CATCH UP SESSIONS CLASSES
We value our clients and offer this service as a good will gesture. If there is an available opening, a catch-up may be offered, we cannot however guarantee the date or the time, as they are simply what we may have open. Sessions offered could be mat or equipment depending on what is available. Clients have the ability, and if a place is available, to catch-up ONE missed class per term session due to reasonable circumstances and provided that notice is given no less than 24 hours prior during office hours Mon-Fri 9am to 3pm. These are not extra classes. Client's will be offered what is available at the time. If your instructor is away due to illness or other, alternate arrangements will be made.

*Please note, the above does not include the open level small group mat classes.

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU​
The below are necessary not just for hygiene but to also protect the equipment from wear and tear.
-
Studio Equipment & Reformer clients will need a reformer mat
-
Mat clients will need to bring a thin yoga mat to lay over the Studio mats.
-
Pilates grip socks (available at the Studio).
-
Water bottle.
WHAT NOT TO BRING WITH YOU
-
Jewellery. Please remove rings and bracelets. These can have sharp little edges that
poke holes in the upholstery of the Studio equipment, which can be costly to repair.
-
Clothing with zippers. See above point.
-
Mobile phones. PLEASE turn them off. Unless it is for an emergency.
-
Smart watches. As with phones PLEASE turn them off or at the least down. It would be
great if during the class clients avoid answering messages as this is very distracting.
-
Illness. If you are sick, then our Studio is not for you at that time. Please stay home and
recover. We work with many immunocompromised people.
-
Fake Tan. Please do not come in to your session straight after a tanning appointment as the tan gets onto the equipment and stains the upholstery.
-
Please leave shoes under the chairs and not on the Studio floor (shoes = germs).
COMMON COURTESIES
-
Arriving on time not only avoids disruption to the teacher but also the clients that are already participating in the session. Should you be more than 10 minutes late, we ask that you omit that session as a courtesy to your teacher and other clients. Try to factor in travel time to the Studio and parking.
-
If you know that you will be late, notify the studio at least an hour before your class. Remember, we are teaching and therefore not looking at our phone messages.
-
Clients will need to move out of the Studio in a timely manner. We all love a catch up and chat, however with just 15 minutes between classes, your teacher needs to clean, have some water and food and visit the facilities.
-
If you need to leave early, please alert your teacher before the class and make your way out quietly.
