FAQ

General

Who can do Pilab?

Our classes are designed to support all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned movers. Every session includes modifications and progressions, allowing you to grow confidently in your practice. With intentionally small class sizes, our certified instructors offer personalized guidance, ensuring your movement is both safe and effective.

If you experience chronic back pain, joint discomfort, or a complex medical condition, we recommend starting with a private session to assess your needs and tailor the experience to your body.

Do I need to pre-book any class?

Yes pre-registration is required for all classes due to our intentionally small group sizes. For a better experience, we recommend downloading the Pilab app to easily manage your schedule on the go.

How to sign up?

Classes can be reserved online via Mindbody or through the Pilab app. Booking opens 7 days in advance, giving you time to plan your visits. Booking for members open 8 days in advance.

Age Requirements?

Participants must be 16 years or older to join group classes. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian’s signed consent is required before your first session.

Do you have a shower and lockers?

Yes, we offer two private showers for your convenience: a women-only shower and a unisex shower, both individually locked for privacy. Our studio also includes two locker rooms, one for women and one for men, equipped with essentials to refresh post-class.

Is there a parking for clients?

There is plenty of parking around Pilab. You’ll find several spaces right on the street directly in front of the studio. Also, just across the street, diagonally, there is the free public parking lot at Saint-Sauveur’s City.

Class Policies

Can I arrive late?

To maintain a focused and uninterrupted experience, late arrivals will not be permitted. Doors are locked at the start of class. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to settle in. Doors open 10 minutes before class begins.

What’s your cancellation policy?

We follow an 8-hour cancellation policy. You can cancel any class at least 8 hours in advance with no penalty by logging into your account online. If you cancel within 8 hours of the class or miss your session without notice, the class credit will be deducted from your account.

Can I use my phone during class?

Phones are allowed in the studio, but please keep them on silent and use them discreetly. Avoid any use that might disturb others or compromise their privacy. Help us maintain a calm, respectful space for all.

What happens if the class is full? What is the waitlist policy?

We highly recommend joining the waitlist if your class is full. Spots often open up!

Waitlisted bookings are treated just like regular reservations. If you're on the waitlist, we assume you're available to attend. You can remove yourself from the waitlist at any time without penalty if your availability changes.

You may be added to class up to 2 hours before the start time. If a spot opens:

- More than 8 hours in advance: You'll be automatically added to the class and notified by text or email. If you're no longer able to attend, you can cancel without penalty as long as it's still outside the 8-hour window.


- Less than 8 hours before class: You’ll also be automatically added and notified. However, at this point, our late cancellation policy applies, and you will not be able to cancel without forfeiting your class credit.

In some cases, payment may be required to hold your waitlist spot. If you’re not added to the class, your credit will stay on your account for future use.
