Studio Policies

The Nitty-Gritty Stuff

We know it’s boring and lengthy, but it’s necessary. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe studio environment and honouring our policies. We appreciate you!

By participating in the services offered at Core Pilates Bowral, I acknowledge that I have voluntarily enrolled and agree to be bound by our Terms and Conditions outlined below. If you do not agree with any of these Terms and Conditions, please refrain from participating in our classes.

We reserve the right to change, update, or reissue these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and you agree to be bound by these updates.

  • We understand that life can be unpredictable, and we appreciate your adherence to our safety and scheduling policies, including our strict 12-hour cancellation rule. Reservations are required for all classes, and all cancellations or changes must be processed online via our scheduling system or app run by Momence. Cancellations or changes received via email are not valid. If you need assistance, please contact us at hello@corepilatesbowral.com.

    • Sessions are not transferrable to another individual and cannot be used by another person. If someone other than the person booked into the class arrives to use the session, they will be asked to create an account and purchase their own sessions.

    • Changes to your schedule via text message, email, voicemails, phone calls, or social media will not be accepted. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance if unsure on how to cancel or reschedule your class prior to class commencement.

    • Early Cancellations: Changes or cancellations processed more than 12 hours before your booking are considered early cancellations and will be reimbursed as studio credit.

    • Late Cancellations: Changes or cancellations processed within 12 hours of your booking are classified as late cancellations and will not be eligible for a credit.

    • If you're on a membership or intro offer, the fee charged will be $10 for a late cancellation or no-show.

    • If you're on a casual or class pass pack, you will forfeit the class credit.

    • If in relation to an appointment or private session, you will forfeit the credit.

    *Core Pilates Bowral is a small, family-owned business, and we incur losses when you don't show up for a class you've booked. To ensure fairness, we ask you to accept our no-show fee responsibly. If you booked a class and didn’t show up, please understand the impact it has on us.

  • By participating in any classes, programs, or events at Core Pilates Bowral, you agree to the following terms:

    • Assumption of Risks: I understand that participating in Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Wunda Chair, Barre, Ballet, and any other fitness class offered by Core Pilates Bowral, including private training sessions, involves certain risks, including but not limited to muscle soreness, strains, sprains, and the possibility of more serious injuries.

Stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort during any exercise and seek medical attention if necessary.

    • Arrival Time: To help you get the most out of your session, please aim to arrive at least 5 minutes before your class or appointment. This allows for a smooth check-in process and ensures you're ready to begin on time. Please note that for safety reasons and to avoid disrupting others, we may not be able to admit late arrivals once a class has started.
