We have permission to take your photograph and use it on social media, promotions, etc. You’re agreeing to not make monetary claims against us for the use of your photo.
Our billing system runs on weekly auto-billing. Your membership will begin on the date you start with us, and your billing will automatically renew every 7 days thereafter - to cover the next 7 days of training up front - unless you notify us otherwise. All Auto-Payment Memberships require a valid credit or debit card to be stored on a protected computer file
We require a two week notice for any memberships changes - upgrade, downgrade, cancel or hold.
MEMBERSHIP HOLD: If you'd like to freeze, or hold, your membership for a specific period of time (usually used for vacations, travel, sickness, or family emergencies), you can put your membership on hold two times per calendar year for up to two weeks only. In this case, we will zero out 1-2 weeks of your automatic weekly billing schedule for the specified weeks. Gage Strength Training MUST have a two week notice of the membership freeze, or else we cannot freeze your account. This means there must be at least 14 days between the day the notice is given and the desired start date of the membership freeze. To freeze your membership, you must email the Member Relations Manager.
MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION: If you'd like to cancel, or terminate, your membership, you must give a 2 week notice. This means there must be at least 14 days between the day the notice is given and the initial start date of the membership cancellation. There will be a $50 processing fee for ALL membership terminations. To cancel your membership, you must email the Member Relations Manager. After your cancellation, if you decide to return at a later date and begin a new membership, your membership fees may be subject to any changes in rates that have occurred.
All membership cancellations will result in loss of Perkville rewards points.
Gym memberships are non-refundable, with the exception of severe injury. All membership charges are final once processed unless there is a severe case of injury.
Gage Strength Training does not refund or credit unused sessions. Once you pay for your week of membership up front, those sessions must be used within 7 days from the date of purchase. If you do not use those sessions, the sessions are not redeemable or refunded.
Membership changes (to a different membership type) can be made as frequently as once per month but no more than that.
Small Group Session Late Cancel: If you wish to cancel a previously scheduled Small Group personal training session, we require that you cancel an hour before the start of the session. If you cancel less than an hour before the session start time, it counts as a Late Cancel, and you will lose that session for the week (ie: that session will count towards your number of sessions for that week and you will not be able to make it up at a later date).
Small Group Session No Show Policy: If you do not show to a scheduled Small Group session, you will lose that session for the week (ie: that session will count towards your number of sessions for that week and you will not be able to make it up at a later date).
We have the right to cancel any sessions necessary due to staff trainings, schedule changes, a national holiday, severe weather, or any emergency issue. Sessions due to these closures will not be rescheduled, nor do we provide membership refunds or adjustments due to closures. One-on-one Personal Training sessions will be rescheduled at a mutually agreed upon time. Gage Strength Training closes on Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th, Christmas, the day after Christmas, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and New Year’s Day.
We will provide 30 days notice for any changes in our rates.
If you choose to bring a child under 18 years of age to be at our facility while you attend a workout class, you may do so at your own risk. Gage Strength Training does not assume any liability for the children you bring; you are agreeing to assume all liability. You are agreeing to not make monetary or other claim against Gage Strength Training for anything that should happen to the child you bring while you are at Gage Strength Training. Children are required to stay in our designated common areas off of the gym floor and they MUST be in the same room as you while you workout. These designated areas include: Main Floor lobby area, Side Room A wall by the windows, and Side Room B front area by the bathroom.
