Thank you for your custom.

As part of the lesson you will be required to do a warm up and cool down, these are vital parts of the session and cannot be skipped so yo must arrive on time. For your own safety, you may be asked to leave the session if the warm up has not been completed. Do not apply moisturiser or fake tan on the day of your class, this will make you slippy and is dangerous! It will also compromise the safety of the equipment for other users. We will never expect you go upside down (invert) in your first sessions. Please seek spotting assistance from your instructor and guidance for anything you are not sure of.

Do not attempt moves that have not been taught by your instructor, this includes moves learnt at other studios or demonstrated by other students. This will invalidate our insurance and is dangerous to yourself and others. We ensure that you are taught safely and within your own ability, we can not accept responsibility for moves that are taught incorrectly or without the correct technique and we are not responsible for any injury caused by attempting these moves.

Under no circumstance will we accept any student under the influence of drink or drugs. You will be asked to leave.

We ask you to remove all jewellery so as to avoid injury to yourself, damage to your jewellery and damage to the equipment. We cannot accept responsibility for any jewellery left onsite or mislaid during sessions. We suggest leaving items of sentiment or value at home or disposing of them carefully in your personal possessions before commencing a class.

Abusive or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave with no option to recoup lost monies. Please treat your instructor and fellow students how you would expect to be treated, following rules at all times.

You are welcome to bring your own mats to stretch and warm up on, we will provide them if needed along with straps and yoga blocks.

You can also use whatever grip assistance you need provided you clean the equipment after use and make it ready for the next student to safely utilise it.

Lastly, enjoy, grow, nurture, excel. We are a proud, caring inclusive community wishing the best for all our fellow pole sisters and brothers. If you need to speak to us in confidence then do it. If you have suggestions, ideas, criticisms let us have them. Our business model is designed to work around you, no obligations, no bulk costs to pay, flexible and accommodating at all times. We promote full transparency in all our dealings and appreciate that people will visit other studios, do other workshops, take other privates, and all we ask is that you invite us!

Much love, peace out ❣

Unfortunately we cannot give refunds. If you cannot attend a booked Private session we will endeavour to fill that session for you if 48 hours notice is given. For studio sessions you can make up that session in one of the other classes we offer, subject to availability. Payment is required to secure any booking, we cannot offer refunds for privates or studio sessions at any time and sessions cannot be carried over.

We do not offer memberships, our private and studio sessions are designed to give you the freedom to book whenever you want and whenever circumstances allow. Regular students are given the option to attend Privates at the home studio for a substantially reduced rate wherever availability allows. Booking is not confirmed until payment in full is received.

You can buy a block booking of private lessons, ask me for discount! There is no expiration date on these, giving you the freedom to schedule around your commitments.

Please find below Samantha Walsh Pole Dance and Fitness’s safety statement with regards to Covid-19. Please sign to say that each time you attend the studio, you agree to the following.

To the best of my knowledge, I:

STAGE 1 – NOTIFICATION

If you develop symptoms within a two-week period of being at the studio, or if you learn that you have been in direct contact with somebody who has later tested positive, we would ask you to contact Samantha Walsh of Samantha Walsh Pole Dance and Fitness on 07958 649046 or sam@geek-it.co.uk as soon as possible. Your name and personal details will be kept confidential at all times, as per our data protection policy.

STAGE 2 – TRACK AND TRACE

If somebody within your class has developed symptoms (or been in direct contact with somebody who has tested positive) and notified the studio, you will be advised as soon as possible to isolate for 14 days. We will be using the contact details on your Covid Informed Consent to contact you so please ensure they are up to date.

STAGE 3 – CLEANING AND CLOSING

If we believe there have been cases of Covid-19 at the studio, then the studio will close for a period of 14 days to allow our team to conduct a rigorous deep clean of the premises. All students will be notified of a closure as soon as possible using the contact details stated on your Covid Informed Consent. Any classes cancelled due to a studio closure will be carried over to the next available session that we can offer.  

STAGE 4 – RECORDING

Any outbreaks will be recorded in full in the studio’s incident report book.

STAGE 5 – REOPENING

Once Stage 3 has been completed in full, the studio will reopen. All students will be notified by email confirming the reopening date and an up to date timetable.

At Samantha Walsh Pole Dance and Fitness we have implemented the below social distancing policy to stop the spread of Covid-19. We require all students, instructors and other visitors to the studio to abide by the below guidance at all times. Failure to do so may result in removal from the studio with any future attendance suspended without a refund.

• Before your first class please familiarise yourself with the new studio rules below for social distancing conduct. We will operate an ‘outer circle’ ideology to keep students spaced apart during lessons and a ‘keep to the left’ rule for students sharing equipment and also for entering and exiting the building. The instructor will also go through this with you in class to ensure understanding.
• Please remain in your vehicle until your instructor calls you into class – this will allow the previous class time to exit, and time for our team to clean the studio ready for you.
• Any attendees to the studio are required to adhere to a minimum of 2 metres social distancing from anybody that they do not live with.
• As you enter the studio, please make your way to a free piece of equipment and stand next to it.
• Looking inward, you are required to stand back from the ‘inner circle’. This will ensure that in both large studios of 6 poles that there is a circle of students as far apart as possible. Both studios are large enough to accommodate this effectively so please stay within those boundaries.
• If sharing a pole, after cleaning it for the next user, please traverse in a linear fashion toward them bearing to the left. Do not cross into their area whilst in use or into another student’s equipment areas at any point during your class.
• When you are not on your equipment try to ensure you are 2 metres away from the person next to you (mouth to mouth).
• Please only leave your equipment area to wash your hands, use the bin, go to the bathroom or if you need medical attention.
• Please move around the studio following the one-way system and any signage to this effect.
• There is no storage area available to you at this time – please only bring into the studio with you what you will need for class and nothing more.
• Please ensure you have water with you as our communal water facilities will not be available at this time.
• Please ensure you bring your own grip with you as grip will no longer be available at the studio and we will not be allowing students to share grip between them.
• Wear a face covering when suitable in the studio (not during exercise classes).
