Studio bookings and sessions
Sessions at Oyster Pilates are by prior appointment. Classes run Monday to Saturday; the studio is closed on Sundays. Each session is 50 minutes — arrive 5–10 minutes early. Late arrival shortens your session; it does not extend it. Anti-slip socks are recommended for reformer work. Phones must stay on silent during sessions.
- Cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours in advance.
- Re-book cancelled slots within your package validity.
- Late cancellations (under 12 hours) and no-shows count as a session.
Packages and payments
- Packages have a fixed number of sessions and fixed validity (as shown at purchase). Unused sessions lapse at the end of validity unless the studio agrees otherwise in writing.
- Packages are generally non-transferable and fees are non-refundable except as in our refund policy.
- Payments are due in advance. Online payments are processed by our payment partner.
- Delivery of digital package activation and in-studio services is described in our Shipping & Delivery Policy.
Health declaration and liability
Before your first session you complete a health declaration and participation consent. You must inform your coach of medical conditions, injury, pain, or pregnancy, and of changes in your health. We may ask for medical clearance where appropriate.
You voluntarily assume risks associated with participation and release the studio, its owners, and instructors from liability for injury, loss or damage arising from participation, except in cases of gross negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Rules of conduct
- Maintain studio hygiene and respect fellow clients and coaches.
- Follow coach instructions; do not use apparatus unsupervised.
- The studio may refuse or end a session that is unsafe or disruptive; such sessions count as used.
