Terms of Service

Ontario Consumer Rights. If you are an Ontario consumer, your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (the “CPA”) apply. Where these Terms conflict with the CPA, the CPA prevails.

By maintaining a card on file, you authorize Pilates Hub Newmarket to charge that card for class fees, membership dues, late cancellations, no-shows, administrative charges, retail purchases you approve, and other amounts permitted by these Terms and posted studio policies. All card data is processed by our third-party payment processor in compliance with PCI-DSS standards; we do not store full card numbers on our systems.

4. Booking & Class Rules

Repeated violations may result in removal from class without refund, account suspension, or membership termination.

7. User Content & Studio Media

By attending classes or studio events, you acknowledge that photography or videography may occur. We post notices when filming/photography is scheduled. We may use studio-captured images or recordings that incidentally include you for promotional or educational purposes, without payment. We will not sell client likenesses. To opt out of identifiable appearances, email info@pilateshub.ca in advance; seating or positioning adjustments may be required.

8. Memberships & Billing

8.1 Structure & Term: Memberships are month-to-month and renew automatically unless cancelled in accordance with this section.

8.2 Minimum Commitment: All memberships require an initial three-(3)-month commitment, after which they continue on a monthly basis until cancelled.

8.3 Cancellation: Cancellation is not permitted during the initial three-month term except as required by law. Thereafter, cancellations must be requested by email to info@pilateshub.ca at least thirty (30) days before the next billing date.

8.4 Freeze Option: Members may freeze their membership once per calendar year for a maximum of one (1) month, subject to a $45 administrative fee. Medical exceptions are unlimited and fee-waived with documentation. Freeze requests must be submitted at least seven (7) days prior to the next billing date and must specify both a start and end (unfreeze) date. If no end date is provided, the freeze will default to four (4) weeks. Exceeding the annual freeze limit may result in cancellation at the end of the current term and loss of any grandfathered pricing.

8.5 Late Cancellation & No-Show Policy: To ensure fair access to high-demand classes, cancellations must occur at least twelve (12) hours before class time. Cancellations within 12 hours or no-shows will result in the loss of the applicable class credit.

8.6 Credit Rollover: Unused class credits do not roll over between billing cycles. Credits must be used within the month of issue.

8.7 Billing Cycle: Recurring billing occurs monthly based on the initial purchase or activation date. Auto-renewal payments will continue until properly cancelled in writing.

8.8 Tier Changes: Members may upgrade their membership tier at any time. Downgrades or further tier changes require completion of at least three (3) billing cycles at the new level. Any tier change or cancellation results in forfeiture of prior (“grandfathered”) rates; the current pricing will apply to the new tier.

8.9 Price Changes: Pilates Hub Newmarket reserves the right to modify membership pricing with thirty (30) days’ prior notice.

8.10 Statutory Rights: Nothing in this section limits rights provided under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario).

8.11 Non-Transferability: No Sharing. Memberships, class credits generated by memberships, and any promotional entitlements are personal to the account holder and may not be sold, shared, assigned, or transferred to any other person. Account sharing, booking on behalf of another person, or allowing another person to attend under your name is prohibited. We may request government ID to verify identity and may suspend or terminate accounts for suspected sharing, resale, or fraud, without refund. Accounts found to be shared may be suspended or terminated; any remaining credits may be forfeited. For clarity, gift cards may be redeemed by the bearer but are not redeemable for cash except where required by law. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., relocation, serious illness), transfers may be approved at our sole discretion and may be subject to an administrative fee.

9. Class Packs & Workshops

Class Pack Expiry: Unless otherwise stated, class packs expire four (4) months from the date of your first booked class using the pack. Unused credits expire and do not roll over.

Non-Transferability. Class packs and any associated credits are issued for individual use only and are non-transferable and non-shareable. Credits may not be pooled across accounts, resold, or used by any person other than the named account holder. Lost or stolen class packs/credits will not be replaced, except as required by law. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., relocation, serious illness), transfers may be approved at our sole discretion and may be subject to an administrative fee.

10. Studio Class Cancellation by Studio

Pilates Hub Newmarket reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any class up to two (2) hours before the scheduled start time if minimum attendance requirements are not met or if unforeseen circumstances arise. Affected clients will be notified by email, SMS, or push notification, and the class credit will automatically be returned to the account. If we permanently cease offering classes at the Studio or materially relocate services such that your access is substantially impaired, you may request a prorated refund of prepaid, unused amounts as required by the CPA.

Service interruptions due to force majeure (e.g., public health orders, utility outages) will be handled per our Force Majeure policy; we will provide reasonable alternatives where feasible.

11. Private Sessions, Events & Workshops

Workshops: Non-refundable; if Pilates Hub Newmarket cancels, you may choose a full refund or credit.

Private sessions and special events (e.g., corporate or group bookings) must be prepaid in full to confirm the reservation.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled start time are non-refundable. Late arrivals beyond 15 minutes may result in session forfeiture to maintain schedule flow.

