1. PARTIES & RELATIONSHIP
This Agreement is entered into on DATE (the “Effective Date”) between Alpha Athletic Development, LLC (“Coach” or “Company”) and CLIENT NAME (“Client” or “Buyer”).
-
Independent Status: Coach operates as a separate, independent company. If services are provided at a third-party facility (e.g., Ascend Physical Therapy), the Client understands they are a client of Alpha Athletic Development, LLC, not the facility.

Important Distinction: Although the Coach is a licensed physical therapist in Georgia and North Carolina, services under this Agreement are provided strictly in the capacity of a strength and conditioning professional. Any physical therapy services must be governed by a separate agreement.

3271 Lynwood Dr NE,
Brookhaven, GA 30319
Do not sign this contract if there are any blank spaces above. In the event optional services are offered, be sure that any options you have not selected are lined through or that it is otherwise indicated that you have not selected these options.
It is recommended that you send your cancellation notice by registered or certified mail or statutory overnight delivery, return receipt requested, in order to prove that you did cancel. If you do hand deliver your cancellation, be sure to get a signed statement from an official of the spa, acknowledging your cancellation.
To be effective, your cancellation must be postmarked by midnight, or hand delivered by midnight on [INSERT DATE: 7 BUSINESS DAYS FROM SIGNING], and must include all contract forms, membership cards, and any and all other documents and evidence of membership previously delivered to you.
If you cancel within the seven-day period, the Company will refund all payments made, less the fair market value of services actually received during those seven days, which shall not exceed $100.00. Refunds will be issued within 30 days of receipt of your cancellation notice.
(Note to Staff: Calculate date excluding Sundays and any public and legal holidays.)
4.2 Cancellation for Substantial Change
You (the buyer) may cancel this agreement within 30 days from the time you knew or should have known of any substantial change in the services or programs available at the time you joined. Substantial changes include, but are not limited to, changing from being coed to being exclusively for one sex and vice versa.
To cancel, send written notice of your cancellation to the address provided in this contract for sending a notice of cancellation. The best way to cancel is by keeping a photocopy and sending the cancellation by registered or certified mail or statutory overnight delivery, return receipt requested.
4.3 Cancellation Due to Failure to Offer Alternate Location
Under this contract, no further payments shall be due to anyone, including any purchaser of any note associated with or contained in this contract, in the event the health spa at which the contract is entered into ceases operation and fails to offer an alternate location, substantially similar, within ten miles.
4.4 Cancellation Due to Disability or Death
If you (the buyer) become totally and permanently disabled during the membership term, you may cancel this contract. The health spa is entitled to a reasonable predetermined fee in such event in addition to an amount equal to the value of the services made available for use. This amount shall be computed by dividing the total cost of the membership by the total number of months under the membership and multiplying the result by the number of months expired under the membership term.
If you (the buyer) die during the membership term, your estate may cancel the contract. The health spa is entitled to a reasonable predetermined fee in such event in addition to an amount equal to the value of the services made available for use. This amount shall be computed by dividing the total cost of the membership by the total number of months under the membership and multiplying the result by the number of months expired under the membership term.
-
Definition of Total and Permanent Disability: For purposes of this Agreement, "total and permanent disability" means a condition which has existed or will exist for more than 45 days and which will prevent you (the buyer) from using the services to the same extent as you (the buyer) used them before commencement of the condition.
4.5 Heart Disease Warning
If you (the buyer) have a history of heart disease, you should consult a physician before joining a spa.
4.6 CALCULATION OF REFUNDS (FAIR MARKET VALUE)
For the purposes of calculating refunds under any clause in this Section 4:
-
Session Packages: Refunds for non-recurring session packages shall be prorated based on the number of sessions utilized, not the time elapsed. The cost of services "actually received" will be calculated at the Company’s current Single Session (Drop-In) Rate, not the discounted package rate.
-
Subscriptions: Refunds for monthly subscriptions will be prorated based on the number of days active in the billing cycle prior to cancellation.
5. SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE POLICIES
5.1 Cancellation & Rescheduling
-
2-Hour Notice: You may cancel or reschedule a session up to 2 hours prior to the start time.
-
Late Cancel: If you cancel less than 2 hours before the session, the session is forfeited and will not be refunded.
-
No-Shows: Failure to arrive for a scheduled session results in forfeiture of that session. No refunds will be issued.
5.2 Force Majeure
If services are interrupted by acts of God, pandemic, or government orders for more than 30 days, the Client may either suspend the agreement (extending expiration dates) or cancel and receive a pro-rated refund for unused sessions.

In such cases, the Coach may modify the program to accommodate said injuries.
