Policies and Procedures

-Classes are reserved and paid for in advance through our online booking system. All reservations must be confirmed. -Life can get hectic, we get it! We request that any cancellation be made at least six hours prior to class and 24 hours prior to a private training session (the “cancellation window”) to ensure that the class/session goes back onto your account for use at a later date. If you do not cancel before the cancellation window closes, you will be considered a late cancel and you will lose your class or incur a fee. -Teachers are subject to change and classes are subject to cancellation without notice. When possible, an email or text message will be sent in the event that there is a change in the schedule. Subject to any opt-out you elect, you consent to receiving notices from us pertaining to class. -In the event a class is full, try the waitlist – it works! When a spot becomes available before the cancellation window closes, an email confirmation will be sent to let you know. Don’t forget, it is your responsibility to cancel your reservation if you can no longer make it to avoid cancellation penalties. Outside of the cancellation window, keep an eye on the schedule. We will not be able to automatically add you to the class, so grab that spot! -Safety is crucial, and therefore our trained teachers will provide corrective touches during classes to ensure that clients are safe and maintain correct form.This practice has been suspended during the period following COVID-19 in 2020 see COVID-19 Updates page for status. -While we love our community’s young and furry ones, unattended children and pets are not permitted in the studio. -Cleanliness is cool – clients are responsible for wiping down their machine after class. This practice has been updated during the period following COVID-19 in 2020 see COVID-19 Updates page for status.

-Subject to certain restrictions, all sales are final. Classes are not eligible for transfer or exchange, and cannot be shared amongst clients. -A valid debit or credit card must be on file for all active accounts. -To update your card on file to a debit card, please email your local studio manager. Absolute Pilates is not responsible for any bank overdraft fees that may occur.

-In order to enhance our clients’ safety and experience, we may take video surveillance in studio.

ORDER CONFIRMATION

We will email you to confirm the placement of your order and with details concerning product or service delivery. In the event that there is an error in this email confirmation, it is your responsibility to inform us as soon as possible. Please, please do this. We really do like you!

If you’ve signed up for a month-to-month subscription with us, the subscription renews automatically and your credit card will be charged the fees stated at the time of purchase (or the introductory rate during the introductory period). Price may change at the end of your subscription period. Your subscription will start as soon as your credit card is successfully charged.

If you have signed up for an online class or workshop, confirmation that we have received your order and payment does not constitute acceptance into the class or workshop. We will email you separately to confirm that you have been accepted into the class or workshop.

You (or your estate) may cancel your purchase of Absolute Pilates sessions or classes if you die or extend your membership if you become physically unable to avail yourself of a substantial portion of those services which you used until the time of disability.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

We endeavor to describe and display the Service as accurately as possible. While we try to be as clear as possible in explaining the Service, please do not accept that the Site is entirely accurate, current, or error-free. From time to time we may correct errors in pricing and descriptions because we might not have drank enough coffee the day we published something. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order with an incorrect price listing.
