Recurring 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 and Terms of Service 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, responsibilities and travel of our valued members. Please communicate with us directly if you require special accommodations, such as major surgery, etc.  As a general policy, Members may put their membership on hold, for a period of no less than eight days and no more than 30 days. Unless other arrangements are expressly made, holds are limited to a maximum of 30 days in a twelve-month period. There are no holds July-August, or December-January, please see LONG TERM HOLDS below for more options.

    The hold period is automatically reactivated after the selected duration, and regular payments resume.

    Hold requests with specific dates must be sent to dermot@smashboxperformance.com with a minimum of seven days’ notice. Please note that we are unable to issue holds retroactively.

    LONG-TERM HOLDS

    In special circumstances members can request long-term membership holds (30, 60, or 90 days) up to one time per calendar year, for an administration fee of $35 per hold, per month or part thereof. If used, foregoes usage of our standard hold policy.

    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 dermot@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 dermot@smashboxperformance.com. You will continue to have access to SMASHBOX through the end of your 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 dermot@smashboxperformance.com

  • 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 dermot@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.

    Any questions or issues with our CLASS AND OPEN GYM RESERVATION POLICY should be forwarded to dermot@smashboxperformance.com.

  • 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/recommencing 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. 

    PERSONAL TRAINING HOLDS

    Given the somewhat unique travel needs of our membership, we strive to balance the sustainability of our business with the lifestyle and business responisibilities of our valued PT clients. Please communicate with us directly if you require special accommodations, such as major surgery, etc.  As a general policy, Clients may put their PT sessions on hold, for a period of no less than eight days and no more than 30 days. Unless other arrangements are expressly made, holds are limited to a maximum of 30 days in a twelve-month period. There are no holds July-August, or December-January.

    A current/valid payment method must remain on-file and if the membership is cancelled during the hold period, 30-days written cancellation notice is required.

    Hold requests with specific dates must be sent to dermot@smashboxperformance.com with a minimum of seven days’ notice. Please note that we are unable to issue holds retroactively.

    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.

  • Coaching is a collaborative process between the Client/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.
