2. At Pulse Pilates by the Sea the following cancellation policy applies to all clients and memberships: Group classes must be cancelled 12 hours prior to the scheduled class time.  As our class sizes are small, late cancellations or no-shows often cannot be filled, therefore another client may miss out on a class. If you are unable to attend your class, we request you cancel your class as soon as possible via Momence App as there may be others clients that can take your place. Late cancellation will forfeit that session. Not showing to a class will result in loss of class credit. Cancellations via SMS, email or social media will not be accepted. We understand there may be unforeseeable circumstances in which you cannot attend your class. Please email info@pulsepilatesbythesea.com.au if you are unable to attend a class due to an emergency.
