If the class is cancelled 6 hours or more prior to class start time, class credit will be returned to your account.
If the class is cancellated less than 6 hours prior to class start time, class credit will be forfeited, unless there is an emergency or medical reason with medical certification provided.
Equip Pilates private sessions are provided at the availability of our trainers. Given our trainers have set aside their time to provide private sessions pre-post group class blocks, any changes to private appointments require a fair notice period of 24 hours for the trainer and Equip Pilates.
To prevent loss of a private session, the private session must be cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Any cancellations within 24 hours will result in loss of session. Any cancellations outside of 24 hours will be recredited back to your account.
To prevent loss of intro to reformer session, the intro to reformer session must be cancelled at least 6 hours prior to the appointment. Any cancellations within 6 hours will result in loss of session. Any cancellations outside of 6 hours will be recredited back to your account.
