Frequently asked questions

How do I get started?

If you are injured, in pain or prefer some individualised attention contact us to book in for an initial assessment. From there we have a few options to give you a good foundation. If you are looking for group fitness check out our 10 day class pass for only $60. The pass activates on the first day you attend and gives you a chance to try all the group options including reformer, mat and barre. Definitely book in for Intro reformer as your first class.

The easiest way to book a class or session is through our mobile app for Apple or Google Play.
I bought a pack but now I’m injured.
I am injured and I have a group class pack (mat or reformer).
I bought a group class pack but would like to transfer to studio semi privates.

Unfortunately we do not offer transfers on any of our passes. You have a couple of options: 1) Use the pass you currently have and then move across to another service or 2) if you are injured and not able to go to group class we will put your pass on hold while we help get you better with a studio pass so you can go back to group.
I am pregnant!

Congratulations! If you already have a class pass just continue to book in. Throughout your pregnancy you can go to barre basics and reformer align. If you have any niggles along the way we may reassess what service is most suitable. We see pregnancy as an opportunity for you to embrace your body and reformer align and barre basics classes or studio are both great for you. There’s no need to stop coming!
Do the class passes expire?

Yes. Each pass has an expiry date from the day you purchase it and we will send you reminders along the way so you have plenty of notice. We give you up to 4 months to use a 10 pack so you have plenty of time to use the pass. Remember consistency is key and if you don’t use it you’ll lose it. The only time we extend passes is if you purchase another one and we can put the old classes onto the new pass with the new expiry date.

What happens if I am on a contract and I need extended time out due to illness or injury?

Can I share my pass with family members.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
My doctor has told me not to come to Pilates.

If we don’t have a working relationship with your doctor they probably don’t realise that we are referred to by medical specialists when people have complex injuries, need support pre and post surgery or are living with disease. We are more than happy to discuss a management plan with your doctor so that we can work together for your better health. Current studies show that Pilates is beneficial for most injuries and disease and our studio services specialise in rehab and our staff have been working with injuries since 2007.

Contract Terms & Conditions

Contracts apply to those clients who have entered into an agreement where their visits are direct-debited on a monthly (for studio) or weekly (group class) basis. In 2020 all of our contracts are for 6 months except for VIP which is a 12 month subscription.

Registration Fee
Renewal & Rollover

Contracts automatically renew after the initial period (i.e. 6 months) and client will receive a reminder from Mindbody that the contract is about to roll over.

If you choose to roll over the contract after the first term you will be grandfathered the price you are currently paying. This means that even if we have a price rise or if we stop selling that particular contract, it will still be offered to you at the same price as long as you choose to rollover.

If the client rolls over they will not incur another $165 fee. This is a one off payment and will keep you in VIP Lounge for the entirety of their contract or for 12 months from the start date of the first contract, which ever is longer.

If the client chooses not to roll over after the initial term of the contract ie (i.e. 6 months), you will still have access to VIP Lounge for the first 12 months total.

If the client chooses not to roll over after the initial term you must give us notice in writing a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the automatic rollover date.

Once the contract rolls over it will generate a new term that is equal to the initial term (i.e. 6 months).
How to Purchase & Manage your Contract

A copy of the contract is available on the Mindbody desktop version. Clients can login using their email go to MY ACCOUNT > scroll down to name of contract > VIEW.

A contract can be purchased online in the desktop version of Mindbody > SHOP > CONTRACTS/PACKAGES or on the app > AUTOPAY. You must be logged in to purchase.

A client can request to change to a different contract at any stage in which case the current contract will be terminated and a new contract will be signed for a full term form the date of change over.

A contract can be suspended for leave. Leave can be requested in writing to info@encorepilates.com.au at a minimum of 1 week prior to the leave dates. Clients should take into account payment dates and request leave at least 1 week prior to a payment is automatically debited relative to the leave requested. In the event of contract suspension, the contract end date will then move to allow for completion of the term (i.e. a 6 month contract that is suspended for 1 month will take 7 months to complete so that the full payment terms are debited).

Changes & Cancellation

Contracts can not be transferred or refunded. A cancellation fee of $165 will be incurred if you can not fulfill the remainder of your contract due to relocation.

Services can not be transferred (i.e. a reformer contract does not allow for semi private attendance or vice versa).

In the event of injury, clients on group class can suspend the contract and purchase a studio semi private pack to use for rehabilitation until you are well enough to return to group class where the contract will come out of suspension and the term completed.
