STUDIO TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please read through the Terms and Conditions on our website thoroughly before enrolling for a class. When registering as a client at SISU, you agree to the terms and conditions as laid out on our website, www.sisustudio.co.nz

  • Our studio is an inclusive space. We will not tolerate any kind of discrimination or behaviour that creates a hostile and unpleasant environment for staff or members. 

  • We endeavour to deliver all our classes on time and as advertised, however classes are subject to change or be cancelled without notice. SISU is not liable to refund, transfer or offer compensation of any kind for classes that are late, changed or cancelled for any reason.

  • Out of consideration for the teacher and other clients we ask that you arrive at least 3 minutes before the start time of the class. For security reasons the door to the studio is locked at the beginning of each class. If you are late, you may not be let in so as not to disrupt the class.

  • If a class you would like to attend is fully booked please sign up for the waiting list. Should a place become available then you will be added automatically before the scheduled class.

  • A minimum of two people is required for a class to go ahead. You will be contacted via text or email should a class be cancelled and your session will be credited back to your account.

  • Cancellations/rescheduling classes need to be made more than 12 hours prior when to your class begins. Late cancellations will incur a lost session for all Intro Offers/Class Passes/Private sessions.

  • Sessions are not transferrable to another individual and cannot be used by another person. If someone other than the person booked into the class arrives to use the session, they will be asked to create an account and purchase their own sessions.

  • Bookings are to be made via the SISU website via the PunchPass link or via the PunchPass app. We do not accept bookings or payments over the phone or in studio.

  • SISU has the right to refuse entry at anytime. Our instructors reserve the right to direct clients to a particular class type for safety reasons; instructors also reserve the right to turn clients away for any reason they deem necessary (for example, failing to follow the instructions given).

  • Clients must follow the instructions given around how to use, operate and exercise on the Reformer and/or any other equipment that is used both in (and out if applicable) the studio. Failing to do so may result in you being asked to leave the studio and forfeiting your pass.

  • Classes at SISU may be physically strenuous and you voluntarily participate in them with full knowledge that there is risk of personal injury, property loss or death. You agree to follow all instructions given to you by SISU instructors and you acknowledge that any failure to do so will be at your own risk. SISU is in no way liable for any injury, loss of property or death resulting from attending our studio.

  • Because we rely heavily on social media for advertising, there may be times when the class is filmed or pictures are taken to be put onto social media. If you prefer not to be shown in our videos and pictures on social media, it is your responsibility to tell the instructor at the start of class. We have no control over clients posting content that shows other clients in the studio; we may reshare this content on our social platforms.

  • By booking into and participating in a class* you automatically agree to these terms & conditions.
