MONTHLY CLASS MEMBERSHIPS:

Tabula Rasa Pilates offers membership options for those who want to make a regular, consistent commitment to their pilates practice, but don’t want to have to remember to purchase additional classes or sessions when they’re running out. Memberships are designed to debit a set, agreed upon amount each month from your credit card or bank account. Membership agreements are set up for individual accounts and do not allow for sub-profiles to sign up for classes. If you desire to book for multiple sub profiles, (i.e. friends and family to use your classes,) a better option is to purchase a Class Package, which allows for sub-profiles.

There is no initial sign-up fee to enter into a membership contract with us. There is no cancellation fee as long as written notice of the desired cancellation is provided a minimum two weeks in advance. If written notice is not provided at minimum two weeks in advance, the credit card may be charged for the following month. If this were to occur, you would have access to your membership sessions/classes for that following month.

Memberships are charged monthly. Your first month begins the day you sign up. You will first need to decide how many classes a month will fulfill your pilates goal. Class Memberships are offered in increments of 5 classes/month, 8 classes/month, 12 classes/month, or unlimited classes per month. Unlimited monthly classes are limited to one class per day. Please check out the current Class Schedule on the GymCatch scheduling app. Instructors and class offerings (including substitutes and accounting for instructors’ planned vacation times, are listed through December 2024.) The Spring 2025 schedule will be posted by Thanksgiving 2024.

If you are unsure whether you want to commit to a membership, we suggest starting out by purchasing a class package (1, 3, 5, 10, or 25 classes that can be used “a la carte”). Classes may be redeemed up to an entire year after initial purchase. 

If you have signed up for a membership and experience an urgent, unexpected situation, where you need to leave the area for an extended period of time, please work with Vanessa to discontinue your membership and explore refund options. In most cases, the membership you are in will continue during the month you give your notice, and charges will be discontinued beginning on your sign-up day the following month. Again, if you have concerns, please work with Vanessa, the owner of Tabula Rasa Pilates directly.

If you are someone who travels or leaves the area frequently, a membership might not be the best fit for you. You might want to consider purchasing a package of private sessions, semi-private sessions, or classes. 

If you decide to cancel your membership, please provide us at least two (2) weeks' notice before the end of your monthly contract, and there will be no additional monthly charge at the beginning of the next monthly cycle.

NEW CLIENTS: I am new to Pilates…Where do I begin?

For those with no underlying conditions or concerns, the Intro to Pilates/Fundamentals Reformer class is designed for a first timer. The instructor will introduce you to the anatomy of the Reformer, and takes a slower pace (more repetitions) to thoroughly explain each exercise and ensure correct form and posture. This class tends to integrate mostly Classical Pilates exercises on the Reformer. Students who have done Pilates for years will often return to the Fundamentals class as it provides safe, core conditioning, stretching, a focus on breathing and total body workout.

If the Fundamentals class times do not fit your schedule, the Fundamental/Intermediate Reformer class is a good alternative option. Be sure to arrive 10 minutes early to talk with the instructor about any questions or concerns you may have.

Many prefer to work with a trainer individually before delving into classes. Single or multiple private or semi-private sessions can be scheduled by contacting Vanessa at TabulaRasaPilates@gmail.com or texting (805) 748-4425.

For all new students, we are happy to meet you first and show you the studio! Please do not hesitate to reach out to schedule a time to stop by.
