1. Medical Warning

Prior to undertaking any new form of exercise, you should consult with your doctor or other healthcare practitioner to ensure that you are mindful of your current health and any restrictions that may be appropriate for you.  

When participating in our classes, do not over exert yourself and work at your own pace. Stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort.  You should immediately seek medical attention if there are any unanticipated changes to your physical condition at any time.  

You must notify your instructor if you have any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions which may impact upon your ability to perform the exercises in our classes.  

By undertaking any exercise program (including the use of any equipment purchased from us), you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk that that the creators, producers, instructors and distributors of our exercise programs (together with their servants and agents) will not be liable for any personal injury, loss or liability of whatsoever nature arising as a result of, or in connection with, your undertaking of any such exercise program or following advice contained on our website or given by our instructors.  

2. Prices and Booking

Our current prices and timetables are displayed on our Website.  From time to time, our prices may change and these will be notified on the Website.    

Prices and timetables may vary between Studios.  

To sign up to participate in our classes, you must create an account with us.  Your account will be governed by these terms and conditions, our Website Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy.  

There are a set number of spaces in each class.  To attend a class, you must reserve a space.  Bookings can be made online, via our website or smart phone app, or by calling or emailing your Studio.  

3. Cancellation Policy 

To cancel a booking, you must notify your Studio at least 12 hours prior to the commencement of the class. Cancellations made with less than 12 hours notice will incur the full cost of the class booked.    

Class bookings can be cancelled online by logging into your account and choosing to unreserve the class you wish to cancel, or by calling or emailing your Studio.  

If you know you will not be able to make a class for which you have booked, within the 12 hour cancellation window, we strongly encourage a cancellation to be made, so that another person may take your reservation on the reformer.  

4. Class Waitlists

No availability in a class? No problem! If you are unable to book a spot because the class is full, register yourself on the waitlist and when a spot becomes available, you will be notified via email and automatically booked into the workout. Please ensure you check your email for your waitlist confirmation.

As a courtesy, if you are no longer available to attend the class, please remove yourself from the waitlist online or via the smart phone app. Once you have been confirmed in the class from the wait list, our 12 hour courtesy policy applies and a cancellation fee will apply if cancelled within this time.

5. Class Packs

All classes must be pre-paid before attending.  You may do this when booking your place in a class, via a pre-paid pack or as a casual attendee.

The sale of each class pack is subject to specific terms and conditions applicable to the type of membership which you hold, part of which can include a minimum commitment period, time limitations and/or class attendance limitations.

A class pack entitles the holder of the pack attendance at classes offered by the particular Studio which sold the pack.  Class packs cannot be shared across different studio locations. If you wish to attend multiple studios, we recommend either buying a pack at both studios, or buying a pack at one and paying casually at the other studio.

Class packs are non-transferrable between holders, and may not be sold, traded, gifted, shared, provided or otherwise transferred to any person other than the purchaser.   

Each class pack contains a strict expiry date.  If the number of classes for which the class pack entitles attendance have not been used by the holder before the expiry date, then those classes will expire and no refund will be given for any unused classes. Remaining credit may however be redeemed in Studio Pilates International products such as Pilates circles, Pilates bands or socks.

The sale of a class pack is final.  Studio Pilates International does not offer any refunds, transfers, suspensions or extensions on class packs for illness, injury, change of mind, user error, change of address, unsuitability or any other reason.

Current prices and expiry time frames for each type of class pack can be found on our website and may be amended from time to time.  

6. Referral Credit

From time to time, we may offer Studio credit to our existing members for introducing a new member to our Studio.  Studio credit may be used towards purchasing a class pack.  It is not redeemable for cash, and is not transferrable to other Studios.  

7. Gift Vouchers

From time to time, our Studios may offer gift vouchers for sale.  Gift vouchers may also, from time to time, be given away by our Studios for free or distributed as a reward, incentive, or as part of a marketing or promotional campaign.  

Gift vouchers are limited to the current dollar value held on the voucher and are not redeemable for cash.

We bear no responsibility for loss or theft of Gift Vouchers.  All Gift Vouchers have a strict expiry date.  Unredeemed balances on Gift Vouchers are not refundable.  

Gift Vouchers may not be returned, resold or used for any unauthorised advertising, marketing, sweepstakes or other promotional purpose.  

8. Class Schedules

Class Schedules may differ between Studios and are subject to change or cancellation without notice.
