Aldwick Pilates’ Terms and Conditions

Booking terms & conditions (handout, 1 page summary)

The sessions last approximately one hour which includes a few minutes pre-class & post class briefing opportunity. The Covid pandemic means that you need to arrive punctually but not more than 5 minutes before the class starts & wait outside the hall wearing a face mask.  You need to vacate the hall promptly at the end of their class.  I am most happy to talk to you afterwards outside suitably socially distanced.

Your place is secure & guaranteed for the current booking therefore fees are non-refundable.  Missed classes cannot be carried over however, they can be made up by attending any of my current face to face classes falling within your current booking dates free of charge (please check as this is subject to floor space being available on the day).  You can attend however attend any one of my Zoom online sessions anytime – the waiting room code (which is all you need) is 860 143 1764.  Current options are Mondays at 4.30pm/6pm/7.30pm.  These run for 43 – 46 weeks in the year.  Please be aware that this is a courtesy option & students should attend their own class wherever possible so that accurate class lists can be maintained to notify you of class changes if needed.

Classes are run subject to sufficient students having paid in advance. We reserve the right to change the venue should the pre- booked venue become unviable.  Your place is held guaranteed for you whether you choose to attend or not. Exceptional circumstances such as death will be taken into consideration.

Your place is only confirmed upon receipt of payment. Bank transfer/card payment or cash are payment options payable in full before the start date. I cannot offer a pay as you go rate option for anyone due to social distancing strictly limiting spaces available & the requirement to keep accurate attendance records for your protection.

Liability release:

• I understand that my teacher is a qualified & insured Pilates Instructor.
• I understand that Cordelia, my instructor, is in no way responsible for the safekeeping of my personal belongings while I attend class.
• I will tell the instructor of anything painful /unusual I experience in the class & between classes.
• I will stop doing the exercise if I or she thinks I need to or follow the alternatives my instructor gives me.
• I understand my instructor may offer me professional advice relating to my ability to exercise & she may consider it unprofessional to continue to teach me if I do not wish to follow that advice.
• I will keep my instructor updated on any changes in my medical condition.
• If I am struggling with anything in the class, have any problems or concerns, I must advise my instructor soon as possible.
• I understand that all exercise carries a risk & I voluntarily participate in Cordelia’s Classes/Aldwick Pilates with full knowledge that there is risk of personal injury, property loss or death. I agree that neither I, my heirs, assigns or legal representatives will sue or make any other claims of any kind whatsoever against Cordelia’s Classes or its members for any personal injury, property damage/loss, or wrongful death, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
• I am aware that Cordelia reserves the right to cancel the class if she is unavailable due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. In the rare event that she has to cancel she will carry the class forwards but no money will be refunded.  If there are not enough people booked into the class to run it for the designated period, Cordelia reserves the right to cancel the class or the class will be made up at a more convenient time. If you wish to continue you understand that you need to book & pay for next course two weeks before the course starts to secure your space.

Medical history / Medical referrals:

Whilst every care will be taken to help you exercise in a way which will not aggravate any injuries or illnesses you may have, all lessons are undertaken at the participant’s own risk. Pilates will, in nearly every case, improve conditions of back, neck & hip pain & shoulder, knee & ankle functions etc & is an extremely SAFE form of exercise even through pregnancy up to 6 weeks before and after birthing but if in any doubt please seek medical advice! Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding your ability to exercise or follow any of my suggestions.

We regret that we cannot accept liability for any injuries you may incur whilst exercising due to pre-existing medical conditions. We strongly recommend for those who have been referred by a Physiotherapist or Doctor that you book one or more ‘Boost one to one sessions’ to get the best out from your class & to be made aware of customised modifications that you can utilise within the class.

Enrolment to classes signifies agreement to the above Booking Terms & Conditions. These terms are applicable to everyone in all circumstances. Thank you for your understanding & for your agreement to them. Any personal information we hold, will be removed from our data base, unless there is a legal requirement to hold it.

I really hope to be able to help you achieve a real transformation & I look forward to our time together. Pilates is an amazingly powerful tool for increased quality of life. Please see testimonials on my website from students explaining their inspiring before & after story!
