We are a 24/7 facility, but services available at anytime may change even for members. We may close the facility at anytime for meetings, filmography, classes, or any other event or purpose. Availability is limited, subject to change, and appointments are required for visits. Availability may be found in the Pike Fitness app.

Scheduling: Appointment schedule will be agreed upon prior to signing this agreement, and both parties are responsible for fulfilling their scheduled obligation. Trainer availability is guaranteed only for day(s), time(s), and session duration initially agreed upon, and no additional availability can be guaranteed. Additionally, we may cancel sessions at any time subject to our Trainer Breaks clause below.

• Appointment Length: The duration of each session will be agreed upon at the time of contract signing. Appointments will begin and end promptly at their scheduled times. If you arrive late to a scheduled appointment, the session will still conclude at the scheduled end time, guaranteeing only the remaining duration.
• Appointment Frequency: Your membership will be charged monthly, but the entire three-month period of sessions will appear in your account (weekly training frequency x 12 weeks). This membership is intended to be used on a set weekly frequency and set schedule, but as a courtesy to our clients, the sessions may be rescheduled (see Appointment Rescheduling below). To prevent overuse, we have a weekly cap on sessions limited to your weekly frequency plus one, and once all sessions are used, we may pause training without affecting your regularly scheduled billing.
• No-shows: If you are 15 minutes late or more without notice, the appointment will be marked as a no-show and will be forfeited. Additionally, each no-show is subject to a $10 no show fee per occurrence and limited to three (3) per agreement term See “Excessive No-Shows” under Termination clause below.
• Cancellations: If you cannot make a scheduled appointment, you must cancel the session to prevent a no-show. Sessions are subject to a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel prior to the 24-hour window, the session may be available for rescheduling, subject to rescheduling policy below. If you fail to cancel an appointment prior to the 24-hour window, the session will be forfeited and may not be made up with a reschedule.
• Appointment Rescheduling: Early cancelled appointments may be available for rescheduling. Rescheduling is dependent on the availability of the training staff and is not guaranteed. No rescheduling is available for no-shows or late cancels. If we are unable to reschedule a session, the session will be forfeited, your schedule will resume as normal, and no additional fees will apply.
  • Free Rescheduling: You may be able to reschedule an appointment free of charge if you do so yourself via the scheduling tool at train.pikefitness.com or via the Pike Fitness app, at least 24 hours in advance. Rescheduling is limited to one extra session weekly, so if you train 3 days per week and miss a week, you’ll be able to reschedule those sessions over the course of at least 3 weeks.
  • Charged Rescheduling: If no times are available in the app, or if what times are available are outside of your weekly frequency cap, we may be able to help set you up in a non-listed time or move our schedule around to fit you in. Please contact us to see if additional times may be available. If we manually help you reschedule an appointment, a $10 rescheduling fee will be charged to your card on file per occurrence upon accepting and confirming the rescheduled time.
  • Trainer Requested Rescheduling: Your trainer may request a reschedule at any time prior to your appointment. Such changes will not affect your account and will be your choice whether to agree to a schedule change or not. If we must modify or cancel your appointment and cannot find a substitute or reschedule with you, your billing will be reduced. (see Payment Adjustment clause)

Scheduling: Appointments must be reserved in advance in the Pike Fitness app. We do not accept reservations via text, email, or phone. Failure to arrive or cancel an open gym workout will result in a $5 penalty charge per occurrence. Failure to reserve an appointment will also subject you to refusal of entry or a $5 no-reservation arrival fee per occurrence.

We may close the studio and limit occupancy at anytime, even if you have a membership for 24/7 gym access. We may close the studio for special events, classes, meetings, filmography, cleaning or any other reason at anytime without notice, however if you are booked for an appointment in a time we need to close, we will attempt to notify you at our earliest convenience. If you are not reserved for an appointment, we may not notify you if we must close and you will just simply not see available appointments in the app.

Scheduling: Appointments group exercise classes must be booked at least 6 hours in advance in the Pike Fitness app. We do not accept reservations via text, email, or phone. Failure to arrive or cancel a group exercise reservation will result in a $5 penalty charge per occurrence plus on top of a late cancellation of your visit.

