The details
Questions, answered
How many Founding Memberships are available?
Only 30. Once all 30 have been secured, this membership will close permanently.
What is included each month?
You will receive eight Reformer Pilates classes and two complimentary guest passes each month, alongside your exclusive Founding Member benefits.
When will my membership start?
Your monthly class allocation begins when Core Manchester opens. You will receive confirmation and priority booking information before the first public schedule is released.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Core rolling memberships have a minimum initial term of three months. The complete billing and membership terms will be shown before you confirm your purchase through Momence.
How long will I keep the £136 rate?
Your rate remains locked at £136 per month for as long as the Founding Membership stays active. If you cancel, it cannot be reinstated and any future membership will be at the standard rate available at that time.
Do unused classes roll over?
Monthly membership classes must be used within the applicable membership month and do not roll over. The class must take place before the monthly allocation expires.
How do the guest passes work?
You will receive two complimentary guest passes each month to share with friends or family. Guest passes have no cash value and are subject to availability and the relevant booking conditions.
Can I pause or cancel the membership?
Cancellation and any permitted pause arrangements are governed by the Founding Membership terms presented during purchase. Once cancelled, the Founding rate and benefits cannot be reinstated.
What happens if the studio opening date changes?
Founding Members will receive construction and opening updates directly. Your monthly class allocation will begin in line with the confirmed studio opening and first class schedule.
When does Core Manchester open?
We are preparing to open in the second week of September 2026. Founding Members will be kept updated as the studio approaches opening.
What is the class cancellation policy?
Group classes can be cancelled without charge up to 12 hours before the scheduled start. Cancellations within 12 hours incur a £15 late-cancellation fee, while the class credit is retained and remains available to rebook. A no-show results in the loss of the class credit.
What are the Golden Tickets?
Five surprise Golden Tickets will be included among the first 30 memberships, with rewards such as a complimentary month, a private training session, merchandise or workshop priority.
