PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

PAYMENT SUMMARY: Monthly memberships are paid in advance monthly, on the calendar date which the membership became activated, for the following month. Class packages are billed in-full at the time of purchase. Regular monthly dues apply thereafter. Monthly membership payments shall be made by defined bill cycle dates tied to all active memberships, on a month-by-month basis, via automatic debited payment (credit card, debit card, or automatic checking account draft). Additional terms regarding the automatic debited payments are outlined below.

In the event of a declined credit card/debit card, the member’s account will be immediately suspended, pending the member updating their payment information and their membership dues paid in full.

FREEZE POLICY: Members with a monthly unlimited membership may put their membership on hold, in one-month increments, for up to three (3) calendar months. A fee of $25 will be charged per freeze request. Notice of intent to freeze one’s account must be submitted to Sanctuary Fitness via email at admin@formationlagree.com no less than seven (7) business days prior to the freeze date or by completing and submitting the member freeze request form sanctuaryfitness.com/freeze. The freeze request must state both the freeze start date and reactivation date defined by the submitter. Members who provide insufficient notice cannot be guaranteed a timely stop on billing. Members will not be billed for memberships during the freeze months. Billing will resume automatically upon the end of freeze months.

CLASS CANCELLATION AND BOOKING POLICIES

RESERVING CLASSES: Clients are solely responsible for the booking and cancelling of their classes. Clients may reserve class spots online through their account, through the Formation application, the Formation application or by calling Formation during normal business hours and confirming with studio staff (note hours of operation on the “contact” tab.

SIGN-IN: Clients are required to enter their scheduled class no later than 5-minutes after the scheduled start time. If a client does not enter their classroom by this time, it is considered a no-show and Formation reserves the right to assign the spot to another person on the waitlist, as well as charge a no-show fee (detailed below). Additionally, late clients will be prevented from entering class and rebooked as needed free of charge. Why? we want to avoid injury, class disruption, and ensure that all participants have an excellent class experience.

CANCELLATIONS: Reservations may be cancelled without penalty by cancelling up to 6 hours prior to the class start time. This may be done online via a client’s account, or by calling us at (424) 265-8751 and confirming with a staff member. Once the class is cancelled within this time, the class will be returned to the client's account, and the client will not be charged the cancellation fee.

Cancellations via electronic mail (email), Facebook messenger, Instagram or other social media, voice message, text message are not valid and the member will be charged.

CLASS PACKS + LIMITED MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS: If you do not cancel within the 6-hour window, a late-cancel fee of $15 will be charged to your account and the class will be returned. If you do not have a working card on file, your class will be forfeited instead. If you do not cancel and do not show up to your scheduled class, a no-show fee of $20 will be charged to your account and the class will be returned. If you do not have a working card on file, your class will be forfeited instead.

MONTHLY UNLIMITED MEMBERSHIPS: If you do not cancel within the 6-hour requisite window, a late-cancel fee of $15 will be charged to your account. If you do not cancel and do not show up to your scheduled class, a no-show fee of $20 will be charged to your account. If you are on an auto debit contract or unlimited package and do not have a working card on file for such fees, your package will be reduced by one day and your auto debit contract will be suspended upon the subsequent month’s renewal.

The no-show and late-cancel fees apply to ALL clients equally regardless of unlimited status or special package pricing or membership level. Additionally, class credits do not rollover at the close of a month if unused.

If you book multiple classes, or waitlist multiple classes, you are solely responsible for cancelling your classes within the bounds of the cancellation policy outlined above. Formation staff cannot be held responsible for accidental bookings by clients, double bookings, or double waitlisted classes made by members. Late-cancel and no-show fees apply if you do not cancel within the bounds of the cancellation policy for double bookings.

WAITLIST: In the event a scheduled class is booked to capacity, you may place yourself on the waitlist for the class. If you add yourself to a wait list, YOU are solely responsible for managing your bookings and for cancelling your classes within the bounds of the cancellation policy. The system will auto-populate clients into class from the waitlist as soon as other clients with confirmed spots cancel, and class slots will be assigned as such. Formation staff cannot move class slots for clients in classes that are completely full with wait lists.