We may deny entry to the class if you don’t have a reservation, or charge you a $5 no reservation fee per occurrence if you are granted access anyways.

We may cancel the class if we fail to hit minimum occupancy limits, and each class may have different limits. We will notify people who reserved a visit to the cancelled class our earliest possible convenience, but those not reserved will not be notified, the class will simply be cancelled and removed from the schedule.

The session length will be approximately the length of time of booking. We will try our best to start the session on time and end on time. We may have another session immediately after yours so please expect a punctual stop at the end of the appointment time. If either party needs to discuss anything that cannot be handled during the exercise session, please notify your trainer in the beginning of the session so they can reserve the appropriate amount of time at the beginning or end of the session to complete whatever business needs attention.

PERSONAL TRAINING: If you arrive to the session late, you will be granted the remaining time left in scheduled session. If you and your trainer agree to fulfill the full session length, and go beyond the scheduled session time period, it is at the good will and discretion of your trainer and gym, and is not guaranteed. If you are 15 minutes late or more without notice, we may mark you as absent, cancel the session, and charge a no-show fee.

OPEN GYM WORKOUTS: If you arrive late to a solo workout, we ask that you only stay for the remainder of the appointment time. Please do not stay past your scheduled appointment time. We may ask you to leave if you stick around past your appointment end time.

PERSONAL TRAINING: A 24-hour cancellation policy will be strictly enforced. If you must cancel a session, please contact your trainer or cancel the session online or with the MINDBODY App at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment start time to avoid penalty charges. We may charge 100% of the value of the session if you cancel within 24 hours or are absent. If we grant the opportunity to make up the session, and you miss or late cancel the make-up session, we will charge both.

OPEN GYM WORKOUTS: A 1 hour cancellation policy will be strictly enforced. If you must cancel a session, please do so online or via the MINDBODY app at least 1 hour in advance to avoid late cancel or no-show penalty charges. We will charge $5 per occurrence for no-shows or late cancels since doing so takes a spot away from another potential exercisers.

We reserve the right to cancel sessions with or without notice at any time leading up to the appointment for any reason including inclement weather, inability to travel to a session, danger due to air quality, fire, war, famine, government intervention, risk of infectious disease, or any other factor.

We may use and send auto reminders via text and email to your email address and/or phone number provided. You may opt out of one upon request, however we ask you receive at least one reminder message to avoid possible scheduling errors. If you do not receive a reminder message, we may not have you in our schedule. Please contact your trainer if you do not receive a reminder message. If we do not have you in our schedule, we will not be responsible for being absent or booking another person in the same time slot. If you are ever unsure of an appointment time, please reach your to your trainer.

All training services must be paid in advance and up to date. If you do not have appointments prepaid in your account, we may charge your card on file one day in advance of the scheduled appointment time. Arriving to a session without payment is grounds for an immediate cancellation of any scheduled session(s) and will be treated as a late cancellation. Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit and debit card. If a check bounces, a $30 inconvenience fee will be placed on your account to cover any banking fees. If you purchase a training package and wish to cancel training, you have 90 days to use or gift your sessions to others. We have a no refund policy except in the event of a serious medical injury or emergency, or in the event of business closure outside of our control, and is at our discretion and not guaranteed.

It is the Trainer’s decision to discontinue training because of any condition which presents an adverse risk or threat to the health or safety of the Client. If an injury is present, Trainer may require a Medical Clearance prior to further training.

Personal Training Levels

Pike Fitness trainers are always improving through continuing education and experience. Our organization incentivizes ongoing performance improvement and dedication to our brand with incremental pay increases. When our trainers reach the next level in pay grades, their clients will be notified of such change and their new rate at least 30 days in advance as mentioned above. If you wish to keep your same rate of service, you may be required to switch trainers, but we do not guarantee availability.

It is the duty of your trainer to not take calls, text messages or emails during sessions. This applies to your sessions as well as other client’s sessions so please expect a delay of up to 24 hours (in some instances longer) for us to respond to inquires by phone, text, or email.
