Goals and Policies
Important information – please read!
To better evaluate your needs and help develop your program, we require ALL new students at Pacific NW Pilates to begin with one private session with a fully certified instructor. Call us to schedule your first session.
• New students must pay a $65 deposit to sign up for an initial private evaluation session. This fee can be used to pay for the first lesson at the single private rate OR may be used towards payment of one of our introductory specials for new students. To apply the $65 to an introductory special, that special must be purchased on or before the day of the initial private session.
• Your initial session will include a postural analysis and an introduction to the basics of STOTT PILATES. This will help you and your instructor determine what is best for you. Your instructor may recommend that you continue with private session or join a group, depending upon your fitness level, goals and abilities.
• All classes and private sessions are by appointment only. All classes and sessions are one-hour long unless otherwise noted on the schedule. Students may book as many pre-paid classes or sessions as they want.
• All packages expire within six months from the date of purchase.
• The classes taught by trained apprentices (under supervision of a certified instructor) meet at specific weekly times. See the schedule at Private Session Discounts for more information.
• In the event that one of the participants in a semi-private class is unable to attend, the class may be upgraded to a private class for an additional $20.00.
• If you are practicing pilates before pregnancy, you can safely continue through your pregnancy with permission from your doctor.
• Wear comfortable exercise clothes but avoid oversized tops so your instructor can better observe your alignment. Wearing socks is fine, but students may not wear shoes in the studio.
• Gift certificates are available.
• Many people are sensitive to fragrances, so please refrain from using perfumes before you come to the studio.
• Cell phones should be turned off and supervised children must remain in the lobby.
• Our instructors are highly qualified fitness professionals. To benefit from different teaching styles, we recommend training with more than one instructor.
• The exercise methods taught as Pacific NW Pilates may be done daily. We recommend classes or sessions two to three times per week to get started on a fitness program.
• Our studio policies are developed with you in mind!
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policies
24-hour advance notice is required to change or cancel an appointment without charge. All appointments may be cancelled by leaving a phone message, using the online scheduling program, sending an email to info@pacificnwpilates.com or in person at the studio. The time of your call or email will be noted. Both parties in a scheduled semi-private session are responsible for canceling their appointment with 24 hours.
All pre-paid private sessions are fully transferable, with 24-hour notice, but are not refundable. You may apply the price of a pre-paid session towards another class or session or you may allow a friend or family member to use your pre-paid session (the first session for a new student will be used for evaluation)
