FAQ

Our FAQ will help you to find all the answers to your ALPHA31-related questions.

What is ALPHA31 and what does it offer?

ALPHA31 is a high-end boutique gym. We offer three types of 45-minute full-body workout sessions – Reset, Ignite and Strength. These are all uniquely designed in experience and outcome, intelligently integrating rowing and other impactful routines.

What is our Code of Conduct?

To make sure that your studio visit is pleasant and as rewarding as possible, we kindly ask you to adhere to the following guidelines:
α: Respect your ALPHA team members.
α: Once you’re inside our studio, set your phone to silent. Need to make a phone call or receive an emergency call? Feel free to leave your phone at the front desk and please keep your voice to a minimum.
α: Conversing with other participants during an exercise session is not recommended as it may be distracting to others. You can always catch up before or after a session in our comfortable lounge in the lobby.
α: We recommend seeing through your class until the end. Leaving early may be disturbing for others and it’s also a hindrance to your overall fitness results.
