These terms and conditions (Terms and Conditions) are used where we enter into a contract with you. They set out your legal rights and responsibilities; our legal rights and responsibilities; and certain key information required by law.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:

  • you can ask us to repeat a service if it’s not carried out with reasonable care and skill;
  • if you haven’t agreed a price upfront, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable;
  • if you haven’t agreed a time upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.



This is a summary of your key rights. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The information in this summary box summarises some of your key rights. It is not intended to replace the contract below which you should read carefully.

  1. Introduction
    1. If you book any sessions with us, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions. You also agree to be legally bound by:
      1. extra terms which may add to, or replace some of, these Terms and Conditions. This may happen for security, legal or regulatory reasons, but we will contact you to let you know if we intend to do this by giving you one month’s notice; and
      2. specific terms which apply to certain services or related goods which we supply with the services. If you want to see these specific terms, please speak with us at the studio.

      All of the documents form part of our contract with you as though set out in full here.

  2. Information we give you
    1. By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see the summary box below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Typically, we will do this at the studio before you book any sessions with us. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in these Terms and Conditions.
    2. Information we will give you

      We will give you information on:

      • the main characteristics of the sessions we offer (i.e. pilates or physiotherapy);
      • who we are, where we are based and how you can contact us;
      • the total price of the sessions/services including any taxes (or where this cannot reasonably be worked out in advance, the manner in which we will work out the price);
      • the arrangements for payment, carrying out of the sessions/services and the time when we will carry out the sessions/services;
      • how to make a complaint;
      • how long the contract will last and how to end it.
    3. The key information we give you by law forms part of our contract with you (which incorporates these Terms and Conditions) as though it is set out in full here.
    4. If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.
  3. Your privacy and personal information

    1. Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.

    4. When you place your booking with us and make your payment, we will acknowledge it either at the studio or by email.
    5. We may contact you to say that we do not accept your booking. If we do this, we will try to tell you promptly why we do not accept your booking. This is typically for the following reasons:
      1. we cannot carry out the services (this may be because, for example, we have a shortage of staff);
      2. we cannot authorise your payment;
      3. you are not allowed to buy the services from us;

      5. there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the services.
    6. We will only accept your booking when we confirm with you at the studio or we will email you with confirmation. At this point:

    7. For physiotherapy if you are under the age of 16 you may not book any sessions with (or obtain any services from) us. For pilates you may not book a session with us if you are under the age of 18. In both cases sessions may be booked only with parental consent in writing.
  5. Carrying out of the services

    2. Our carrying out of the services might be affected by events or a sequence of events beyond our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event). If so, there might be a delay before we can restart the services, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having kept you informed of the circumstances, but we will try to restart the services as soon as those events have been fixed.
    3. Examples of events which might be beyond our reasonable control include (but are not limited to): (a) you changing the services you require; (b) an act of God, fire, flood, drought, earthquake, windstorm or other natural disaster; (c) adverse weather conditions; (d) law or governmental order; (e) epidemic or pandemic; (f) interruption of utility services; (g) collapse of building structures; or (h) malicious or negligent damage.
    4. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event which prevents or delays performance of the services we agree to provide to you, our obligations shall be suspended for so long as performance is not possible or delayed.
    5. For the avoidance of doubt, an inability to pay or market circumstances shall not be deemed a Force Majeure Event.
