  • We run specialist workshops and some apparatus classes that are booked in advance and paid per session. Please see below.

Dress code

  • No shoes are required in the studio, socks or bare feet are ideal.
  • Please ensure socks are of the sticky kind to reduce the risk of slipping.

Health and medical status

  • All clients will need to complete a health screen and a Covid 19 declaration and consent – and to hand in the completed screen on the first class/workshop attended.
  • If any issues or uncertainties arise as a result of filling out the health screen; it is the responsibility of the client to get clearance to exercise from a suitable medical practitioner.
  • Most classes entail that the client is able to get up and down from the floor. If this is very difficult, a private appointment may be more suitable initially. Attendance may be refused if the client has mobility issues of a nature that make it unsafe for them to attend their chosen class. In this case an alternative will be discussed if practical.
  • Please do not attend class if unwell , please send a message via our contact us.
  • If any health concerns arise while already a class participant, the client must inform the teacher immediately and may be required to seek medical clearance in order to continue attending.
  • Pilates classes, fitness classes, Yoga, Meditation, health education events or workshops do not replace or constitute medical treatment or advice.
  • We reserve the right to refuse entry to clients we do not deem suitable to attend.

Cancellations and making up classes

  • Unlike the larger council run and corporate providers, we guarantee the client a place on their chosen time and day when booking a class.
  • We are unable to offer any refunds for missed sessions or for pre- paid and booked classes that are missed as a result of the client being unable to attend.
  • The notice period requested for cancelled sessions is a minimum of 48 hours or 24 hours in the case of unexpected illness. Notice must be given either in class before the intended missed session is due, or in writing to fitskool@gmail.com or fitskool@outlook.com or via our website contact form.
  • Notice provided via Facebook messages or social media will not be accepted.
  • Notice of less than 24 hours will automatically forfeit that session.
  • We do try to offer the opportunity to make up any sessions where possible, however, this is not guaranteed and is complimentary and at our discretion.
  • Clients must be current and can make up only when advance notice of more than 24 hours has been provided , and only if a place is available.
  • Make-up sessions cannot be facilitated on apparatus Spring Wall or Reformer classes or workshops unless that session was the orignal class to be attended.
  • To be fair to all of our attendees, clients cannot make up missed sessions if they are no longer a class participant of Fitskool. Therefore clients must be a current paid and continuing course participant in order to make up missed sessions and must also give the required 24 hours advance notice of any cancelled session.
  • Clients cannot save up missed sessions and transfer them over to another type of class or use part of that fee against a workshop or event or any other service that is provided by Fitskool.
  • Clients must ask about any available slots to make up at the same time as informing the teacher of an absence. We will do our best to help.
  • Membership of Fitskool Online Studio is available to all currrent and paying clients, where they make take a pre recorded class to make up a missed in person session.

Payments
    • Payment of the set fee reserves the booked place on that day and time.
    • The monthly payment can be cancelled by the client at any time -however, unless one month notice is provided this will result in immediate loss of that class place.

    Paying for classes by standing order over 12 months

    • The full terms and conditions apply as set out above, and in addition the following terms apply:
    • Paying over 12 months is available to clients on Mat classes and/or equipment classes either booked for one or more classes weekly.
    • The monthly payment scheme usually represents a saving on the cost per class price over 12 months and therefore the following terms apply:
    • The monthly scheme entitles the client to attend their chosen class on a designated day and time only. The client accepts that their booking is based upon receipt of the funds every month. The place will be reserved on the chosen course until the client notifies Fitskool limited of their wish to cancel within the notice period of a minimum one month.
    • The monthly scheme does not entitle the client to any extra classes, refunds for missed classes, or priority bookings.
    • Fitskool classes exclude scheduled holiday periods. The classes calendar begins on the 1st September and ends 31st August the following year.
    • Clients understand and accept that the monthly payments are for a reserved place over the 12 months and are not on cost a per class basis.
    • The first payment must be received in advance of the first class booked and thereafter monthly, in equal instalments at the same time of the month.
    • Fitskool Limited reserves the right to refuse entry to the monthly payment scheme or to cancel the scheme at any time.

    Notice to cancel booked classes

    • Clients may cancel their booked place at any time. A minimum notice period of 4 weeks is required to cancel the place when utilising the monthly payment scheme.
    • When cancelling courses on the monthly payment scheme, all classes must have been paid for and include those reserved by the client up to the date of the final class of the course. For example, if two months have been reserved, the monthly fees paid to date must cover the costs of all classes available to that client on the chosen course. This condition includes classes missed or cancelled and not made up. Therefore, if more classes have been reserved on a course than have been paid for, a fee may become due.
    • Late notice cancellations of pop up classes that have not been paid for may incur a fee.

    Workshops, ad hoc classes and events

    • Workshops and ad hoc classes can be booked provisionally by email.
    • An email will be sent to all provisionally booked attendees requesting payment in full.
    • Workshops and ad hoc classes must then be paid for in order to secure a place. If payment is not received by the specified time, the place will be cancelled.
    • Cancellations must be received within one week of the workshop or payment may become due.
    • Refunds are not possible unless we can fill the place and we have sufficient notice of cancellation of at least two weeks.
    • Transfer to another suitable workshop may be possible with the required notice however, this is at the discretion of Fitskool Limited.
    • Terms may vary for different workshops. For guest speakers and workshop providers, alternative terms will be in place. Please request to see the terms and conditions provided by the visiting teacher.

    Private sessions

    • Please pay your fee at the time of booking.
    • There are no refunds for cancelled sessions.
    • A regular time and day for private sessions cannot be guaranteed , therefore clients are required to book well in advance to secure a preferred day and time.

    • Cancellation by Fitskool
