How Do I Get Involved?

How can I join PilatesWorks Australia? 

There are two ways you can join PilatesWorks and participate in our classes; either as a Studio Member or Term Student.
To help you choose the best option for you, here is a brief description of each: 

As a Studio Member you will receive great benefits and save $$$, through huge savings on your Pilates classes and discounts throughout the Studio. When registering as a Studio member you are signing up for a minimum of six months in a fortnightly ongoing Direct Debit payment plan, and in doing so you will receive fantastic extra benefits. These benefits include:

o         Unlimited holiday classes, meaning you can continue to attend classes without having to take a break and also are able to experience other great Studio programs for no additional costs.
o         20% off your second and consecutive classes booked in one term
o         10% off PilatesWorks equipment
o         10% off Remedial Massage.

For beginners in the PilatesWorks Pilates programs a Studio Membership is a great way to experience the entire Beginners component of the programs, which generally takes six month to complete (in two terms of Pilates). In six months you will be feeling and seeing fantastic results!For a brief overview of the Membership Terms and Conditions, see below. For the full Terms and Conditions, go HERE. 

Term Students are clients who choose to join our classes for ONE term only (10 weeks in a regular program or 5 weeks in a Fast-Track program). For those who are unsure about their plans, this is an excellent opportunity to try a Pilates program. Terms Students pay the premium price for a term. Payment can be made upfront by cash, credit card, Cheque, and EFTPOS or by a fortnightly Direct Debit Plan. 

MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND CONDITIONS SUMMARY 

The Minimum Term

Your Studio Membership goes for a minimum term of six months. Payments come out of your selected bank account each fortnight, also incurring a $2.00 or 3% administration fee. The amount each payment totals will vary from member to member, depending on how many classes the member has chosen to enroll in. 

Cooling Off Period and Refunds

After you sign up for a Studio Membership you have a 7 day Cooling Off period, to decide if this is something you really want to do. Any payments taken out of you account will be refunded in full, should you decide to cancel your Studio Membership.Unfortunately, no other refunds are available during your Studio Membership. 

Cancellation Within the Minimum Term

If for any reason you need to cancel your Studio Membership within the sixth month Minimum Term we are more than happy to help. If you move too far from the Studio (more than 30kms as the bird flies) or have a medical reason not to attend your classes there are options available to you to cancel your Studio Membership, incurring and Exit Fee depending on how many payments you have left. 

Cancellation After the Minimum Term

After the Minimum Term is over, you can apply to cancel your Studio Membership. All we ask is that you complete the Cancellation Form and submit it to a member of the administration team 30 days prior to when you wish your Studio Membership to cease. 

Pay Suspension

If you plan on missing more than four weeks of classes (for example, if you are going on holidays) Pay Suspension is available. Just give us 2 weeks notice in writing, and your payments will decrease from the regular amount to just $10.00 + administration fee. If you do apply for Pay Suspension, your Minimum Term will be increased accordingly. 

Make-Up Class Policy

If you happen to miss a few classes during a term, you’re more than welcome to attend a make-up class. If you know that you won’t be able to attend your regular class, just give us a call and let us know you won’t be attending (someone else may need your space to do a make-up of their own). When you’re ready, give us another call, or the next time you’re in the Studio, remind us that you missed your class, and we can advise you of when make-ups are available for you program, and you can book into one. 

Pregnancy

Ladies, if you fall pregnant, please let us know, and stop attending your classes! Regular Pilates programs aren’t suitable for pregnant women, which is why PilatesWorks has a specialized Pregnancy/Post Partum program that does wonders for both mother and child. We can easily transfer you over to the Pregnancy/Post Partum Pilates program.
