make sure you use up your extra credits before that date!
  

How do I create an account on the new platform?

• If you are our current stdudent and had an account at Bsport, you should by now receive an email with invitation to the new platform.

• If you are a new student, head straight to Eversports app/website, make an account there and find Iron Forest Studio in their search bar! In order to avoid complications, it is best that you join classes that take place from Monday 19 January, which you can book using Eversports already.

• If you are eager to start before that day, please send an email (info@ironforest.store) or a whatsapp message to me (+31682046727) so I can manually book you in. Thank you for your understanding!

1. What if I encounter issues during the transition?

• I will be available to assist you. Feel free to reach out via email or phone, and I will solve all the issues .

Eversports app

When can I purchase new memberships? New revamped memberships will be available for purchase from 4 March! Currently they are not appearing in the system so that you don't accidently purchase it and overlap it with your current Bsport membership. Here you can already see how they will look like! :)

I hope that this change will provide a better, smooth and user-friendly booking experience for you!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me and I will assist you with everything :)

See you in class! Anna
