  3. 2.3The Client receives an assessment, a recorded baseline, a training plan and a nutrition plan, each prepared at or immediately following the Initial Session, together with weekly adjustment of those plans and messaging access to the Coach for the duration of the Program Term. Any plan, document, video or other content the Coach provides is referred to as the Materials.

  2. 3.2Nothing provided under these Terms constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, prescription or a substitute for advice from a qualified health practitioner.
  3. 3.3The Client should obtain clearance from a physician before beginning the Services, and must do so where the Client has, or suspects the Client has, any injury, illness, diagnosed condition, pregnancy, or any condition for which the Client is receiving treatment or medication.
  4. 3.4Where a matter arises during the Program Term that in the reasonable opinion of the Coach requires assessment by a qualified health practitioner, the Coach will refer the Client accordingly and may suspend delivery of the Services until that assessment has taken place.

04Client eligibility and disclosure

  1. 4.1The Client confirms that the Client is at least 18 years of age and has legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

  4. 7.4Where the Coach cancels or reschedules a session, that session is rescheduled at no cost to the Client.

The assessment is performed, the baseline is recorded, and the training plan and the nutrition plan are prepared and delivered at or immediately following that session. The substantial part of the Coach’s work is performed at the beginning of the Program Term rather than spread evenly across it.
  3. 8.3No refund, credit or partial refund is given for a change of mind, for sessions the Client does not attend, for failure to follow the plans provided, for dissatisfaction with the rate of progress, or for any outcome that depends on the Client’s own compliance.

09Cancellation by the Coach

  1. 9.1The Coach may terminate this agreement immediately on written notice where the Client materially breaches these Terms, provides false or misleading information, behaves abusively toward the Coach or any third party, or where continued delivery would in the reasonable opinion of the Coach be unsafe.
  2. 9.2Where the Coach terminates under clause 9.1, no refund is payable except to the extent required by applicable law.
  3. 9.3Where the Coach is unable to deliver the remainder of the Services for any other reason, the Coach refunds the portion of the fee attributable to the Services not delivered, calculated on a pro rata basis by reference to the sessions remaining.

  2. 10.2The Coach makes no representation, warranty or guarantee as to any specific result, and no statement made by the Coach, on his website, or in any marketing material is to be construed as a guarantee of any particular outcome.

11Assumption of risk and release

  4. 19.4Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment relationship or agency between the parties.

Plain language summary

Provided for convenience. It does not form part of the agreement, and where it differs from the clauses above, the clauses above apply.

Cancel any time before your first session and you receive a full refund. Once that first session has taken place the sale is final, because your assessment, your baseline and both of your plans are already delivered. Give 24 hours notice to move a session. Tell your coach about anything that affects your health, see your doctor before you start, and understand that your results depend on what you do. Nothing here removes your rights under BC consumer protection law.
