Be:Poised Pilates Ltd reserves the right to amend additional member benefits in accordance with business needs.  In the event of changes to member benefits, Be:Poised Pilates Ltd will communicate these changes to existing members at least 30 days in advance of the changes being implemented where reasonably possible to do so. 

The availability of certain membership benefits might be affected by events outside of the company’s reasonable control. In such situations Be:Poised Pilates Ltd shall make reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and keep members informed of the circumstances. Examples of events which might be beyond the company’s reasonable control include illness, pandemics, epidemics, IT issues and problems with hosting providers, any law or action taken by a government or public authority.  In the event that membership resources are not available in whole or in part at any time, Be:Poised Pilates Ltd shall have no liability in any circumstances.

In order to gain access to the on demand resources in the members video library you will need a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet connection and working audio.  Members are responsible for ensuring they have the correct equipment and that any necessary software is kept up to date.

The resolution and quality of the online resources you receive will depend on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using and your bandwidth, which may fluctuate during the course of your viewing. Whilst Be:Poised Pilates Ltd uses all reasonable endeavours to provide a quality viewing experience, no guarantee can be made as to the resolution or quality of the content you will receive.

 

2. Unlimited Group Classes – Inclusions and Exclusions: 

“Unlimited Group Classes” is defined as an unlimited number of attendances per month in any of the following classes:

  • Group Pilates Mat Classes:  Includes Classical Pilates Mat, Strong Foundations Mat, Pilates for Pregnancy Mat Class and Mum & Baby Friendly Mat class.

  • Group Pilates Apparatus Classes

Classes must be booked in advance.  Class size limits apply and attendance is subject to space being available in the class at the time of booking.  For classes that are fully booked, use of the waiting list function is recommended.  If a class member cancels their booking and you are on the waiting list you will automatically be notified that a space has become available and given the option to book.   Members have early access to class bookings compared with non-members.  Members are responsible for managing their own bookings.  

Late Cancel and No Show Fee:  To ensure fair usage and prevent space-blocking in busy classes a penalty fee will be charged for late cancellations and no shows for group class bookings made with a Gold Membership.    A late cancellation is defined as a group class cancellation made less than 6 hours before the start time of the class.  A no show is defined as a booking for a class that the member did not turn up to and no cancellation was made. 

For each late cancellation or no show, a £10 fee will be charged. 

We understand that sometimes plans change and late cancellations or no shows may occasionally happen. In the event of excessive late cancellations or no shows over an ongoing period of time we may discuss attendance concerns with you, and if not resolved this may result in your membership being revoked.

Exclusions: The following are not included within your unlimited group class bookings benefit:

  • Private sessions, including 1:1s and private duets, trios and groups. 

    • Members are able to book private sessions at an additional cost.  Members receive a 20% discount on all private sessions (automatically applied within the booking system)

  • Workshops and special events

    • Members are able to book workshop and event tickets at a special member rate that includes a 10% discount compared with the standard ticket price.  A discount code is required at checkout. 

 

3. Fees and Payment: 

Be:Devoted Gold Membership is a 12 month subscription package, payable in 12 monthly instalments of £140 per calendar month.   

Your first payment will be taken on the start date of your membership.  You will continue to be charged on a monthly basis for the duration of the 12 month subscription.

Payments are managed via the BSport booking platform.  You are responsible for ensuring your payment details are kept up to date for the duration of your membership term.

The membership fee is calculated taking into account planned studio closures for the year and a generous contingency for staff absence and unforeseen class cancellations over the full 12 month period.  The full package price is divided into 12 equal sums that are charged on a monthly basis over the course of the period.   Therefore no adjustments, pauses or refunds will be given for months in which members have attended less classes than usual due to studio closures, class cancellations or their own personal circumstances such as holidays and illness. 

 

4. Managing your membership.

Be:Devoted Gold Membership is a fixed 12 month term subscription.  When subscribing to the membership you are agreeing to remain in a member for the full duration of the membership period. 

Pausing your membership:  In very exceptional circumstances the studio may agree to pause your membership for a defined period of time.  Examples may include significant surgery such as joint replacements where you are advised to rest for a defined period of time that is more than 1 month.  Requests to pause membership should, where possible, be made in writing to Be:Poised Pilates in advance of the required start date of the membership pause.  If agreed your membership will be paused from the end of the current billing month.  Retrospective adjustments for weeks missed cannot be made.    Your member benefits will not be available to you whilst your membership is paused.

Cancelling your Membership:  Your membership subscription is for a set 12 month term.  Your subscription will automatically come to an end at the end of the 12 month period.  If you choose to cancel your membership early your monthly payments will continue to be processed until the end of the subscription term and you will be liable for any overdue sums.   Only in very exceptional circumstances may early termination be possible without incurring future payments.  Requests for early termination must be made in writing to Be:Poised Pilates Ltd stating the reason for termination.    Membership fees are non-refundable.  No refunds will be given for months that have already been billed.

Renewing your Membership:  Be:Devoted Gold Membership is a 12 month subscription.  At the end of the 12 month period your membership will come to an end.  No further payments will be due and all member benefits will cease.  To continue to receive your membership benefits you will need to sign up to a new membership package, or select to Auto-renew within your BSport user profile.

You should never delay seeking medical advice, disregard medical advice or discontinue medical treatment because of information in the membership.

It is important to realise that you should stop whenever you wish, especially if you feel tired or any discomfort. None of the exercises should cause you to experience any pain. If you should experience any pain from any of the exercises, you should stop the exercises immediately.

Always seek the advice of your GP if you are experiencing mental health difficulties and discuss with a qualified health professional before making any changes to existing psychological treatment. Practising relaxation exercises is not recommended for persons experiencing active post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major trauma. Do not undertake any Mindfulness or relaxation content if this applies to you. Never participate in relaxation and mindfulness exercises whilst driving or operating machinery.
