Enrollment Questions
How do I enroll?
Visit our join page and register online. Please register before attending your first class. In order to experience all that iGnite has to offer, we encourage new participants to sign up for a two week trial. During the two week trial, participants enjoy a week’s worth of unlimited class access for free, followed by a second week at a discounted rate of $10.00 per class.
Do I need to commit to one class time?
No. Because we realize that each day of life is different, we give our participants the flexibility to choose which classes to attend each week and adjust their schedule as their needs and wants change. There is no need to sign up for class in advance.
Can I bring my payment to the first class?
No. All registration occurs online and payments can be made via check or credit card. Please register online before attending your first class. If you have questions, please contact iGnite Billing at billing@igniteyourlifenow.com.
Are there a maximum number of participants in each Journey?
No. However, iGnite classes are intentionally intimate in size to allow for safe and individual attention. Our classes also include a strong social element, and participants often form personal bonds and lasting friendships.
Do I have to purchase any special equipment?
Yes. To ensure a consistent experience, All Access iGnite participants are required to have a basic set of equipment (available through our online shop) along with a yoga mat and pair of both 3 and 5 pound dumbbells. Power Hour Only participants are required to have a yoga mat.
Are men ever allowed at iGnite classes?

Participation Questions
What is expected of me as an iGnite participant?
We ask that you put forth your best effort, bring a positive attitude, arrive on time, and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. iGnite focuses on cooperation, not competition. All participants are expected to support and encourage each other.
How will I know where class meets?
Meeting locations will vary throughout the Journey. The class schedule will be updated each week with the current locations. In the event of inclement weather, please be sure to check the schedule for any last-minute changes. Please make sure we have your current email address, as well.
What do I need to bring with me?
Always bring your yoga mat and water. Please refer to the online schedule to see which equipment you’ll need for class that week. Click on the class description for more information on each class type.
What should I wear?
Keep in mind most classes take place outdoors, so please dress accordingly. Always wear comfortable workout clothes and supportive athletic shoes. Good shoes are extremely important for safety, comfort, and injury prevention. For a complimentary shoe fitting, iGnite recommends visiting Texas Running Co., Hill Country Running, or Luke’s Locker. For women’s athletic clothing, we recommend our hand-picked selection from the iGnite Shop, Bettysport, or lululemon athletica.
