• The Pilates Center of Kona / GYROTONIC® Kona is a place of focused nergy and tranquility. We ask that you please respect the privacy of other students and their wish to practice Pilates, GYROTONIC® or receive their Massage in our calm, peaceful studio.

• Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your session or class starts.

• Refrain from eating an hour before your session or class (a light snack is fine).
• Wear comfortable clothes; leave your shoes in the lobby.
• Turn cell phones off before entering the Studio.
• It is important to let the instructor know if you have any condition or injury before your session or class starts. If you are pregnant, please communicate this to the instructor at the time of booking.
• The Studio is an "open concept" studio, meaning that multiple sessions (group class, private or duet lesson) may be occurring during the same hour. We ask that you are mindful to not disturb our other students.

• We ask that you refrain from bringing under age children with you, as there is not a way for them to be adequately supervised while you are exercising or receiving a massage. 

• Pets are not permitted.

• Because some clients may suffer from environmental allergies, we request that you refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, scented hairspray, or other scented toiletries when attending sessions at the Studio.

• Please bring clean feet to all Movement Arts lessons, socks (we have Toe Sox for sale at the Studio), a small towel, as well as a personal water bottle. The other clients will also appreciate your use of deodorant.

• We have plenty of complementary fresh filtered water.

• Wear form fitting, comfortable clothing for all Movement Arts lessons (yoga clothes or exercise clothing), so your instructor can see your alignment and how your body is moving. Please wear bike shorts underneath loose fitting shorts.

Studio Policies

Reservations and Sickness Policy 

• All sessions are by appointment only. To ensure that you obtain the appointments you desire, please make reservations one to two weeks in advance. Payment is required at time of booking to secure your appointment(s). Prices are subject to change without notice. Appointments may be made in person, online, or over the phone.

• We ask that all clients that are "feeling under the weather" refrain from coming into the Studio. Pilates and GYROTONIC® exercise stimulate the body and can actually make you worse. Massage can also make things worse. Take the time for yourself, stay home, and get well.

Checking In & Lateness Policy

• Please arrive a few minutes early for your scheduled appointment. This will allow adequate time to change, to relax and unwind before your appointment. In order for us to be on time, we regret that we cannot give you additional time if you arrive late for your appointment. If for any reason WE are late starting your appointment, you will receive the full scheduled time.

Valuables

• Please leave valuables at home, as we cannot be responsible for their safety.   

Cancellations/Missed Classes/Rescheduling

• Cancellation Policy: Our time together is valuable. In order to honor the commitment that each of us have made to your appointment (private lesson, class, or massage), notice of cancellation or rescheduling of an appointment given less than 24 hours** in advance will result in a full charge for that session. **Monday morning appointments must be canceled or rescheduled prior to noon on Saturday to avoid being charged. (Illness reasons are excluded.) Cancellations are accepted either via our webscheduler system, in person, or by phoning the Studio at 329-3211. Please note: we do not accept cancellations sent via email. These policies apply to Gift Certificate appointments as well.

• If you have a standing appointment: inconsistent attendance or repeated cancellations will result in the loss of that time slot regardless of 24 hour notice.

• Please note that the cancellation policy is in place to minimize disruption to our clients and as a courtesy to our instructors/therapists who are compensated on a per client basis. Keep in mind that if you register for a class or book a session we turn others away and if you don't show up they miss out.  

• Scheduling an appointment is your acceptance of these policies.

Booking, Payment and Fee Structure

• For optimum results and to give you a thorough understanding of our work, we require a minimum of 3 one-on-one privates prior to joining a Pilates group equipment class, and 6 privates prior to joining a GYROTONIC group class. (This does not apply to GYROKINESIS.) Pilates and GYROTONIC exercise can be done daily. In the beginning we recommend two or three times per week for optimal growth and results in the system.
