Studio Policies

Small Groups: 

Registration & Payment

  • Registration is first come, first serve

  • All clients will receive verbal reminders in class, as well as registration links sent via text to remind you to reserve your spot for the next class series 

  • All clients are responsible for reserving and paying for the upcoming class series, your spot is not reserved until payment has been received.

  • Linnea is able to prorate the cost of the class series, for up to 1 missed class per series. You must communicate this with Linnea prior to payment and she will send you a prorated payment link. 

  • In the event that Linnea is sick and needs to cancel class, she will issue a partial refund from the class series, equivalent to the cost of the class missed. 

Vacations & Missed Classes

  • The Studio maintains a strict no refund and no transfer policy for small groups.  This is the simplest way to maintain fairness to your fellow students while providing compensation to the instructors for their time and commitment to your health. Therefore we cannot make exceptions for any reason, medical or otherwise. We thank you in advance for honoring this policy.

  • If you know ahead of time (prior to payment for an upcoming class series) that you will be on vacation or otherwise have a planned absence from class then Linnea can pro-rate you for up to one missed class per series.  You must communicate this with Linnea prior to payment and she will send you a prorated payment link.

Account History & Management 

 

Other Small Group FAQ's

  • You do not need to bring a mat with you to class. All equipment is provided and will be cleaned thoroughly by the instructor after class.

  • Please store your personal belongings in the cubbies or on the coat rack.  Shoes can be left outside under the bench in the hallway.

  • Feel free to show up for class up to 10 minutes early, you are welcome to make tea, use the changing room, or grab a foam roller and start warming up. 

  • You can reply to the confirmation texts to let us know that you are running late, or if you will not be making it to class. 

  • Don't forget to leave time to park.   

Private Instruction: 

Standing Appointments

  • Standing appointments allow you to prioritize your health while simplifying the process of scheduling.  With standing appointments it is understood that your appointment time is reserved solely for your use and is not available for other clients to book into.  For this reason the studio requests a minimum of 3 months commitment if you choose to select standing appointments.  The reservation itself will continue into the future until otherwise changed, so please give as much advanced notice as possible if and when your schedule changes. 

  • Clients are encouraged to reschedule, rather than cancel sessions whenever possible.  This improves your results because it maintains consistency, even as schedules change and vacations happen. Sessions can be canceled without charge with at least 24 hours of advanced notice. 

  • You need to use your standing appointment time (or a rescheduled time) at least 80% of the time, in order for us to continue reserving that time slot for you.  Clients with standing appointment who are using their appointment time less than 80% of the time will be asked to switch to online scheduling. 

Scheduling

  • Online scheduling is available to all clients and helps you schedule, reschedule, or cancel your sessions 24/7 with immediate access to my current availability. 

  • For clients with standing appointments, please use the online client scheduling app to either reschedule or cancel your sessions. 

  • You are also welcome to schedule sessions in person at the studio, simply let me know when you come in that you would like to take some time at the end of your session to look at schedules. 

  • You can manage your account and see all of your account history when you download the client scheduling app.  Download the client app by clicking here.  You can also watch a tutorial for support and guidance here. 

Purchasing Sessions and Packages

  • Private sessions can be purchased either one at a time, or in packages of 4, 8, or 12 sessions. The package size is meant to correlate with the number of sessions you plan to use within one month.  Please note expiration dates of packages when making your purchase.  For clients who are scheduling online (without standing appointment's) please note that I am unable to guarantee availability, so it may be best to purchase sessions one at a time.

  • What do I need to bring with me to my session/class? 

Comfortable workout clothing is all you need to bring with you.  Some clients like to bring pilates socks (grippy socks) this is not required, but it can be nice for you to have.  Sessions will happen barefoot or in socks, and regular socks can be slippery, posing a safety risk.

  • I’m new to virtual fitness- what do I need to know and how do I set up? 

Welcome to virtual fitness!  It’s easier than you think! Here are a few things to keep in mind, to ensure a great experience.  Firstly, upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link for the virtual call. Please make sure you have good lighting (not silhouetted) and contrasting colors can help your instructor to see you better.  If the class size is large the instructor may mute participants, please feel free to unmute yourself to ask questions, and/or use the chat bar to request specific areas of interest or explain injuries or issues you are experiencing. 

  • How do I know if I need private sessions? 

Private instruction is best for anyone who feels the need to have more attention and individualized programming. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort that isn’t remedied by group classes, or especially if taking the group class feels like it may be aggravating instead of helping your issues.  Please note that I am a personal trainer and pilates instructor and not a doctor.  With that said I’ve worked with hundreds of different issues, injuries, and conditions and I am happy to also be in contact and communicate with your other health care providers.  Most clients enjoy the regular accountability and consistency of having sessions on a weekly basis.  Others prefer to seek guidance and support and then work on their own for a few weeks before booking another follow-up.  The choice is yours.

------------------------—------------------------—--
4. ASSUMPTION OF RISK & WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO
CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19
—------------------------—------------------------—

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 and its variants, has been declared a worldwide
pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. It is believed that an individual can be infected with COVID-19 without their knowledge and be asymptomatic. The health and safety of our clients is one of our top priorities. In the wake of COVID-19, Limber Arts LLC (the “Business”) and Limber Arts LLC (the “Instructor”) have implemented additional measures designed to provide you, our client, with a safe and positive experience, and to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (see below.) The pandemic circumstances require that all participants in the Instructor’s training sessions, classes, workshops, events, activities, and/or other programs (the “Session”) assume personal responsibility for the risks of participation in consideration for their participation in a Session.

Despite all of the precautions that you, other studio members, guests, individuals,
Instructor and representatives may take, the Instructor cannot guarantee that you will not become exposed to or infected with COVID-19, or that if infected, that you will not pass COVID-19 to others. Attending any Session hosted by the Instructor may increase your risk of contracting COVID-19, as does touching surfaces; using the equipment, facilities, and amenities; direct and/or indirect interactions with other studio members, guests or those who have COVID-19, or have been exposed to COVID-19. Consequently, you acknowledge and understand the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that by attending and participating in an Instructor Session you, and through you, your family, friends and others, may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19. Such exposure and/or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at, during or related to an Instructor Session may result either from COVID-19 itself and the inability of any action or series of actions to entirely prevent exposure to, transmission of, or infection by COVID-19. It also may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Business and Instructor’s representatives,
yourself, or others, including, but not limited to other Session participants.

Knowing this, you voluntarily assume all risks and dangers related to participation in
the Instructor’s Session, whether described in this document, otherwise known or
unknown, and accept sole responsibility for any injury to yourself, including but not
limited to, personal injury, illness, disability, or death, as well as any damages, losses,
claims, liabilities, actions or expenses of any kind arising from or related in any way to

COVID-19 and your participation in an Instructor Session, and the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Instructor’s representatives and agents (the “Claims”) Further, you hereby release, indemnify, discharge, defend and hold harmless the Instructor and its representatives, employees, and agents, from the Claims to the fullest extent permitted by law.
