Use 'Em or Lose 'em With your Annual or 12 Week Yard Athletics Membership, you have been allotted a specified number of classes or Small Group Personal Training sessions to be accessed every 4 weeks. During the term of your agreement, a new allocation of credits are available for your use every 4 weeks, starting with your auto-payment and expiring 28 days later. Your unused credits will not carry over, so plan in advance, and use those sessions!
Your Auto-Payments Occur Every 4 Weeks You will be billed every 4 weeks. In the event your payment does not go through within 7 days of your renewal date, your membership will be terminated.

You Agree to Support Fellow Members! Our training sessions are run by certified fitness professionals whose mandate is to ensure that all of our clients are provided with a safe, positive and rewarding experience. At all times, you shall behave in a respectful manner towards other individuals and staff while at our facilities, and comply with all verbal instructions given to you by our trainers, as well as stated and customary terms, posted safety signs and rules. If any of our trainers determine (in his or her sole discretion) that your behavior is causing or is likely to cause harm, distress, danger or annoyance to any other individuals (including, but not limited to, clients and staff) at our facilities, or damage to property, the trainer may direct you to leave our facilities immediately, and we reserve the right to terminate your training session immediately, with no right of refund. We may also elect to deny you future access to the Yard’s facilities and the opportunity to participate in any future training sessions. You may be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions.
In addition to the above, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Website or the services we offer at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including, without limitation, breach of these Terms and Conditions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity that may otherwise affect the enjoyment of the services offered by the Yard may be grounds for termination of your access to all or part of the such services at our sole discretion, and you may be referred to appropriate law enforcement agencies. After your access to our services is terminated for any reason, all terms of these Terms and Conditions survive such termination, and continue in full force and effect, except for any terms that by their nature expire or are fully satisfied.
