Legal
Terms and Conditions
Updated October 2026
These Terms of Use, including any policies, rules and other terms expressly incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the "Terms"), form a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "your") and ONYX Franchising LLC ("ONYX," "we," "us," or "our"), the franchisor of the ONYX Pilates system.
Each ONYX Pilates studio is independently owned and operated, either by us or by a franchisee. "Studio" means the ONYX Pilates studio you book, visit, join or opt in with, together with the company that owns and operates it. Memberships and in-studio services are provided by the Studio under your membership agreement with it, as described in Section 7.
These Terms govern:
- Your access to and use of www.onyxpilates.com (the "Site")
- Any ONYX mobile application (the "App")
- The ONYX Pilates text message program (the "SMS Program")
- Online booking and checkout through the Site or App
Collectively, these are the "Services."
By accessing the Site or App, booking a class or making a purchase online, you agree to these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Services, registering for an account, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be legally bound.
If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Additional agreements, including the Studio Policies, studio waivers and membership agreements, may apply ("Additional Terms"). If there is a conflict, the more specific agreement controls.
2. Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years old, and the age of majority in your state of residence, to create an account or make a purchase on your own. Members aged 16 or 17 may use the Services only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on their behalf. The Services are not available to anyone under 16.
You must be 18 or older to join the SMS Program. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.
3. Modifications
We may modify these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted on the Site. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
4. Privacy
Your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference.
5. Mobile Services
If you access the Services via mobile device, carrier charges may apply. Giving us your phone number does not enroll you in text messages. You receive texts only if you opt in to the SMS Program described in Section 14. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
6. Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms.
7. Memberships and Studio Services
Memberships, passes, packs, single classes, retail products and in-studio classes are sold and provided by the Studio, not by ONYX, unless ONYX owns that Studio.
They are governed by the membership agreement or purchase terms you accept with the Studio, and by the Studio Policies at https://www.onyxpilates.com/policies.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services, including workouts and health-related content, are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice.
Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.
All Services are provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ONYX, its affiliates and the Studios shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the Site, App or SMS Program.
Total liability shall not exceed $100.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify ONYX, its affiliates and the Studios against claims arising from your use of the Services or violation of these Terms.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

You waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in class actions.
Claims must be brought within one (1) year.
13. Miscellaneous
If any provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. These Terms, together with the Additional Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and ONYX regarding the Services.
