Common questions
Entrepreneurs and investors opening a Pilates studio; gyms, hotels, residences and wellness centres adding a Pilates department; businesses that want to grow an existing studio; and Pilates teachers developing their careers.
Because we do real work in the first session: we review your situation and send you a written action plan within 48 hours.
On the booking page, once you have chosen your day and time and entered your details, the exact amount is shown before payment. Payment is processed securely by Stripe.
An in-person meeting requires a one-hour online Strategy Session first. For work that needs a site visit (a new studio, a Pilates department inside a facility), an on-site meeting in Dubai is planned after that session and you receive a personal booking link.
After the Strategy Session and written plan, you receive a scope, timeline and proposal within 2 working days. The work can continue as a project or as a monthly retainer; on-site days are added to the proposal.
Every session is led personally by Barış Özdemir.
You can move an online session to another day free of charge, or cancel it for a full refund, up to 24 hours before. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.
