SMASHBOX
Terms of service.
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
The following terms and conditions of membership comprise our Membership Agreement. By signing up for a SMASHBOX membership, you have agreed to adhere to our Membership Agreement, observe our Facility Rules, and our Coaching Agreement. Any issues related to SMASHBOX’s Membership Agreement should be sent to team@smashboxperformance.com
PAYMENT METHOD AND AUTOMATIC PAYMENT
To maintain an active SMASHBOX membership, you must provide a valid payment method. Unless you cancel your membership within the membership cancellation notice period as set out below, you authorize us to charge the membership fee for the next billing cycle to your payment method. Memberships will automatically renew each month, on the same payment terms, including any fees associated with your account. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration, insufficient funds, or any other reason, we may suspend your access to SMASHBOX until we have successfully charged a valid payment method. You may update your payment method via the SMASHBOX App. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
MEMBERSHIP RATES
Membership rates are subject to change at any time with 45 days’ notice.
MEMBERSHIP HOLDS
We appreciate the somewhat unique travel needs of our membership, and we strive to balance the sustainability of our business with the lifestyle of our valued members. Please communicate with us directly if you require special accommodations. As a general policy, Members may put their membership on hold, for a period of no less than eight days and no more than forty-five days. Unless other arrangements are expressly made, holds are limited to a maximum of 45 days in a twelve-month period. Hold requests must be sent to team@smashboxperformance.com with a minimum of five business days’ notice. Please note that we are unable to issue holds retroactively.
MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION / TERMINATION
Please do not send cancellation messages via our Instagram page, by text, WhatsApp, or other social media sites. All communication regarding membership concerns, including holds and/or cancellations must be sent via email to team@smashboxperformance.com. Until your membership is cancelled or put on hold, failure to attend class or open gym does not relieve you of the obligation to pay your membership fees when due. Refunds, if applicable, are determined on a case-by-case basis.
You may cancel your membership with a minimum of five business days notice via email to team@smashboxperformance.com. You will continue to have access to SMASHBOX through the end of your billing period. When you cancel your account, you will lose access to the SMASHBOX app, booking system and FitBuilder at the end of your current billing period.
MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION BY SMASHBOX
SMASHBOX may terminate memberships for non-payment, breach of contract, failure of the Member to abide by the Facility Rules and Member Conduct, or other reasons specified in these Terms and Conditions. Please send any concerns to team@smashboxperformance.com
PERSONAL TRAINING
Personal Training (PT) is a highly customized service, as such there are expectations on both sides,
Change takes time, a minimum 12-week training commitment is recommended, and expected. This twelve-week period includes a one-week evaluation period during which clients may cancel without penalty. After the expiry of the one-week evaluation period, clients are obliged to complete their purchased PT program and no refunds are available.
SMASHBOX may require new PT clients to obtain medical clearance and consent before commencing training, especially for clients with pre-existing medical conditions or injuries. SMASHBOX respects client privacy and confidentiality surrounding data protection in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.
Clients have the option of approving or declining permission for SMASHBOX to use their images (e.g., “before and after” transformation photos) and testimonials in promotional materials.
INJURIES
Despite the best possible programming and safeguards, health issues and injuries can arise. Please keep SMASHBOX updated and aware of any issues which may affect your training; we can often provide modified programming to support optimal recovery. We may require medical clearance from your health care provider before you return to training.
CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING
We have a 24-hour notice policy for cancelling and rescheduling Personal Training appointments. Class booking (early) cancellations must be made two hours prior to class, and by 9:30pm the night prior, for morning classes. Cancellations made after these times (late) may incur a fee of $15 per occurrence. No-shows may incur a fee of $25 per occurrence for members, and forfeiture of 1 pass for 10-pack and single pass purchasers.
RECURRING/STANDING APPOINTMENTS
While we will make every effort to preserve standing/ongoing appointments, such as Personal Training, we reserve the right to re-assign those scheduled time slots in the client’s absence, which may necessitate the arrangement of new dates and times to complete a block of sessions upon the client’s return to training.
Session and block-session purchases must be made in advance and be kept up to date. Sessions expire after three months of non-use and are non-refundable.
Every effort will be made to complete a client’s block of training; however, this may necessitate rescheduling to find mutually available times for both the trainer and the client. Although SMASHBOX does not guarantee a particular trainer-client pairing, we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate preferences.
GOAL SETTING, EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT
The training process, including goals, assessments, and progress tracking is a collaborative process; client buy-in and participation in these areas is crucial to ensure optimal progress.
FACILITY RULES AND MEMBER CONDUCT
Members are responsible for adhering to gym hours, policies, and rules, including guest policies and washroom/shower etiquette as more particularly set out below.
