MEMBERSHIP/PACKAGE FAQs

Before I commit - is this traditional Reformer Pilates?

Great question! This is not Pilates on a reformer. We teach The Lagree Fitness Method which is low-impact strength training on a Megaformer. Our studios have darker rooms with louder music and Coaches who offer high-energy classes.

I need assistance - what’s the best way to get in contact with someone?

Email is the best way! We don’t have phones in our studios due to classes.

Should I opt in for text and email alerts?

Yes - we will only send you the important stuff. We never send spam emails! Only texts/emails confirming your bookings, last minute schedule changes and special promotions we offer throughout the year.

How do I update my main billing/CC information?

While our app stores multiple CC’s for you to use for purchases, your main CC on file must be updated all times and can be switched out by logging in to your existing account directly through our website (not the app). Click save and you’re good to go!

Will my package automatically renew?

Unless you are on “I AM DETERMINED” 6 month contract, all other packages will not auto-renew and require you to re-purchase each month to continue.

How does the “I AM DETERMINED” Autopay Contract work?

Your Autopay Contract begins on the date of purchase unless you enter a different start date. Autopays are 6 month in length and will auto-renew each month on the same date. Please note you won’t be able to book past your current month until your next month’s payment has been processed. For example, If your contract start date is 10/9, you’ll be able to book 10/9-11/9. On 11/9 you’ll be able to book for that next month.

How do I cancel my contract?

Contract cancellations can only be granted after the 3 month minimum has been completed. After this, 30 days cancellation notice prior to your next billing date is required to successfully cancel with no penalty.

I’m on the 8 class month or 5/10/20 pack - can I use a credit to bring a friend?

Yes. To bring a friend, you must have either the 8 class 30 day package or the 5/10/20 pack to gift a credit to a friend. This can only be redeemed in our PPLA app once you’ve booked your class.

How does the waitlist work?

The waitlist closes 18 hours before the scheduled class. If a client drops out and a spot becomes available, you will be added to the class automatically and be required to cancel this reservation on your end if you no longer can attend. The last time to be added to the class is the 18 hour window.  The waitlist is applicable to our listed 12hr cancellation policy so all changes/cancellations to your reservation must be made before the 12hr window.  Check your emails/text for alerts so you don’t miss the waitlist notifications! You are responsible for attending or cancelling - any missed visits will be charged the automatic $25 fee and/or loss of credit by the system.

If you don’t receive a notification that you’ve been added and it’s within 18hrs of the class start time you will then need to monitor the schedule in our app to see if a spot opens up so you can manually add yourself to class.

What is the cancellation policy?

12hrs prior to your booked visit. Cancellations/No-shows made within 12hrs are subject to the PPLA Cancellation policy. Cancelling a class to swap times within 12hrs is considered a late cancel. We don’t offer refunds and applicable charges are automatically processed by the system. Please see the Cancellation Policy page for more details.

Can I book multiple classes a day?

Our “I AM DETERMINED” package allows 1x booking per day. This counts whether or not the visit was missed or attended. The 8 Class 30 daysly + 5/10/20 class packs allow for multiple bookings per day but additional class credits from your package will be used.

I accidentally booked the wrong location/time/date - what do I do?

We get it, mistakes happen! This is why an email and text reminder are sent immediately after booking and also 24 hours before your scheduled class so you can make sure all the details are correct! Please note that any misbookings will be considered a late-cancel/no show if missed or unattended. We don’t offer refunds and encourage you to keep your text alerts enabled and read your emails. You can easily manage your booking in the PPLA app!

I’m having trouble booking - what does this mean?

Oh no! This could mean a few things:

  • The Class is full and no spots are available
  • Your package start date was set for a later class. Example: If you book your first class on a Wednesday and then try to book a class before then, the system won’t allow you to use the same package since you set the start date for the Wednesday date. To reset, remove all bookings to reset the start date of your package.
  • Your main CC on file is invalid/expired. If the system cannot process applicable fees, the system will automatically suspend your account until a new payment method is in place.
How do I know if a class has any machines left to book?

The PPLA app will show you when a class is down to 1-2 spots left so you know when to act fast!

Can I switch my class?

Yes! You can make schedule changes as long as it’s 12hr prior to your booking! Any changes made within 12hrs of your scheduled class are considered a late cancel and will receive the $25 penalty and use your 1x booking for the day. 5/10/20 packs + The 8 Class 30 days will require you to use an additional class credit to attend again that same day.

How do I book a private session?

Email our team at woodlandhills@pilatesplusla.co to speak with a team member about pricing and availability.

Can I share a package?

We don’t offer shared packages and each client must have their own account and spot reserved in class.

Can I place a package on hold?

Yes! You may place an active package on hold for the $25 fee. This fee can be waived if a Dr’s note is submitted during the time frame of the active package dates. Packages can be placed on hold for as long as you need.

Can I extend my package?
