Hello Everyone
Great news – as well as Sellindge, we now have 4 more group classes starting next week! As we resume classes, start dates, venues and spaces available will be kept fully up-to-date on our Class Availably page, so please keep a regular eye on this here: https://www.janem.co.uk/availability/
Thursday Hythe Cricket Club Classes Resuming
Our three classes at Hythe Cricket Club on a Thursday at 9.30, 10.45 and 6.00, will be starting from 30th July. Class sizes will be strictly limited to 12 people, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.**
Tuesday Three Hills Classes Resuming
Our Tuesday 5.30 class at the Three Hills Folkestone will be starting from 28th July. Class sizes will be strictly limited to 12 people, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.**
**For all of these classes, advance booking will be more or less essential to ensure your places, so please can you make payment as soon as possible after I have confirmed space with you. To be fair to everyone, places will be allocated in the order I receive payment. In the case of multiple requests coming in together or for waiting lists, priority will be given to 24/7 members. Please see Pricing and Payment Options below.
Class Layouts and Social Distancing
Maximum class sizes have been worked out to permit a minimum of 2 meters social distancing between you and the people beside, in front and behind you. To ensure everyone is evenly spaced, we will initially use maker cones on the floor. For an example diagram, and to learn more about how we will be making social distancing during class easy for you, please see here: https://www.janem.co.uk/2020/07/group-pilates-classes-moving-forward#class-layout .
Outdoor Classes
Our first outdoor class will be held at the usual location on the Leas on Saturday 25th July at 8.30 am, and the weather is currently looking good! If the weather turn out to be poor, we may change this to Sunday 26th. There are only three places left on this now, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to attend. Please see Pricing and Payment Options below. We plan to organise more outdoor classes very soon. You can keep track of our planned outdoor classes and venue information here: https://www.janem.co.uk/pilates/outdoor-pilates-classes-in-folkestone/
Group Pilates Class Prices
These prices apply to all group classes from now on. We have a record of everyone with credit remaining from pre-lockdown, which may be used against the cost of classes. Please also note that we are currently not selling blocks of more than 4 classes per person, in order to reduce the amount of credit we hold (in case of future class suspensions).
- Single class – £8
- Block of 4 – £30
- 24/7 members, single class – £6
- 24/7 members, block of 4 – £22
Please note: our new discounted class rates are for people who are 24/7 members at the time they pay for their classes AND at the time they come to take them. If your 24/7 membership expires before you take your classes, you just pay the additional £2 per class for any prepaid classes taken after your 24/7 membership expires.
Payment Options
- Please pay for your classes in advance by bank transfer (details on request).
- If you are unable to pay by bank transfer, you may alternatively drop a cheque in to us, or visit us to pay by contactless card payment (address on request). (We currently do not accept remote card payments).
- Once classes have resumed, you may also pay before class at least 1 week in advance by contactless card payment, Google or Apple Pay.
- We strongly recommend you do not ‘pay on the day’ as spaces are strictly limited, and your place is only booked once payment is received.
- Cash payments are no longer accepted.
