Frequently Asked Questions
-
For newcomers, we recommend beginning with the ALIGN class, designed to introduce foundational reformer movements with a focus on alignment and posture. It's suitable for gaining confidence before progressing to more challenging classes like DYNAMIC and JUMP.
-
Your introductory offer activates upon booking your first class, granting you 14 days to explore our range of classes. If the system is prompting for payment, it may mean that you’ve booked in your first class and then tried to book another class prior to your activation date.
-
To ensure a seamless booking experience, SALT uses the MINDBODY online booking system. Though you can also use our Salt Pilates Studio App, available free in your app store, for hassle-free class bookings, rescheduling, and managing your account on the go.

For first-timers, we kindly ask you to arrive 10 minutes early to familiarise yourself with our studio and reformer beds. Our instructors will be here to welcome you, give you a tour, and ensure you feel comfortably prepared and ready.

At SALT, we believe in personalised attention, which is why we limit our class sizes to a maximum of 9 clients. This intimate setting ensures our instructors can closely assist each individual, providing a tailored and focused experience that caters to everyone's skill level.
-
Classes at SALT require a minimum of 2 participants to proceed. In the event of a cancellation, which may occur up to 2-3 hours before the class start time, we will notify you via text or email. This policy helps us manage our schedule efficiently while minimising inconvenience to our clients.
-
If you add yourself to a waitlist, the system assumes you’ll attend if a spot opens up. You’ll be automatically added to the class and notified by text and email - there’s no need to confirm.
If you’re added to a class and can’t attend, please remove yourself as soon as possible. Standard cancellation policies apply if you cancel within 5 hours of class or don’t show up.
Tip: Waitlists can move quickly - particularly overnight - so if you know you can’t make it, we recommend removing yourself the night before to avoid any late fees or losing a session.
-
Please cancel your class more than 5 hours in advance to avoid losing your session. This ensures fairness and allows waitlisted clients to fill available spots.
Package Cancellations: Missing the 5-hour cancellation window means you will forfeit the class.
Membership Cancellations: Cancelling after the 5-hour deadline results in forfeiting the class and incurring a $10 late cancellation fee from your account.
Membership No Shows: Not attending your booked class without cancellation leads to forfeiting the class and a $20 no-show fee being deducted from your account.
