HOUSE RULES

Taking a high intensity Pilates class? Bring your grip socks!

For hygienic reasons, grip socks must be worn during our high intensity pilates xBURN class. If you don't have a snazzy pair of your own, these are available for purchase in studio. You can also purchase a pair online or on the app, and they'll be ready for pick up in the studio.

Cancellations

X˙CORE classes fill up quickly and there are a limited number of spaces available in each class. Clients are responsible for canceling their class at least 12 hours in advance to avoid a late cancellation or no show charge.

Classes cannot be rescheduled for a different class time past the 12 hour window.

**If you cancel less than 12 hours before the start of class: **

  • For unlimited memberships, clients will incur a $15 Late Cancel fee.
  • For limited memberships, the client will lose that session from their package.
  • For class packs, the client will lose that session from their package.

All members agree to the X˙CORE cancellation policy prior to taking class.

Waitlist

We strongly recommend clients waitlist for classes.

If a spot opens 12+ hours before class, you're automatically added to the class and will receive an email. (Ensure you enable these emails in your account setup.)

If it is within the 12 hour window before the start of class, you will not be automatically added to class in case you can no longer make it. Instead you can check the roster by going to My Account. If a spot opened up, you can add yourself into the class.

Once you're off the waitlist, the 12 hour cancellation policy applies.

If you don't make it off the waitlist, your credit will automatically be returned to your account about 2 hours after class ends.

Text notifications
To receive text notifications when you are moved into class from the waitlist, you must have a phone number on file and be opted into SMS. To check your settings, go to Account > Communication Settings > toggle on Text Notifications.

Running Late

If you are new to X˙CORE... For new clients, we cannot allow participation once class starts. This is to ensure your safety and the experience for the rest of the class. New clients who do not arrive early will not be admitted into class. If you showed up and the instructor was not able to let you into class, email us and we'll credit the class back to your account.

If there are people on standby waiting for a machine... Clients who do not arrive by the start of class will forfeit their spot to someone on standby. If you showed up and your spot was given away to someone on standby, email us and we'll credit the class back to your account.

5 minute policy... Clients who arrive 5 minutes after the start of class will not be admitted into class. If you showed up and the instructor was not able to let you into class, email us and we'll credit the class back to your account.

These rules are created for safety reasons and out of respect for the instructor and the rest of the class. We appreciate your understanding.

Do I need to take a Private class first?

xBURN STRENGTH
If you are new to high intensity pilates, this is entirely up to your own comfort level. It is not required to start with a private lesson. Our certified instructors are trained to teach groups of classes where each individual's fitness level varies and they will be able to modify exercises to meet your individual needs.

If you are recovering from an injury, have chronic pain, a severe medical condition, or new to working out, then we recommend taking a private lesson so we can provide a personal assessment and adjust to your fitness level. Please be sure your doctor has given you permission before undertaking any physical activity. Just keep in mind that classes can be intense without periods of rest and recovery. If you do not feel comfortable working out in a group setting, then we recommend starting with a private lesson or a Basics Class. Email info@xcorestudio.com to schedule private classes. 

xCLIMB CARDIO
We do not offer individual xCLIMB classes. The classes are designed for communal training to allow for climbers to feed off the energy of each other. We do offer private group classes of 3 and more. Email info@xcorestudio.com for more information.

Refer to our Private Sessions page for pricing.

How often should I take class?

Our workouts are designed to work your body to muscle fatigue, at which point you need to rest. Depending on your fitness level and the intensity of your workout, you will need more, or less, time to recover. Most clients see transformational results within a month when they attend 3-5 times a week. Just be sure to allow your body to properly recover and repair. Listen to your body, it’s up to you!

What if I'm pregnant?

All X˙CORE classes are known to have beneficial results to aide in pregnancies. However, always consult with your doctor before attending classes. For clients who are pregnant and new to either workout, we do not advise starting classes. Clients who have been regularly attending classes may continue working out with us, as long as they've received approval from their doctor. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Do you have lockers?

We have storage cubbies to hold your personal belongings.

Are minors allowed to attend class?

Safety is our number one priority. All participants under 18 need to attend a private Pilates lesson before attending a group class. This allows us to evaluate their fitness capabilities and ensure they have the ability to safely perform the movements. For both workouts, the parent and guardian must be present.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes we do! You can choose the amount you want to give. Gift cards are available for purchase online or in the studio. Visit the Buy page to purchase fixed amoutn gift cards.
