Membership Term:

Member agrees that he/she will maintain membership and pay the dues specified above for a minimum term of 1 month (together with any extensions or renewals, the “Term”). Member further agrees that he/she will be liable for dues for the entire Term in the amounts as stated herein regardless of usage or any change of circumstance.

After the initial one month term has expired, this Agreement shall automatically continue from month to month at the prevailing membership rate, which is subject to change by TFM.  Once a Member has a month to month term, the Member may cancel this Agreement by providing TFM (30) day notice of cancellation. The cancellation must be completed by: first scheduling a Cancellation Appointment through the link located at the footer of our website: https://www.thefittestme.net; and second, coming in at the appointment time to sign the cancellation in person. Member is responsible for all charges billed or incurred prior to the final day of the payment period after the final payment. 

The Member confirms and agrees that the membership benefits are exclusive to the Member and are in no way transferable to anyone else.  

EFT Authorization: 

If the Member fills in and executes the EFT authorization above, the Member authorizes TFM to transfer electronic funds on a recurring basis from the checking, savings, or credit card account specified above for Member’s membership dues. This authorization is to remain effective until TFM has collected for all charges assessed in connection with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Cancellation:

The Member may cancel this Agreement within three business days, exclusive of holidays and weekends, from the Contract Date below and receive a refund of all payments made to TFM, except that TFM may retain an amount computed by dividing the number of occasions services are to be rendered into the total Contract price and multiplying the result by the number of occasions that services have been rendered. A refund shall be issued within 30 days after receipt of the written notice of cancellation made within the 3 day rescission period.  Other than the “cancellation within three days,” all other cancellations require 30 days written notice and are not accepted by phone. ALL cancellations MUST follow these steps. The cancellation must be completed by: first scheduling a Cancellation Appointment through the link located at the footer of our website: https://www.thefittestme.net; and second, coming in at the appointment time to sign the cancellation in person. The only acceptable alternative is that the Member may cancel by mailing to our business address a Registered and signed letter stating the intent and reason for cancellation. Note that verbal, email, and text message cancellations will absolutely not be accepted. Such a notice of cancellation from the Member shall also terminate automatically the Member’s obligation to any entity to whom TFM has subrogated or assigned the Member’s Agreement as provided below. Once Member’s 30 day written notice has been submitted, Member shall have one monthly payment remaining, depending on the date on which the cancellation notice is given. No prorating of payments will be made, and TFM does not hold or freeze Agreements.

This Agreement may be cancelled if this facility moves more than eight miles from its current location, or goes out of business and fails to provide within 30 days alternate facilities of equal quality within eight miles of the location designated in this Agreement at no additional cost to the Member. The business location of TFM shall not be deemed out of business when temporarily closed for repair and renovation of the premises; upon sale of the business, for not more than 14 consecutive days; or otherwise for not more than seven consecutive days and not more than two periods of seven consecutive days in any calendar year. 

If the Member dies or becomes physically unable to avail themselves of a substantial portion of the services offered, TFM shall refund funds paid or accepted in payment of this Agreement in an amount computed by dividing the Agreement price by the number of weeks in the Term and multiplying the result by the number of weeks remaining in the Term. A physical disability sufficient to warrant cancellation of this Agreement by Member shall be established if Member furnishes to TFM a certification of such disability by a physician licensed under Georgian Statutes to the extent the diagnosis or treatment of the disability is within the physician’s scope of practice.

Any cancellation of a Personal Training or Semi-Private session requires 24 hour notice. If cancellation occurs within 24 hours prior to session, Member will be charged for full price of the session or it will count as a used session. This will be determined by TFM.
