Upon receiving instructor approval, students between 16 and 17 may attend group classes with a parent or guardian present at the studio during the entire duration of the class.

Lost and Found

Tribe Pilates is not responsible for items lost, misplaced, or stolen while visiting a studio. However, our community of clients look out for one another and often return found items to the front desk. If you think you may have lost something, contact Tribe Pilates staff at info@tribepilatesstudio.com to check! Items are held at the desk disposed on a month-to-month basis.

Dog Policy

Tribe Pilates is a dog friendly studio with the following rules put in place for the safety of all our guests, clients and staff: All dogs visiting our studio must be accompanied by their owner. Dogs are not allowed in the classrooms, class area or privates area of the studio. If the owner is taking class, Tribe Pilates requires that a well-behaved dog remain in a bag or carrier in the lobby area of the studio while they are unattended by their owner. At no time will Tribe Pilates staff be responsible for the care of a client’s dog. If at any time a dog is disruptive, Tribe Pilates reserves the right to pull their owner out of class without refund or compensation for the missed portion of class. Tribe Pilates is not responsible for any injury to the owner, other clients or instructor sustained by a dog while at the studio. In the case of a dog causing injury or damage to the studio, the owner, other clients or the instructor then the owner is responsible.  In the event another client attending the same class has a severe allergy to dogs then we reserve the right to have the dog removed from the entire studio.

Class Switch Policy

Class switches are not permitted. Late switches cause open reformers in waitlisted classes, which prevents a fellow student from getting into class. Please only book classes you can definitely attend. Late cancel fees will apply if the request is made within 12 hours of the class for unlimited members. Single or package reformer class members are unable to switch classes once the 12 hour cancellation window has lapsed.

Class Lateness Policy

Clients are only permitted to enter within 5 minutes after a class starts to keep our clients safe and the flow of class moving. Please arrive 10 minutes early to secure your spot. If you are not present promptly at class start time, your spot can be given to a client waiting on standby after that 5 minute period lapses. If you are denied class entry due to lateness, you may attend a later class.

Waitlist Policy

Our system will automatically add you to class if a spot becomes available within a reasonable period of time prior to the start of class.  We recommend continuing to check the schedule in case a spot does open up and you can manually add yourself to class as well. Standard cancellation policies apply. If you anticipate you will not be able to attend class, simply remove yourself from the waitlist 12 hours in advance to avoid late cancel fees. You will receive an email or text notification confirming when you have been added to class from the waitlist.

Class Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your reservation with no charge up to 12 hours prior to the start of your scheduled class. Tribe Pilates has a strict 12 hour cancellation policy. Cancellations made with less than 12 hours notice will result in a $15 Late Cancel fee for members and non-members. You will still retain your single class credit.

Cancelled classes cannot be switched within the 12 hour window. All sales are final.

Class No Show Policy

If you are not going to make it to class please make every effort to cancel to allow another client to take your spot. Absence to class without a cancellation will result in a $20 No Show fee for members and non-members. You will still retain your single class credit.

Private and Duet Cancellation Policy

Private and Duet Sessions have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule, cancel, or miss your session, you will be charged for the full cost of the session or one will be deducted from your package.

Class Expiration Policy

Standard single session and package classes expire 8 months (220 days) from the date of purchase. All Tribe Pass packages expire 30 days from the date of purchase.

Extension Policy

We do not allow any extensions of your existing packages. You must use your classes in your given package time period.

Monthly Unlimited Membership Usage Policy

All monthly unlimited memberships and packages are limited to one class per member per day.

Monthly Unlimited Membership Hold Policy

All members receive one free hold per twelve-month year. For example: If you suspend your membership from May 15th, 2019 to June 20th, 2019 you would not receive another courtesy suspension until after May 15th, 2020.

Monthly Unlimited Membership Cancellation Policy

For example: If your payments process on the 14th of each month and you wish for August to be your LAST month of classes, you would request cancellation on or before August 1st to avoid any further payment. If it comes after August 1st then your last payment would take place on August 14th and your last day to join us for classes would be September 13th. Membership monthly rate will be honored as long as membership is maintained. Reinstated membership will be sold at current market rate following cancellation.

6 Month Unlimited Membership Cancellation Policy

Members may cancel their monthly membership with 30 days written via email notice and the payment of one final month dues. You will receive an email confirmation outlining your cancellation.

For example: If your payments process on the 14th of each month and you wish for August to be your LAST month of classes, you would request cancellation on or before July 14th to avoid any further payment. If it comes after July 14th then your last payment would take place on August 14th and your last day to join us for classes would be September 13th.

Form fitting and comfortable exercise clothing similar to what one would wear to yoga is recommended.

We recommend an under garment for men as you will be lying down and shorts do ride up. Please do not wear pants that are not draping over your feet as that could interfere with your performance and be dangerous to you and other clients. Pilates is meant to be taken barefoot similar to yoga so grip socks are optional. Hygiene is of the utmost importance and equipment is wiped down and disinfected before and after every class.