RESPECT FOR OTHERS
SMASHBOX is a community that functions at its best when Members, Coaches, Staff, and Guests operate in a manner that is respectful and considerate of others. This includes making new members feel welcome, respecting others’ personal space; ensuring that you and other Members have enough space to safely train, while sharing the gym with others, and adhering to rules regarding use of gym equipment. If unsure about gym rules or gym etiquette, please seek assistance from SMASHBOX staff or email team@smashboxperformance.com
CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE
Members, coaches, and staff are expected to help maintain a clean environment. Members are requested to wipe-down equipment used by them, and the gym mats as needed, using spray cleaner and black towels provided.
EQUIPMENT USE
SMASHBOX prides itself on having world class equipment. In order to keep our equipment and facilities in good working order, please respect our equipment. NEVER drop an empty barbell, kettlebell, or a heavy dumbbell. If you notice or experience broken, or problematic equipment, including dead batteries, or any other item needing attention, please advise SMASHBOX staff immediately, so that it can be addressed.
Turf is a special area of the gym, sled work and other turf-specific training is the priority. Skipping rope and dumbell work that impacts on the turf are damaging to the surface, so are not allowed.
Please avoid using gym equipment - boxes, benches, etc., as a coffee table for personal, or your training items.
Please put all equipment back where it belongs and in a good state. In particular, we ask Members to ensure that when rowers are being stored in their upright position, that the rowers do not impact, or make contact with, the walls.
FOOTWEAR
No outdoor footwear is allowed on the gym floor; outdoor footwear must be changed in the entry area upstairs. If needed, spray disinfectant and black towels are provided to clean outdoor shoe soles.
CHALK
Please keep chalk in the buckets provided and avoid excessive use of chalk. Please spray/wipe up any chalk marks on floor after your workout.
TOWELS
We provide towels for all Members and drop-in guests for workouts, clean-up and showers. We ask that black towels be restricted to use for clean-up of gym mats and training equipment. White towels are for personal-use and for showering. Please dispose of all used towels in the hampers provided in each of the washrooms and on the gym floor. Please inform a SMASHBOX coach or staff member if towels need replenishment.
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
In order to ensure the safety and security of Members and our facility, we operate video cameras in the public areas of SMASHBOX.
VIDEO RECORDING AND SOCIAL MEDIA
SMASHBOX does allow recording for personal and social media purposes, with the caveat that any recording does not adversely affect the training experience, or privacy of other members, nor can it portray SMASHBOX in an unflattering manner. SMASHBOX does reserve the right to approve content and must receive the appropriate tags and recognition. As this has the potential to negatively impact on our brand, any breach of this policy will result in immediate termination of membership with no refund of any payments made.
LOST AND FOUND
SMASHBOX is not responsible for any items left behind by members or guests. While we make every attempt to reunite lost items with their owners, any forgotten items will be discarded after 7 days.
ATTENDANCE
Our attendance and reservation policy exists to ensure class scheduling remains equitable for all SMASHBOX Members. Your continued membership serves as an agreement to adhere to our CLASS AND OPEN GYM RESERVATION POLICY.

COACHING AGREEMENT
Coaching is a collaborative process between the Member and the Coach. Our Coaches strive with skill and empathy, to help you assess and improve your limitations, and to reach your goals.
By entering into this agreement, the Coach and Member acknowledge our Members’ desire to make a positive impact on their own health & wellness. As such, Members agree to adhere to the following Coaching Agreement.
Responsibilities & Duties of Coach to Member:
Coaches agree to act in accordance with SMASHBOX’S Mission, Vision, and Values and make themselves available during designated class times, or personal appointments, to aid the member in maximizing their experience and evolution at SMASHBOX.
Coaches will assume that each Member is giving their best effort. While Coaches strive to see things from the member’s perspective, they reserve the right to act swiftly and appropriately to protect the safety and well-being of both the Member and the SMASHBOX community.
Responsibilities & Duties of Member to Coach:
Members recognize that, in a class setting, the needs of the group outweigh the needs of the individual and will act in a manner that supports class instruction. It is imperative that Members avoid talking with each other, moving about the gym, or otherwise serving as a distraction while the Coach(es) are addressing the class.
Members will listen attentively to Coaches, move through a full (pain free) range of motion, and recognize that coaching is not a negotiation. Coaches ensure you are moving safely and have your best interest in mind. However, it is the Member’s responsibility to listen to your body and clearly communicate injuries or limitations.
Members understand that the Coaches act only in the best interest of all SMASHBOX’s Members.
Any issues directly related to our Coaching Agreement should be forwarded to team@smashboxperformance.com
