Pilates

Please advise Suzannah King before commencing any session if, for any reason, your health or your ability to exercise changes. 

 

Pilates exercises are very safe but, as with all forms of physical exercise, it is prudent to consult your doctor before starting. These sessions and any advice given is not a substitute for medical counseling or treatment. If you have any doubts about the suitability of the exercises, stretches or any advice given, you should refer back to your doctor or health practitioner.

SK Bodyworks Terms and Conditions

 

Please read the terms and conditions set out by Suzannah King at SK Bodyworks which must be agreed to before completing your consultation form and before attending your first massage or pilates session, as well as before signing into SK Bodyworks online studio.

 

It is always recommended to gain approval from your GP/ Dr or other health professional before participating in any exercise program. You will take full responsibility if you choose to go ahead without gaining approval first. 

 

 

Suzannah King at SK Bodyworks provides a safe, friendly and professional service from her home studio in Waimauku, offering both a high standard in massage therapy and both group and private pilates to local female residents. 

 

Pilates Classes

Private 1:1 classes are bought in class packs of 3 or 6 sessions. Introduction class pack is for a discounted pack for those new to SK Bodyworks and must be taken within 4 weeks of your first class.

Group classes are to be paid up front in blocks of 3,6,9 or 12. Purchasing your block secures your place in your chosen class on a weekly basis. An introduction class pass is given to those new to SK Bodyworks and must be used within 4 weeks of your first class.

 

We use different pieces of equipment in all classes at SK Bodyworks. These are cleaned frequently and you are welcome to bring your own to use in class if you wish. All participants must provide their own mats. You are welcome to wear socks or go barefoot. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring along some water.

 

If you have any changes in health, please inform Suzannah before coming along to class. This allows Suzannah to adapt exercises and provide alternatives. 

 

It is your responsibility to workout at a level that is suited to you and your ability. If you experience any pain during an exercise, you must stop that exercise and please inform Suzannah. An alternative exercise or a modification can be given, or rest. Please listen to your body.

 

Massage and Reflexology

All massage and reflexology sessions are taken at SK Bodyworks home studio. Please arrive promptly for your appointment and give at least 12 hours notice should you need to alter, provide further information, or cancel you appointment. Essential oils are often used, so please note if you have any allergies or intolerances on your health form.

 

Massage Membership

Your monthly massage membership will be started on the day of your first massage by signing up to GoCardless direct debit, who will take payment from your account each month thereafter, after your initial payment. Within your membership, you will receive one massage each month, access to my online pilates studio throughout your membership, plus 10% off any further massages taken.

If you or Suzannah King will be away for any amount of time, you can push your massage session forward or backward by one month only. You may also pause/stop your membership should you be away for longer than a month. 

 

Arriving Late

Please arrive on time to your appointments, otherwise any lateness will eat into your session. Due to being a home studio, there is no waiting room, so please don’t arrive any earlier than 5 minutes.

 

Toilet

We have a bathroom for everyone to use located within the home studio

 

Parking

We have space outside the studio for two cars. Please park carefully and respect the property. Any damage made to the property by yourself (or car) will be paid for by yourself. There is parking on the street, but please avoid parking on any bend in the road and also avoid parking up on the grass verge. Parking on the bends proves challenging to local residents exiting their properties, as well as for those driving by reducing clear vision of the road, so please be respectful of this. There is plenty of parking on the straight area of Pukemarino Rd. 

 

Noise

Please be respectful of our neighbours and leave the home studio quietly.

 

Behaviour

 

Please be respectful of both Suzannah King and her home studio space. Suzannah King is committed to providing everyone with a positive experience through pilates and massage therapy. By coming into the studio, you agree that Suzannah King may, at her sole discretion, terminate your massage, membership or class pass block without refund if you become aggressive, disruptive, threatening or difficult to work with.

Holidays

Suzannah King will inform you a min of 2 weeks before any holidays are booked. During the school holidays, Suzannah King will be running all sessions on a limited basis so she can spend time with her family. Those who are signed up for courses and memberships will have first priority over bookings. Please be aware that your usual session day and time during these periods may change. Please also inform Suzannah King if you have booked time away at least two weeks in advance. This is to allow Suzannah to make room for others in her diary so they can book in in your absence.

 

Cancellation of Pilates and Massage Sessions

Please provide Suzannah King at least 12 hours notice before your session if you need to cancel. This allows others who may have been placed on a wait list or turned down a chance to book themself in instead. If you fail to give at least 12 hours notice, you will either lose your pilates session on your course or you will need to pay a cancellation fee if you cancel your massage session. In case of an illness or covid cancellation, your fee or loss of session will not be enforced if you have contacted Suzannah by 8am on the day of your appointment or class.. 

Suzannah will try and book you in where possible in the same week if you are unable to make your pilates or massage session.
