COVID-19 Update
Updated on: 11th July 2020
When are classes likely to resume?
We are working towards a reopening date of 31st August for our classes at Chilli Pilates. This date has been guided both by the Government reopening guidelines (which allow us to reopen on or after 25th July) and the results of our Member survey which indicated that the majority of Members would return to class from September onwards. Our first priority is the safety of the Chilli Team and of our Members, and in the careful planning for our reopening we will not compromise on keeping everyone safe.
What is happening with Membership fees and prepaid classes?
We have temporarily paused all membership payments and all accumulated class credits will remain on your account, ready to be used when classes resume.
What’s happening to all the Chilli Pilates staff?
Thanks to the Government’s job retention scheme we have been able to retain all of our staff, and that is something we are extremely grateful for. We have also been able to unfurlough different members of the team intermittently so that they can work on improving our ‘at Home’ platform and continue to help you stay active and healthy while you are at home and unable to attend classes.
Since the closure of our studios we have been working hard behind the scenes to develop our ‘at Home’ platform.
This platform is designed to give subscribers access to a full range of online resources and information about how to improve, maintain and optimise your health and well-being while at home, including an online library of ‘at Home’ Pilates workouts.
We are extremely excited to announce that our LIVE online Pilates classes are now available to book, so you can join some of your favourite instructors for a 55 minute LIVE online Pilates class.
