Terms & Conditions

Customer Class Cancellation Policy

Pilates Performance operates a minimum 4 hour cancellation policy to ensure that all of our clients have fair access to scheduled classes.

The minimum cancellation “window” is 4 hours before the start of your class. Classes booked (via on-line, by phone or at Reception) which are not cancelled outside of this time frame for whatever reason will result in a “late cancellation” on your account, which will automatically delete the class from your account or package. This applies whether you have a Membership with restricted weekly use or a Package of classes.

Similarly, if you book a class(be it via Website, at Reception or by phone) and do not turn up to take the class your account will be marked “absent” and you will lose the class from your account. Classes which are booked and cancelled (for whatever reason) before the 12 hour window will show as “early cancellation” on your account but you will not lose the class.

Pricing Option Expiration

Please be aware that (except where stated differently) most of our class packages have a 6 month expiration date, i.e. you must use the full compliment of classes you have purchased within this time-frame or you will lose the balance of unused classes. Please be advised that this is strictly enforced at all times to ensure the flexibility in adding new classes and courses from time to time for all clients to benefit from without the business being liable for any unused classes which may exist on client accounts.

“Freezing” Accounts on putting Accounts “on hold”

In general terms we do not allow for the “freezing” or putting “on hold” of classes, packages or memberships.
Under certain circumstances where an injury prevents clients from using their classes, we shall review this condition at our discretion.

Transferring or sharing classes or packs

Packages of classes or classes within any of our packs that are purchased are non-transferable and may not be shared with third parties or other existing clients.

Promotional Text Offers

From time to time Pilates Performance run discounted promotional text offers. Along with our general terms of business there are some specific conditions attaching to these offers, as follows:

  • Clients may purchase more than 1 promotional text offer package at a time, however, all packs purchased on the date of the offer will have an expiration of 3 months from the purchase date. There are no exceptions to this.
  • Discounted Promotional Text offers are non-transferrable.
  • Discounted Promotional Text offers may not be used as Gift Vouchers for third parties.
  • Discounted Promotional Text offers may not be used in conjunction with any other promotional offers-credit amounts or gift vouchers which a client may have existing on an account may not be used against the purchase of a Discounted Promotional Text.
  • Discounted Promotional Offers cannot have their 6 month expiry date extended for any reason. The pack must be used in full within this designated time period.
