Open the booking you want to change and click "Reschedule". Pick a new date and time from the coach's available slots, then confirm. Both you and the coach will be notified of the change.
Cancellation policy
Try to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance so your coach can fill the spot. Each coach may have their own cancellation policy — check the booking details for specifics.
Recurring lessons
If your coach has set up a recurring series for you, those bookings will appear with a repeat icon. Recurring lessons are automatically generated each week — no need to rebook.
Reviewing your coach
After a lesson is completed, you can rate your experience with a star rating and optional comment. Your feedback helps other students find great coaches.
