The first step is to create a Universal Practice account through our booking system Mind Body Online, either on your smart phone or via the Mind Body or Universal Practice website. If you have any queries or require assistance please call 9417 0869 or email info@universalpractice.com.au and one of our Administrative Support Team or Physiotherapists will be able to assist you.

Yes.  However if your are unsure how to manage your injury yourself, we recommend  you book a 30 minute consult with one of our physiotherapists for safe and specific injury management throughout our classes.

We require socks in all our Pilates Classes for hygiene reasons. If you forget your socks, we have them available for purchase for $8.

All Pilates, Yoga and Meditation equipment is supplied including mats. Please bring a water bottle if you wish to hydrate through the class.

We recommend loose fitting clothing for Physiotherapy Appointments, however if you are coming from work we have spare shorts for you to wear if your appointment requires.

We recommend coming to yoga early so that you can settle into and enjoy the ambience of the room.

We ask that anyone entering the yoga room before class starts, does so in silence – to respect those that are healing and taking time for themselves.

We recommend coming to Pilates early – so that you can stretch, use the foam rollers and spikey balls to prepare your body for class.

We ask that you do not start using the equipment until you Physiotherapist directs you.

Absolutely. Many of Universal Practice clients are above the age of 40, with our most elderly clients being in their 80’s.

We recommend these clients booking an Initial Pilates Assessment with one of our Physiotherapists so that the Physiotherapist can guide them toward the style of Pilates that is right for their body.

We are always looking for team members that are intelligent, passionate, creative and aspire to be at the forefront of medicine.

Please drop into the studio and attend a class before submitting your resume. This way you will be able to experience what we do, and you will know whether or not we are the right fit for you.

Then if you are interested, please send your resume to andrew@universalpractice.com.au

Yes, we have numerous partnerships with like-minded organisations.

Some classes book out so we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

Waitlists

We have live waitlists available to all our clients to improve the availability of our classes. If you are on the waitlist and no-longer able to attend please remove yourself from the waitlist. This is because you are potentially preventing others from attending. We have many clients that live close by and are able to attend classes with short notice.

You will receive an automatic notification via text or email (depending on your alert configuration in Mindbody and on your App) if you are moved from the waitlist to the class. If you are unsure of if you have this set up on your mobile device or through your Mindbody Account, then please ask for assistance from our Studio Coordinators.

The cancelation policy may still be enforced for clients that are moved from the waitlist into the class that late-cancel or fail to attend a class.

Membership Suspension:

You must provide Universal Practice with at least 2 weeks written notice of desire to suspend your membership. This ensures that the correct measures are put in place to cease credit card or direct debit payments planned for the period you are away.

Suspension is granted for no less than 1 week at a time and for a maximum of four weeks per calendar year. Please email requests to info@universalpractice.com.au

Our policy is that we do not allow for Membership Suspensions within the minimum 3 month lock-in period. However, if you do require a Membership Suspension during this time, and a request is made prior to commencing your membership, approval may be granted. In this case any suspended timeframe does not count towards the minimum lock in period of 3 months

Membership Termination:

After the minimum 3 month lock-in period, you must provide Universal Practice with at least 2 weeks written notice to terminate your membership. Weekly payments due to be debited within those two weeks will be processed. Please email request to info@universalpractice.com.au

Universal Practice may terminate your membership without notice for inappropriate, offensive or illegal behaviour, as determined by us, which occurs on our premises or is directed at our staff or other members.

Additionally, you may terminate your membership if you become affected by a long term or permanent injury or illness that will prevent you from using our services.

Termination will take effect from the date we receive written confirmation from a medical doctor that your injury or illness will exceed a period of 4 weeks.

A Universal Practice Physiotherapist may also allow you to terminate or suspend your membership due to injury after a Physiotherapy Consult.

Termination of contracts before their completion must be paid in full.

Courses, events and workshops must be cancelled with 24 hours notice. Any cancellations outside this window will not be refunded.
