Studio Guidelines
You are only permitted to be in the studio under the supervision of a Hills Pilates House staff member.
Session purchases including (but not limited to) intro packs, promotions, 1 class, 5 class and 10 class passes all have relevant expiry periods. For the specific expiry date of your session purchase please check your account. It is your responsibility to be aware of the expiry date of any/all of your session purchases and Hills Pilates House does not take any responsibility for managing your expiry dates and is not under any obligation to provide you with notice of any session purchase expiry.
Hills Pilates House does not offer refunds on change of mind purchases or under any circumstance so please choose carefully. Only under extreme cases will Hills Pilates House provide an extension to session purchase expiry dates or offer a store credit. Hills Pilates House reserves the right to deny any request for extension. A store credit will be offered at the discretion of Hills Pilates House if you purchased the wrong pack and have not used any sessions out of the pack. There may be an additional surcharge for this to cover the cost of merchant fees.
Group class late cancellation policy: If you cancel a group class within 12 hours of that class being scheduled, this will be considered a ‘late cancel’ and that session will still be deducted from your membership plan or class purchase/pack.
1:1 late cancellation policy: If you cancel a studio session within 24 hours of that session being scheduled, this will be considered a ‘late cancel’ and that session will still be deducted from your pack.
Studio no show policy: If you book a group class or studio session and fail to attend, that session will still be deducted and a no-show fee of $10.00 per class will be deducted from the credit card details Hills Pilates House has on file for you without prior warning. If this is charged and you attended the studio late missing the sign in at the start of class, the $10.00 charge will be credited to your account for your next purchase. If you fail to attend more than three classes you have booked into, your booking access will be suspended until you contact Hills Pilates House.
Waitlist policy: If you fail to confirm or deny a position on a waitlist, it will be like you have attended the class and the session will be deducted from either your membership or your session purchase. It is your responsibility to ensure your account notifications are active so that you receive the automated messages either via text message or email. Hills Pilates House may not credit any classes missed because of not having your account notifications turned on.
Booking policy: All classes and sessions can be booked 30 days in advance. For further advanced bookings you will need to contact the Hills Pilates House directly. Advance bookings greater than 30 days are at the discretion of Hills Pilates House.
You must sign the waiver via the Mindbody App or webpage when making your purchase. If you do not sign the waiver, you will not be able to attend at Hills Pilates House.
Your physical condition is important to us. We always recommend speaking to your health care provider before commencing a new physical activity. You must notify Hills Pilates House of any change to your health so that your classes can be appropriately modified. In the event of pregnancy, clients must notify Hills Pilates House and complete a Pregnancy Acknowledgement form before continuing to attend classes. Instructors may not feel comfortable to teach pregnant clients, so please contact with the studio before attending.
If you have a serious illness, injury or other health issue such as (but not limited to) an infectious disease/illness an instructor may refuse service to you and ask that you come back with clearance from your health care provider.
