Membership agreement
Weekly Payment Agreement – 2X Reformer & Unlimited Hot Mat (12 Weeks) Membership Term & Fee: I agree to join Sweat Equity Pilates for a minimum initial commitment of 12 weeks and 12 successful weekly payments of AUD $49, including the first payment. The minimum fee for this commitment is AUD $588. Weekly Instalments & Automatic Payment: I will pay AUD $49 per week. I authorise Sweat Equity Pilates to automatically charge my nominated payment method AUD $49 each week. After the initial 12-week commitment is complete and all 12 weekly payments have been successfully paid, my membership continues automatically on a weekly basis at the same weekly rate until I cancel. It does not end automatically after 12 payments and does not start another fixed 12-week commitment. Failed Payments / Defaults: If a weekly payment fails (e.g. insufficient funds or declined card), I remain responsible for that instalment. The Studio may suspend my membership access until all due payments are made. If payments remain overdue beyond a reasonable time (for example, 14 days), the Studio may seek recovery, and I may be liable for reasonable bank or recovery costs. Non-Refundable Instalments: Instalments already paid are generally non-refundable, unless required by law (for example under consumer guarantees). Unused classes or missed sessions do not automatically entitle me to refund or credit, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Early Termination / Cancellation: I cannot cancel before completing the initial 12-week commitment and making all 12 successful weekly payments. In exceptional circumstances (such as long-term illness or relocation), I may apply in writing to cancel. If approved, I may still need to pay outstanding instalments or a cancellation charge, depending on the Studio’s discretion (which must be reasonable). Change of Payment Method: I must notify the Studio before any instalment is due if my payment method (card, account) changes (e.g. expiry). Failure to do so does not excuse my obligation to pay. No Offsetting / Set-Off: I cannot withhold or reduce any instalment because I believe the Studio has failed to deliver a service, unless the Studio agrees in writing. Binding Agreement: This instalment arrangement is part of the membership agreement and remains binding even if the Studio’s pricing or service policies change
First payment and fixed activation date: No membership payment is charged when you save your payment method. Your first booked or waitlisted class fixes your activation and first payment date at that class's scheduled start. Cancelling the reservation or remaining on the waitlist does not change that date. Payments then continue every seven days. The minimum commitment is 12 weeks from that fixed date and 12 successful weekly payments, including the first; billing continues weekly afterward until cancelled. Saving a payment method or making a reservation does not itself grant paid class attendance. Paid access is confirmed after the first payment succeeds. A later reservation cannot move the original activation date.
Pause allowance: You may pause this membership for up to three weeks (21 days) in any rolling six-month period. A single pause may be no longer than three weeks. Contact the studio to arrange a pause.
Class allowances: Your two weekly Reformer uses include In Motion, Powerhouse, Reformer Jump and MUMS + BUBS. Reformer Jump counts towards this two-class allowance. Included Hot Mat and Yoga classes are unlimited. The allowance resets each Monday in the studio's local time. Booked and waitlisted places reserve an allowance; cancelling releases it.
