Membership Rules, Guidelines, Refund Policy

What’s included In Your Membership:

Section 1. Memberships that contain “Private Training” or “Open Gym” in the membership title are NOT CrossFit memberships and do not include CrossFit services. All unlimited CrossFit memberships include unlimited attendances to standard CrossFit Classes as well as any classes marked “Specialty” such as Olympic Weightlifting, Athletic Conditioning, Open Gym, Mobility and Gymnastics. Extra CrossFit “clinics” or “seminars” or any other services not listed in memberships are not considered part of the included services in an unlimited membership and are NOT included in memberships. All limited CrossFit memberships, such as 20 class punch cards, are only good for the number of sessions purchased. Any missed classes or late cancelled classes are subject to charge for that session.
All cancellations of CrossFit Classes with less than one hours notice are considered no-show and are billed with applicable charges. (See General Terms and Conditions Section 6). CrossFit memberships do NOT include “Open Gym” reservations. All memberships that contain “Lifting” in the membership title entitle the member to the use of the Open Gym (no supervision, CrossFit or Personal Training is included). “Open Gym” Memberships do NOT include any classes of any kind. All memberships that contain “Private Training” in the membership title include only the number of sessions specified in the agreement. Private Training sessions require 24 hours notice of cancellation. Anything less than 24 hours notice is considered a no show and will be billed at the full cost of the session. “Private Training” memberships do NOT include any CrossFit Classes, Specialty Classes or Open Gym.

Consumer Rights:
In compliance with the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, the member has a right to cancel within 10 days of receiving a copy of this Agreement and a right to cancel due to a material change in their circumstances or a material change in the service provided by CrossFit 1855. Examples of such material changes are given in section s 25(3) and 25(4) of the Act and include a member moving residences further than 30 kms from where they resided at time of signing this agreement. If a prepaid member cancels due to a material change in their circumstances, they will be entitled to a refund for the remaining balance of the Agreement less a 30% deduction for CrossFit 1855’s costs.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1-18

1 – Basics
It is required of all members of CrossFit 1855 to either successfully complete basics programming and/or demonstrate the required skills of CrossFit before entering regular classes. CrossFit 1855 reserves the right to determine who is fit to enter classes. Those deemed unfit must complete as many basics and/or private sessions necessary to prepare the member for classes before being permitted to attend regular classes. CrossFit 1855 offer packages that include 4 private sessions (called Onramp) with a structured curriculum that is designed to prepare people to participate in CrossFit in an acceptable standard. The Onramp sessions will be booked at a mutually convenient time between the member and the CrossFit 1855 staff. 24 hours notice is required for cancelling or rescheduling an onramp session. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the missed class will be considered used, and the member will be responsible for purchasing an additional Onramp session at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 1855 website at time of rescheduling. If a member is more than 10 minutes late for their onramp session, they will be considered a no show and will be required to purchase an additional session at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 1855 website. After the 4 Onramp sessions have been completed, it is at the sole discretion of CrossFit 1855 to confirm that the member is ready to join the regular CrossFit classes. Additional Onramp sessions may be required, at the cost of the member, if the member has not demonstrated the minimum skill level required to join regular CrossFit classes. Failing to do so does not relinquish the members responsibility to upholding this binding contract. The additional private training cost will be billed at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 1855 website at that time. If a member already has CrossFit experience they may be asked to attend a free session with a CrossFit 1855 coach to demonstrate a minimum skill set of movements before entering the regular classes. It is at the sole discretion of CrossFit 1855 to decide whether that minimum skill set has been met or if any Personal Training / Basics / Onramp classes are required. If those sessions are required, they will be at the sole cost of the member and will be billed at the rate published on the CrossFit 1855 website at that time.

2 – Private Training Sessions 
All private training sessions booked require 24 hours notice from the member for cancellation to avoid being billed in full for the session. If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice the full amount of that session will be charged to the member.

3 – Pre-Paid Memberships
Under the pre-paid membership the member is allowed to put their account on hold for one month at no cost once per calendar year. All holds will be offered in monthly increments only. Any additional months requested for holds in the calendar year must be approved by the CrossFit 1855 management and are subject to a $15 per month administration fee. Please note that an account hold does not pause the term of the contract, we are simply adding a bonus amount of time to the end of your contract term. Memberships are non-transferrable.

4 – Monthly Memberships
Under the paid-monthly membership, the member is allowed to put their account on hold for one month at no cost once per calendar year. All holds will be offered in monthly increments only. Any additional months requested for holds in the calendar year must be approved by the CrossFit 1855 management and are subject to a $15 per month administration fee. Monthly payments will continue even during the membership hold period, and the approved hold time will be tacked on to the end of the membership period. Should the member wish to no longer train at CrossFit 1855 they are still responsible for the remainder of their term of the Agreement except as provided for under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act as set out above. If the member does not exercise a cancellation right under the Act, then their options are to simply continue to pay the monthly fee until the term of the agreement expires, or to cancel and immediately pay 2 months of the remaining balance of the contract.

5 – Rules on all Memberships
Options: Both the pre-paid and paid monthly memberships entitle the member to have full use of their purchased CrossFit 1855 services as long as their payments are up to date. The current rates are only secured for the duration of the term of their current membership, and CrossFit 1855 reserves the right to increase membership fees at any time, and upon the renewal period of the membership, the new rates would then apply. On memberships longer than one month, 30 days written notice must be given by the member to CrossFit 1855, if the member chooses not to renew their membership. If the member would like to renew their membership, they must notify the staff as to which plan they’d like to subscribe to prior to the time of renewal, otherwise the member will automatically be renewed under the month to month Contract at the posted rate on the website (crossfit1855.com). The members payment method will be charged at the time of renewal date and is subject to all the terms of this agreement. CrossFit 1855 reserves the right to change the class schedule as needed.

6 – No Show Policies
Eventually, CrossFit 1855 will utilize class sign-ups, and this will be enacted with notification to all members. When class sign-ups are active, if you sign up for a class and don’t show up, you are preventing someone else from coming who could have. To keep this from happening, and making all the classes as great as they can be for everyone, we use no-show penalties as a way to regulate this type of behaviour. Every calendar month, the first time a member is a no-show on a preregistered class they will receive a polite but direct email informing them that they have been warned. CrossFit 1855 will charge missed classes on an increasing scale of $5 per missed class.

7 – Exceptions Policy

Exceptions are at the sole discretion of the CrossFit 1855 owners.

8 – Community and Member Rules
We are trying to build and maintain an inclusive, fitness and community oriented gym and atmosphere. CrossFit 1855 reserves the right to terminate any membership, without warning, if the member in questions is behaving counter to the community and member guidelines, including:
Behaviour that is egotistical, belligerent or abusive to members or staff.
Talking when the coaches are trying to teach. People pay good money to get this info, so don’t ruin it for others by being distracting.

9 – Delinquent Accounts (No Pay – No Play)
If a member’s account balance is not paid in full on the due billing date, the member will have 7 days to make their late payment in full. If the member has not paid their dues by the 7th day deadline, the membership will be suspended and the member will be subject to a $100 re-initiation fee if they wish to re-activate their membership. The member will still be responsible for the remainder owed on the membership, even if they do not wish to reinstate their membership. There will be a $25 NSF / Decline charge billed to the member should their payment method not be approved. This charge will be billed each time the payment is attempted. Once an account has been deemed delinquent, the remainder of the membership will be due in full immediately. A 15% interest rate will be applied on the full balance owing until the debt is collected in full. Any service charges or legal fees incurred by CrossFit 1855 as a result of the failure to pay will also be the responsibility of the delinquent member.
