Studio Etiquette

A warm welcome! We are so glad you are here!

We have a list of helpful etiquette rules to ensure all classes are enjoyable and meaningful for all participants. These rules will also help keep the studio in good working order.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the studio etiquette. See you in class!

Pilates Life Studio Etiquette

1.     Sessions start right on time and doors lock at start time. Please knock on door if arriving late. Traffic, important calls, or other unforeseen circumstances are totally understandable. Please try keep late arrivals to a minimum as what we do at the beginning of the session is important for the entire length of class.

2.     For hygienic purposes, please wear socks or sticky socks during class. No bare feet.

3.     Wait until your instructor begins the class before using the equipment.

4.     Silence all cell phones and/or other electronics that may cause distraction or interrupt the class. 

5.     Avoid wearing fragrances while attending classes here at the studio. 

6.     Please do not wear clothes with buttons, snaps, or zippers to class as they can scratch the vinyl.

7.     Do not wear outside shoes in the studio (outside shoes are left near benches inside the studio near the front door). For cardio classes, you are welcome to wear inside-only shoes (minimalist style/ zero-drop is best), if you prefer.

8.     Treat all equipment with respect and care. Some examples: please do not slam down sitting box onto carriage nor drag across floor, no outdoor shoes on equipment, do not put drinks on equipment, avoid letting go of springs if there is tension in them

9.     Your instructors will use hands-on queuing to help you achieve effective form. If you are uncomfortable being touched, please let your instructor know.

10.  Please respect your neighbour and avoid talking too much or negatively during class. Having a question to receive clarity about an exercise being presented is always welcomed. Let's be empowered to move :D

11.  Be kind and respectful to staff and fellow participants at all times. Harassment or rude behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. Immediate cancellation of services will result.

It is important to us here at Pilates Life Studio that all clients have a great experience. If etiquette guidelines are not being followed, Amy will connect individually with that client to see how to we can make everyone's experience a rewarding one.
