Contractual Terms:

We are committed to helping you achieve your personal wellness goals, and will provide you with high quality personal training services. Our mission is to make strength beautiful, make fitness pain free, and make healthy weight management simple and sustainable for busy adults.
One-on-one programs will be customized to your unique individual needs, goals and abilities, while group programs will take into consideration the current level and general fitness profiles of registered participants.
Communication is important to us, so we will do our best to clearly communicate with you about any preparation instructions, follow-up information or scheduling details related to your services.
What We Expect of You:
Just as you are investing in us, we are also investing time and energy in you.
For you to gain the most from the Services, here is what we expect of you:
Time Integrity. Let’s honor our time. Please arrive on time, honor the length of the Services and the cancellation policy detailed in the section below.
Ownership. You are responsible for your own physical, mental and emotional well-being and actions during the course of the Services.
Commitment. We expect you to be committed to the Services and your practice and that you will do things to help you improve your own body.
Communication. We expect you to be upfront and honest about how your body works, what pains you have and your medical history. We can’t help if we don’t know what you are experiencing.
Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement will begin on the date of execution by both parties and will continue for the duration of the Services as agreed upon between you and Bent On Better (the “Term”).
The Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. You may terminate this agreement by providing at least 28-days advance written notice by completing the ADULT MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION REQUEST FORM at https://www.bentonbetter.com/membership-cancel/ .
For assistance, you may write an email to [email protected]. However, early termination requires a cancellation fee equal to 4-weeks of service as written in the Schedule “A” Services listed below, emphasizing our investment in preparing your program. This fee will be kept on file for up to one year from the cancellation date as a future credit if you choose to return to Bent On Better.
Bent On Better reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately if you violate any of the expectations outlined in the section above and you will not be entitled to any refunds or any continued working relationship with Bent On Better.
Payment. Payment details and cost for the Services are outlined in Schedule “A” Services.
By signing this Agreement and providing a credit card or other account for payment, you agree to be billed automatically for our Services when payment is due. All auto-payment memberships require a valid credit card or bank account to be stored on a protected computer server. You are responsible for providing Bent On Better any credit card information that changes. All memberships are auto-renewing unless you opt out. If you opt out, you will pay the current membership rate at the time you return. You can increase your commitment length at any time to guarantee pricing. You understand that Bent On Better may change the billing cycle or modify prices in the future. We will notify you at least 28 days prior to any price or billing cycle change.
Billing Structure: Four (4) Weeks (auto-renewing) (*weekly installments available upon request)
Annual Increase Clause. At the end of your current agreement, you will have the option to renew with your original rate plus a possible small increase of up to 6%, or you may go month-to-month at prevailing rates.
Free Trial. If you sign up for a free trial, upon completion, it will auto-convert into a paid membership with no further action by you, and will result in automatic billing for the agreed-upon membership. You are required to opt out if you do not wish to continue being auto-billed for the services.
Membership Session Packages: If the maximum number of training sessions is not met, the remaining sessions for that billing period do not roll over into the following billing period. At each membership level, you purchase a maximum number of small group personal training sessions to be used during each month, four (4) week period, or week. If you do not use the maximum number of sessions allowed per the membership level and payment commitment, you forfeit any remaining sessions for the previous billing period, starting a new period and a new number of sessions. (i.e. if one selects a membership package of up to eight (8) small group personal training sessions per billing cycle, and one only attends seven (7) of his or her eight (8) sessions allowed maximum, the following billing cycle will be eight (8) sessions again, not nine (9) ).
Refunds: Service credit can be transferred to another client, but not refunded.
Session Cancellation & Reschedule Policy
Integrity and keeping your word are the cornerstones of all success. With that in mind, this is how we’ve updated our cancellation and reschedule policy:
Rescheduling Sessions: You have the ability to reschedule any sessions within our scheduling app outside 24-hours prior to start time.
Session Cancellation Policy:
24-Hour Notice: If you provide less than 24 hours' notice to cancel a session, you will forfeit that session unless it is an emergency. Emergencies will be accommodated as long as they are infrequent.
Annual Agreement Exception: You are allowed two (2) exceptions per annual agreement to cancel a session within 24 hours without penalty. After that, the above policy will be enacted. If you do not provide notice at least 24-hours to the start time of your session reservation or do not show up, your session will not be refunded, credited, or rescheduled (except in circumstances of emergencies).
Our goal is to keep you adherent to your scheduled sessions because you signed up for accountability and structure. Consistently moving sessions undermines that goal and does you a disservice. We deeply care about your success and want you to achieve your health and fitness goals. To support you and ensure our business's viability, this policy is effective immediately.
Hold Policy. At Bent On Better, we recognize the need for flexibility in your fitness journey. Our hold policy offers multiple options based on your membership type. Please note, depending on the timing of your hold request, your billing dates may be adjusted. You are responsible for submitting your own hold request. Bent On Better is not responsible for and will not honor any other form of request. If you choose to cancel your membership during the hold period, the standard 28-day written cancellation notice requirement stated in your membership agreement is applicable. If you choose to reactivate your membership after it is cancelled, membership rates in effect at the time of reactivation will be applicable (membership rates are subject to change).
