Policies + Information

Solo + Duet Equipment Sessions and Reformer Classes:

• 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: If a booked Solo, Duet, or Reformer Class reservation is cancelled within 24 hours of the start time or if the client does not show, the full fee for that session will still be charged. Rescheduling requests within 24 hours of start time are also subject to this policy. 24-hour cancellation policies are industry standard among Pilates studios, to protect instructors' time and livelihood. (A rare exception may be made in case of true emergency or sudden illness / injury.) Instead of late canceling, that session may be used by anyone of your choosing (friend / family member) – they would just need to fill out our intake forms. *Due to limited availability, if a standing Solo client cancels frequently, their standing reservation may be subject to forfeit.

• Duet Session Cancellation Policy: The same 24 hour policy applies to Duet Sessions. Duet clients with a standing reservation understand that a commitment has been made to attend as consistently as possible, similar to a Solo Session (Cancellation of one Duet partner is not, in itself, reason for the other partner to also cancel). If one partner cancels more than 24 hours before an appointment, the remaining partner is upgraded to a Solo Session, and pays the difference between a Duet and a Solo. If one partner late cancels, the other partner will receive a Solo session for the price of a Duet. To simplify billing, we have Flex Packages for standing Duet clients. *If a Duet partner cancels frequently, their standing reservation may be subject to forfeit.

• Fragrances: Please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, or other fragranced products. We take this seriously, for health reasons.

• Session Length: Solo and Duet sessions are 55 minutes.

• Attire: Wear comfortable clothing in which you can move freely, and please leave your shoes by the entrance.

• Cell Phones: Please silence all devices prior to the start of your session.

• Scheduling: Manage your bookings and keep track of packages with our online scheduler... reach out if you need help! We're currently upgrading our system. If you receive an appointment reminder email for a session you had meant to cancel or change, sign in to your account to adjust your schedule. If a client fails to make a scheduling change, and the session in question remains booked, that session will be subject to the 24-hour late cancellation policy. We appreciate your making changes as far in advance as possible.

• Confirmations: Appointment confirmations are emailed to clients at the time a service is booked. Reminders are emailed 3 days prior to each appointment. Rescheduling and cancellation confirmations are emailed at the time a change is made.

• Payment: All payment is due at or before the time of service, and may be made by credit card or check payable to Waynesville Pilates. All sales are final.

• Local vs. Seasonal Resident Rates: Local clients who live here consistently year-round receive a lower rate, in appreciation for their consistent patronage. If a "local rate" purchase is incorrectly made, Waynesville Pilates reserves the right to retroactively amend that purchase by charging the same credit card the difference in price.

If the client does not contact the studio with 2 hours notice, the session will still be charged.

  • For afternoon & evening sessions (after 1:00PM): If Haywood Community College cancels or delays afternoon and/or evening classes, a client may cancel or reschedule their appointment, but must call, text, or email at least 2 hours before their scheduled session.