Corporate & Private Events:

  • External Items: A $50 cleaning fee applies for external decorations, catering, or personal items brought onto the premises.

  • Per-Person Pricing: Group events may be charged on a per-attendee basis as stated in the event agreement.

  • Payment: Full payment is required within 48 hours of booking confirmation to secure the date; otherwise, the reservation may be cancelled.

  • Cancellation & Attendance: No refunds for cancellations less than 48 hours prior. Events starting more than 15 minutes late may be forfeited to preserve scheduling fairness.

12. Payments, Refunds & Gift Cards

  • Payments processed via secure third-party processor (currently Stripe); we do not store full card numbers. If a payment is reversed, declined, or charged back, we may assess a reasonable administrative fee and suspend booking privileges until the account is current.

  • All sales are final and non-refundable, except as required by law.

  • Gift Cards: No expiry, no fees, usable for any service or retail, non-redeemable for cash (except where required by law).

Refunds: All sales are final except as required by law. Class packs become non-refundable once any class is used. Membership fees are non-refundable for the current billing cycle once credits are used. Unused class packs or credits expire as stated at purchase and cannot be extended, except where required by the CPA.

13. Product Use Disclaimer

Any retail products sold through our Site or Studio should be used strictly according to their provided instructions. Information on the Site is for general wellness purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional regarding any medical concerns. Pilates Hub Newmarket is not responsible for adverse reactions arising from undisclosed allergies or use contrary to product instructions.

14. Marketing Communications

Marketing emails/SMS/push are sent only with consent under Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). See our Privacy Policy for details.

SMS: Message and data rates may apply; frequency may vary; carriers not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

15. Assumption of Risk and Health Acknowledgment

See also Section 16 (Health and Safety) for pregnancy-specific requirements and guidance.

Pilates Hub Newmarket offers physical exercise classes involving strength, flexibility, and balance training using specialized equipment such as reformers, and spring-based apparatus. Participation in these activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, falls, and in rare cases, more serious injury. You understand and voluntarily assume all such risks, including any aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions.

You affirm that you are in good physical condition and do not have any medical conditions that may be adversely affected by Pilates exercise or equipment, including recent surgeries, acute injuries, severe osteoporosis, unstable blood pressure, or balance disorders. If you have any doubt about your ability to safely participate, you agree to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before attending class and to disclose any limitations or concerns to your instructor.

You further affirm that you are in good health and do not have medical conditions that may be adversely affected by environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity. If uncertain, you will consult a healthcare professional before participation.

The information provided by our instructors, staff, or through our Site and App is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. We strongly recommend consulting your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise or wellness program.

You agree not to participate in any Pilates class or use studio equipment if you are pregnant without prior medical clearance, if you have uncontrolled cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication impairing judgment or coordination.

16. Health and Safety

16.1 You understand and accept the inherent risks of physical activity. Notify instructors of injuries or limitations. Stop immediately if unwell.

16.2 Pregnancy Participation. Pilates can be highly beneficial during pregnancy but also carries specific risks, including abdominal strain, reduced circulation when lying supine, and increased fall risk due to hormonal effects on joint stability.

Clients who are pregnant must provide written clearance from a qualified healthcare provider before participating in any class or private session. While our instructors are trained to offer pregnancy-appropriate modifications, they are not medical professionals. Participation remains voluntary and at the member’s own risk.

By attending classes while pregnant, you acknowledge the inherent risks, agree to follow all instructor guidance and modifications, and accept responsibility for your own well-being and that of your unborn child. We may decline participation or require medical clearance where we reasonably believe participation would be unsafe.

Adherence to this policy is mandatory for the safety of both parent and child. Pilates Hub Newmarket is not liable for any pregnancy-related complications that may arise from participation. Clients are encouraged to listen to their bodies and communicate any discomfort immediately.

This Section 16 should be read together with Section 15 (Assumption of Risk and Health Acknowledgment).

17. Zero Tolerance & Conduct

Pilates Hub Newmarket maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against harassment, abuse, discrimination, or disrespectful conduct toward instructors, staff, or other clients.

Any verbal, physical, or digital harassment—including offensive language, intimidation, or discriminatory remarks—will result in immediate removal from class or studio access and may result in termination of membership without refund.

Incidents may be reported confidentially to info@pilateshub.ca. All reports are handled promptly and discreetly.

Prohibited Conduct Includes (but is not limited to):

  • Harassment, bullying, or intimidation based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected status.

  • Unwelcome physical contact, threats, or aggressive behaviour.

  • Sexual harassment, including inappropriate comments, gestures, or advances.

  • Disrespectful, demeaning, or abusive language.

  • Retaliation against any individual who reports misconduct.

Violations of this policy may result in immediate removal from class or the Studio, termination of membership without refund, and possible reporting to authorities if applicable.
