Classes: Advance booking and reservation are required for all classes. All the classes require advance booking and reservation, and you will not be permitted to participate in these classes unless you have properly booked and reserved your spot. You may book one (1) class online per class category. Anka may give away your reserved spot if you are not in the class at class start time. If you book online (including through our mobile app), you may cancel a booked class up to twelve (12) hours before the class starts. If you do not cancel within this allotted time or check in by the start of class, you will be considered as having “missed” your booked class. Please avoid entering a class late or leaving a class early, as this is disruptive to other members’ experience. If you need to cancel or reschedule a class booking, please do so 12 hours or more prior to the class. Failure to cancel will result in the following: Class-credit members will lose a credit; Unlimited members will be charged $20 for a late cancel and no show.
Class Levels: Regardless of previous pilates experience, all members required to start at the “All Levels” class. This ensures you receive the ultimate Anka Pilates experience by covering all the essential foundations before advancing. Moving up to higher levels requires instructor approval, ensuring you are ready to safely conquer new challenges.
Group Classes and Private Sessions Payment: You are required to pay for private sessions and group classes on or before the date of the session. Anka reserves the right to cancel any scheduled session for which no payment has been received by twenty-four (24) hours prior
to the session. If you use a session that was not otherwise paid for, Anka will charge the credit card or other account then on-file with Anka.
Pre-Authorized Payments
All payments are pre-authorized coming out bi-weekly on your personalized billing date. This payment will be charged to the card that you have put on file. If you ever need to update your card on file, you can do so on the Anka`s app or by contacting the studio.
Private Session Cancellation: You may cancel or reschedule your session up to twenty-four
(24) hours before the session is due to start. You will be charged for the full cost of the session if you cancel or reschedule with less than twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice or if you fail to show up to your session. You are not entitled to any refund for or reinstatement of any late- cancelled or missed session. If you do not show up to your session 15-minute prior, your session will be canceled automatically, and you will be charged for the full cost of the session.
