This one actually relates to me and not to my work for once.
I'm looking at doing a trial lyra class this weekend with a view to possibly signing up (part of the weekend is to also do a test to see what the best route is for me in terms of actually getting there) for their next term. Ahead of that class however, I've been worried that if I do end up signing up, I'm going to be missing one of the classes in the first week due to something I had planned beforehand and I couldn't cancel.
I wound up emailing them to find out if me missing that first week would be an issue at all, fully expecting them to regurgitate back a simple pre-written explanation for situations like this or to get something from their desk staff.
Instead, the email I got back was very genuine, very friendly and reassured me that I won't be missing out on anything since the trial session actually covers the same content. I went and checked out their website in a little more detail as well.
Turns out that every so often, they do photoshoots with their students and also a short interview with them afterwards. ALL of them had said that they were just as nervous about setting foot in the studio and in around a third of the cases, were afraid that their body shape would be seen as a hindrance (we're talking actual plus-size here). Some of them had even emailed the studio in advance asking about it. The founder was the one who responded to them each and every time, reassuring them and making them feel welcomed.
So, barring any major issues on the weekend (more bodily than anything), I think I'm going to like this...
