NEW CORPORATE DEALS for CBD: Well, I say NEW, but they have been around for years, but not mentioned for years! So many options:
☆ get a group of four or more from work (or from anywhere to be honest) together, sign up for one of our regular group classes in the CBD and get 25% off the regular price;
☆ invite us into work to do a one-off "fun" class (think Team Building, think Christmas Party) or a 4-week cycle or whatever will work for you;
☆ register your organisation for our Corporate Promotion and get an extra discount on our regular classes.
PS: FOR INDIVIDUALS - A number of organisations offer Wellbeing Incentives to get their staff "moving". Check with your HR/P&C Team. We are happy to provide invoices/receipts to allow you to make a reimbursement request.
