Covid Policy
Bea Alexander Pilates is a Covid vaccine-supporting organisation and we request that you are vaccinated at least twice against Covid and have had or are planning to have the boosters to protect other people as well as yourself against spreading Covid as easily as the unvaccinated.
If you come in to the studio, please agree to follow the Covid protocols as set out in the documents for the venues available to read on the Covid Safety Page. This includes wearing a face covering around the venues, although you are permitted to not wear it once exercising.
If Edinburgh, Scotland or the UK government bring in a lockdown which prevents the continuation of group classes in-person for some time, that the in-person classes will automatically go online. In-person only classes go online too and are non-refunded. Refunds will be given if we cancel a class.
Studio 1-to-1 and 1-to-2 Private Equipment and Mat Appointment Cancellation Policy
Equipment
Due to Covid-19 we now ask people coming to mat classes in the studio to bring their own exercise equipment with them. You will need an exercise mat, a resistive exercise band (medium strength), a small squashy Pilates ‘ova’ ball and if you have tight hamstrings, you will need an exercise block or two to prop yourself up in sitting.

Lost Property
We make all our venues as safe as we can, but your belongings are left in the studios at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for anything lost or stolen.
If you think you have left something in any of the studios, do let us know and we will endeavor to find it for you. Please note that we own the Grange Studio and Central Studio but not all of us teachers are in the studios every day. One of us will check for your property as soon as we are able, and let you know if we find it. Hopefully we can arrange for you to pick it up when one of us is teaching there. If you and we cannot coincide in time, you may have to wait until your class the next week to receive your property back. We do not own Gathering Essence or the Eric Liddell Centre and we only have access to these studios when we are teaching class. It is possible you will have to wait until the next week for us to even check for you. You can contact these venues directly to ask them if they have seen your property.
