Studio Policies
-
We do not allow video recording during class.
To help create a safe, welcoming, and distraction-free experience for everyone, video recording during class is not permitted.
You'll be asked to put away your phone and any recording equipment before class begins. We love that you want to share your Arizona Pilates Studio experience, and you're always welcome to take photos before or after class and tag us!
During class, we ask that phones remain put away so you can stay present and focused while we maintain a comfortable environment for all clients and instructors.
For the safety of everyone in the studio, and respect of the space, please do not attach phones, cameras, tripods, mounts, or any recording devices to mirrors, walls, studio equipment, or furnishings at any time. Recording equipment can create tripping hazards, interfere with instruction, and may damage Studio property. Arizona Pilates Studio is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal recording equipment brought into the Studio.
This policy is in place to:
Protect the privacy of our clients and instructors.
Maintain a safe workout environment.
Eliminate distractions during class.
Ensure every client can enjoy their workout without being photographed or recorded.
Arizona Pilates Studio reserves the right to ask any client to discontinue filming or remove recording equipment at any time. Failure to comply with this policy may result in removal from class or suspension of studio privileges.
Thank you for helping us keep Arizona Pilates Studio a space where everyone can move, learn, and feel comfortable.This policy helps us protect the space, respect everyone’s privacy, and keep the focus on your workout — which is what we’re here for. 🙌

We require all class cancellations to be made at least 6 hours before your scheduled class time to avoid a fee.
If you cancel within the 6-hour window, a $15 late cancellation fee will apply.
This policy also applies if you are switching into a different class time—your original reservation must be cancelled outside of the 6-hour window to avoid fees.
If you text us to cancel within the late-cancel window, we will remove you from class and the $15 late-cancel fee will still apply. Messaging us does not override or bypass the cancellation policy.
We appreciate your understanding as this allows us to offer spots to other clients who are waiting to attend class.
-
If you are scheduled for a class and do not attend, a $25 no-show fee will be charged.
This policy ensures that reserved spots are respected and allows waitlisted clients the opportunity to attend class.
-
Classes begin promptly at the scheduled start time. We cannot hold the class for late arrivals.
If you are not present at the start of class, your spot may be released to a client on the waitlist.
If you arrive more than 5 minutes late, the instructor may not permit entry—even if a reformer is available—in order to avoid disruption and ensure the class flows safely and without interruption.
If you are not permitted entry or your spot has been given to a waitlisted client, you will be removed from the schedule and no charge will be applied.
We recommend arriving a few minutes early so you can settle in and be ready to begin on time.
-
We highly encourage you to bring your own pair of clean grip socks, or you can purchase some in the studio.

We’re here for good vibes only!
Some tips to keep in mind on how to be respectful when attending a group class:
Show up on time! Class starts as scheduled, please show up prior to the class start time to allow yourself to get settled in without disruption.
No phone/watch communication during class! Please be fully present during class by putting your phone away, and your watch on silent during class instruction.
No video recordings. Yes, we know we’re in the age of recording & sharing our awesome experiences & while we love for you to take pictures at the end of class & tag us, please refrain from recording during class instruction. This is to be respectful to your instructor, and the other people around you, who may not want to sweat on camera!
Follow instruction as given! Classes are a guided workout, and your instructor spends a lot of time to make a class plan that is effective & SAFE. Please adhere to the spring options your instructor gives you during class (specific springs are given for multiple reasons), and follow set-up and movement instruction. *This excludes your known modifications.
BE KIND! This one goes without saying, but please be kind to every person you encounter in the studio, including your instructor. We’re all here for personal growth, & a supportive, safe environment.
Stay for the entire class! Please plan your time accordingly so that you are able to stay for the full duration of class, including the slow-down at the end of class. If you do need to leave early, please let your instructor know ahead of time.
