FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

NOT A MEMBER YET? HERE ARE SOME BEGINNER FAQS:

(ALREADY A MEMBER? KEEP SCROLLING FOR MEMBER POLICIES & FAQS BELOW)

I am a beginner. Is the program too advanced for me?
Not at all. The workouts can be adjusted on the spot to accommodate all fitness levels. Your instructor will provide you with modifications to ensure that you get the same level of challenge while working within your current abilities.  Our workout sizes are purposely limited to accommodate everyone's personalized needs.

I have been exercising for years. Is the program too basic for me?
Nope! The workouts can be adjusted on the spot to accommodate all fitness levels. Your instructor will provide you with advanced exercises to ensure that you get an added challenge for your current abilities. You may find that these workouts are just the change of pace your workout routine needs!  Our workout sizes are purposely limited to accommodate everyone's personalized needs.

Is this program appropriate for children?
No, our Girl Fight workouts are designed for adults (18+). We have tried including tweens and teenagers in our workouts in the past and have found the majority of them tend to feel more comfortable and follow along better in a program specifically designed for young people of their own age. If you have specific questions, feel free to contact us. 

When are your class times?
Our class schedule is located right on our website menu or can be viewed here.

There are lots of class choices. How do I pick the one that's right for me? Try them all! Seriously, though, your best approach would probably be to try a kickboxing class, since that offers the greatest variety, and then go from there.

How do your memberships/prices work?
We are not a typical "gym" where people take classes and go home without guidance or support. We offer personalized health and fitness programs tailored to each person's individual needs and goals, with accountability and support provided both inside and outside our studio.

For that reason, we do not offer drop-in class options or "one size fits all" programming. We speak individually with each woman to determine (1) if Girl Fight is a good fit and (2) what kind of program/training option fits her goals the best.

While our membership options are varied and personalized, our average membership price makes our workouts as low as $16 each.

What kind of a commitment level do you require?
We ask our new members to commit to three workouts with us per week in order to experience the best results. Since our program is highly personalized, we do not offer drop-in class options.

How do I get started?
The first step is to contact us so that we can get to know your goals and ensure that Girl Fight is a match for what you're looking for. Click here to request a free introductory class and goals assessment. We will be in touch with more information once we receive your form!

GIRL FIGHT MEMBERS - POLICIES AND FAQS:

(NOT YET A MEMBER? SCROLL ABOVE FOR BEGINNER FAQS)

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR CLASS
Due to Girl Fight's popularity and our limited class sizes, workouts can often fill up quickly. Class reservations are REQUIRED.

In order to secure your spot in any class, we recommend that you sign up ahead of time using our online scheduling system here. If you do not register for a class, we cannot guarantee you will have a spot.  

Please note that any class participant or anyone who takes advantage of Girl Fight Fitness's services will be asked to electronically sign our Liability Agreement before their first workout.

WHAT TO BRING
Please come to class with clean athletic shoes to change into for the class (no outdoor shoes please -- this helps us keep the studio and equipment clean for you). Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring water to drink during exercise. If you sweat a lot, it might also be a good idea to bring a towel.

For the Girl Fight kickboxing classes, if you own boxing gloves, you can bring those too. If you do not own a pair of boxing gloves, no worries! We have gloves you can borrow for the workout until you're able to purchase gloves of your own.

HOW TO CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION
Log into your account, click on the "Home" tab, and find the section labeled "Reservations in Upcoming Classes." If you need to cancel your reservation, click "cancel reservation" next to the class.

NOTE: All class cancellations must occur via the Online Scheduler. Girl Fight will not accept cancellations made via phone or email.  

WORKOUT CANCELLATION POLICY
To ensure ample time for people to get into the workouts they want to take, and to make sure people are committed to taking class once they sign up, you have up until 2 hours before the class start time to cancel your reservation online without penalty. Workout cancellations cannot be accepted via phone or email and must be performed using the Online Scheduler.

After 2 hours before class, you will be marked as a Late Cancel or No Show. The following penalty will take place:  

• If you have an UNLIMITED monthly membership, a $10 No-Show fee will be charged to your payment card on file.  
• If you have a LIMITED-VISIT membership (i.e. 12 classes per billing period or 20-class package), your visit will still be deducted from your balance as though you had attended. There is no monetary penalty.
• If you have a fixed-term membership (i.e. 6-month pass), two (2) days will be removed from the end of the pass. There is no monetary penalty.
• Important - if you are feeling unwell or have been exposed to someone who may have an infectious disease (i.e. COVID-19) that could be transmitted to others, please contact us and we will waive the No-Show fee. We would rather you err on the side of caution and will not penalize you for being responsible and respectful of others' health and safety.
• Note - there are no No-Show fees for online-only classes since space is unlimited.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY PRICE LOCK POLICY
We realize that too many gyms give discounts to the NEW members and don't give back to the customers that have proven amazing loyalty and support. As a result, we want to reward you for your loyalty and for being an awesome part of our Girl Fight Community! 

As long as you keep your membership continuously active, your rate is protected against any potential future price increases.

Retaining your price is based on maintaining a continuous membership; if you cancel your membership or have a lapse between renewal periods, you forfeit your loyalty savings. Loyalty savings cannot be combined with any other discount or offer.  Contact us for more details!

MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION POLICY
Our membership cancellation policies vary based on your membership type:  

• Recurring Memberships (Non-Contract): We require a minimum commitment of three (3) billing cycles for any non-contract membership. After that time, the membership may be canceled with 28 days' written notice before your next billing date. There is no termination fee for a non-contract membership. If notice is given with less than 28 days' notice before your next billing date, your next bill will still go through as normal (and your membership will be active for an additional period). After that time, your membership change will take effect. 
• 12-Month Membership Commitment: Due to the savings and/or incentives given to you for locking in a 12-month commitment, we require 28 days' written notice before your next billing date AND an early termination fee equivalent to the difference between your billing rate and our standard, non-contract billing rate, for all billing periods beginning from your membership start date to your date of cancellation.
• Paid-In-Full, Fixed-Term Enrollment (i.e. 6 Months, 12 Months): Due to the savings and/or incentives given to you for locking in for a fixed membership term, no changes, pauses, extensions, or early cancellations are permitted.  

NOTE: Any cancellations or lapses (not for medical reasons) will result in the forfeiture of any customer loyalty discounts.  Please see below for our policies regarding medical pauses.

To proceed with cancelling your membership, click here to complete the Cancellation Request form.

NON-MEDICAL MEMBERSHIP PAUSES
We do not offer non-medical pauses for non-contract memberships. However, for 12-month contracts, we allow one (1) single non-medical pause (vacations, etc.) of up to 30 consecutive days per year. This pause must be done at once; you cannot "roll" unused days into a second pause -- the limit is one pause per year of up to 30 consecutive days.

Pause requests must be made in writing, emailed to info@girlfightfit.com, at least 48 hours before your requested pause date.

Please note that pauses cannot be applied retroactively; we can only apply them from the date of first written request and forward.

MEDICAL MEMBERSHIP PAUSES
We understand that things happen (long-term injury or illness) and we are committed to work with you around any medical challenges while you're a part of the Girl Fight community. If you are committed to continue working out with us once physically able again, we offer FREE medical pauses on your membership, following all guidelines below.

Please note that pauses cannot be applied retroactively; we can only apply them from the date of written request and forward.

Medical Pause Notification Timeframe

We will grant free medical pauses, with no forfeiture of your locked-in membership rate, for any medically-related illness or injury that will prevent you from participating in fitness activities for at least 5 days and up to 60 days without a doctor's note (this does not apply to vacations or work travel; please see above for our non-medical pause policy). If the pause is needed for more than 60 days, or an extension is needed past the initial 60 days, we need a doctor's note via email confirming the timeframe in order to grant the request.

How to Request a Medical Pause

Please note that we need at least 48 hours notice to put the medical pause into effect. While our turnaround times are often sooner than that, we need to plan sufficient time to respond to your request, especially if it is received overnight, over a weekend, or on a holiday.

Requests must be submitted via email to info@girlfightfit.com. We cannot process any requests submitted via text or phone call; they must be in writing via email for our records.

Note: if your next bill occurs less than 48 hours before the time of request, there is a chance we will not be able to stop the bill before it is processed. However, your membership will be frozen in place after the bill is processed and you will not lose time on your membership period.

Important Notes Regarding Medical Pauses

We are agreeing to save your class spot and locked-in pricing -- at no expense to you -- on the condition that, if/when medically able, you intend to return to Girl Fight Fitness when you're well again (that's why we offer these pauses at no additional charge).

If, after your medical pause period, you find you are MEDICALLY UNABLE to continue working out at Girl Fight Fitness permanently, please send a doctor's note confirming this to info@girlfightfit.com and we will terminate your membership without penalty. Please note that we need at least 48 hours' notice before your next bill; otherwise we cannot guarantee we can stop the bill in time. If a doctor confirms that you are permanently unable to work out with us, you will be unable to return at any point in the future due to medical liability reasons.

If, after your medical pause period, you find you CAN physically/medically continue workouts at Girl Fight Fitness, but choose not to do so for other non-medical reasons, you are still financially responsible for your final billing period of membership with us (and any associated early cancellation fees, if applicable) per our 28-days-notice cancellation policy (measured from the time your pause would restart). We had planned for your return and saved your spot (and locked-in pricing) during the length of your pause; once we understand that you are not returning, we need sufficient time to adapt to your permanent departure.

Please also note that, if you need more time to recover and do plan on returning eventually, you can apply for an extension of your medical pause per the instructions above.

DECLINED MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT POLICY
We rely on timely membership payments per our membership agreement in order to ensure that we can continue to provide the workouts that you love.  

If a membership payment is declined, your account will be locked immediately:

• Your existing workout reservations will be cancelled.
• You will be unable to make future workout reservations.
• You will not be admitted to any Girl Fight workout until your declined payment is resolved.

You will receive a notification of the declined payment via email and text. You will have 48 hours to reconcile the payment with us in order to restore your account to good standing.

If there are circumstances beyond your control (i.e. stolen payment card, bank fraud) that are causing your payment to be declined, please contact us. We can make alternative arrangements to keep your account in good standing.

If it is not reconciled within 48 hours:  

• The membership is terminated and any price-lock guarantees are lost. 
• Our billing processor will be notified that the account is in default for associated escalation.
• The account will be flagged as deliquent and will be permanently deactivated.  You will be unable to return to Girl Fight in the future.
