Class Times + Time Zones — Here's How RLT live Classes Work
We get some version of these three questions in our comments, emails, and the WhatsApp chat every single week:
"What time zone are classes in?" "If I can't make it live, do I still get the class?" "Can I put my booking on my calendar so I don't forget?"
So let's answer all three in one place!!
📍 All class times are in EST
ALL RLT CLASSES ARE HOSTED IN EST
We know this is a major point of confusion for new babes: every single time you see in the RLT app is Eastern Standard Time (EST) — every weekly class, every workshop, every special offering, no exceptions unless a class description explicitly says otherwise.
We're actively working on an update that'll auto-adjust times to your local zone for you. Until that comes aling, here's exactly how to convert it yourself.
How to find our Time Zone tool in the app:
HOW TO FIND MORE INFO ON THE RLT APP
Open the RLT app and land on your Home screen
Click on the Studio Announcements tab (right under your bookings/membership area)
Swipe through until you see the card titled "Time Zone" 🕰️ — subtitle: "Conversion chart & calculator"
Tap Read more, or click
That announcement includes a full time zone conversion calculator link, plus this chart so you can do it in your head:
Time Zone Difference from EST
PST (Pacific) -3 hours
MST (Mountain) -2 hours
CST (Central) -1 hour
EST (Eastern) Same as EST
GMT +5 hours
CET (Central European) +6 hours
SAST (South African) +7 hours
MSK (Moscow) +8 hours
GST (Gulf) +9 hours
IST (India) +10.5 hours
ICT (Indochina) +12 hours
HKT (Hong Kong) +13 hours
JST (Japan) +14 hours
AEST (Australian Eastern) +15 hours
NZST (New Zealand) +16 hours
A note on Daylight Saving Time:
If your region observes DST (US, Canada, most of Europe) — you don't need to adjust anything extra. Your phone and calendar shift automatically with the time change, so your local time stays in sync with EST. A class at 6pm EST is always 3pm PST, before and after the clocks change.
If your region doesn't observe DST (most of Asia, Africa, South America, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, most of Arizona, etc) — your local class time may appear to shift by an hour depending on U.S. summer vs. winter clocks, since your clocks stay put year-round.
Pro tip - when in doubt, Google "current time in EST" to double check before you book.
🎥 Every class comes with a lifetime recording
Here's the part that takes the pressure off: every sign-up — weekly class, workshop, or special offering — includes lifetime access to that class recording, whether you attend live or not.
Working a nightlife schedule? In a time zone that makes EST class times unreasonable for you? Just tired that day? You don't lose your spot or your credit. Train live, train from the replay, or do both. We built this system for real humans and real dancer schedules.

📅 New: sync your bookings to your calendar
Did you know you can connect the RLT app directly to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, so every class you book shows up automatically — already converted to your device's local time!?!
SYNC YOUR CALENDAR TO THE RLT APP!!
Here's how to set it up:
Open the RLT app and tap Profile (bottom right)
Tap Calendar
Tap Connect under Google Calendar or Apple Calendar (or both!)
Google syncs automatically once connected — every future booking will appear on your Google Calendar with no extra steps
Apple syncs each booking to your device calendar individually, so you'll see the option each time you book
Want to backfill everything you've already got booked? Tap Sync all upcoming bookings to pull in every class already on your schedule
That's it! No more screenshotting your bookings, no more math on time zones, no more "wait, was that class today?" — it just lives on your calendar like everything else in your life!
