The WAC App is Moving to WAC+

Group Fitness Instructors

Group Fitness Instructors are the heart of our members’ experience. During this transition, you’ll guide participants through the updated class registration and attendance process, helping them understand the switch to WAC+. By staying informed and confident with WAC+, you’ll keep classes running smoothly and make sure members can focus on enjoying their workouts, not worrying about technology.

To help you prepare, we’ve put together step-by-step tutorials and practice homework so you can test your skills in the app before helping members.

What Else You Need to Know

Everything you need to know about the WAC App moving to WAC+ is right here. Expand the questions below to find your answers.

The transition will take place October 7–8, 2025.
Group Fitness goes live on WAC+ at 12:00pm on October 8.
You can download WAC+ anytime before then to get ready.

Already have WAC+? They’re all set. All they need to do is log in.
New to WAC+? Check out our guide to confirm and log in (members) or create a new account (non-members).

Starting at 1:00pm on October 7, the WAC App will no longer be available in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Group Fitness classes will also stop appearing in the WAC App at that time.
To avoid confusion, we recommend removing the WAC App from your device on October 8 and using WAC+ moving forward.

Reservations made in the current WAC App (or MotionVibe Website) before 1:00pm on October 7 will be sent to instructors.
Want to attend a class on October 7–8 but didn’t register before then? Check at the Front Desk for availability. Team Members will have printed rosters.
Starting October 8 at 12:00pm, register for all Group Fitness classes through WAC+. (Registration opens one week before each class.)

No. Group Fitness Classes are included in all WAC memberships!

WAC+ also includes other programming (Premium Classes, Swim Lessons, Workshops, Pickleball) that may have fees, but Group Fitness remains free for members.

We know juggling multiple apps can be frustrating. Merging the WAC App into WAC+ makes things easier:

One less app to keep track of
Reservations and registrations all in one place
You have the ability to register for family members
Streamlined support for quicker help
Less downtime

Yes. To keep classes available to as many members as possible, members will need to Mark Attendance (formerly Check In).

Check out our guides to learn how to mark attendance on WAC+.
