terms & Conditions

The “Company” is Key Kultivation Limited trading as Origin Pilates “the Studio”.

Terms and Conditions

You agree to use the Studio facilities in accordance with the company’s Terms and Conditions as displayed on the website or premises and in accordance with your contract confirmation email. 

Should you be participating in one of our programmes, additional Terms & Conditions may be sent to you in a separate email and should be read in conjunction with these Terms & Conditions. Where these differ, the programme terms take precedent.

Membership Fees / Recurring Monthly Class Passes (“Contract”)

Your contract starts on the day that you sign up for the membership (recurring monthly class pass), unless an alternative date is expressly agreed with Studio. Payments are taken on the same date each month which will correspond to the same date as your first payment of the contract. The first monthly payment is taken on the first day of your contract and is payable in advance. 

Please note that your contract is a two month minimum term and thereafter is a monthly rolling contract. 

For the Ultimate All Class Access you can book a maximum of one class per day. If you late cancel a class (i.e. within 12 hours if the class start time) that still counts as one class and you will not be able to book another class on the same day.

The day the payment is taken also corresponds to the day your class credits reset. You cannot roll-forward credits to the next month if unused and they cannot be transferred or substituted.

From time to time, we may need to increase the price of the contracts. We will give you at least one full month’s notice of any price increase and when it will take effect. During this period, you will have your usual right to terminate your contract in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. 

If you have an Early Access Contract, then the contract price will remain the same and is guaranteed for the first 12 months providing the contract is started in June 2025. Any Early Access Contracts entered into after June 2025, will have the price guaranteed up to the end of June 2026.

Contract Cancellation

To cancel, one-month clear written notice is required before the final payment date. Written notice should be sent to info@theoriginpilates.com. If notice is not provided, then your contract will roll-forward automatically for a further month (after the initial two month term) and will continue on this basis.

Paused Contracts

In exceptional circumstances, a contract can be paused (for example serious injury or illness). In such circumstances, a written doctors note will need to be provided for proof of injury or illness. A paused Contract cannot take place in the first two months and a fixed one month period applies which will need to correspond to the payment date. 

Changes to Contracts

You can upgrade your Contract at any time. Changes will take effect from your next payment date unless agreed otherwise.

Downgrades of Contracts can only take place at the end of the initial two month term and one-month clear written notice is required before the final payment, as if it were a termination of your Contract.

Any changes to Contracts must be requested in writing to info@theoriginpilates.com.
