If you wish to change your package, you must communicate this with us in writing before the due date of your next package. Prices are subject to change at our discretion, and any modifications will be communicated directly to the client, either in person or through text.

3.3. Billing Cycle
Billing will take place every 28 days. You will be charged for all sessions (up to 12) on the date of your first session in the new package. If your payment doesn’t go through, we will inform you and you will have 1 week to change payment methods or you will potentially have to concede your spot.
3.3. Refund Policy
Under no circumstances will refunds be given. If you sign up for a month of training, you will be expected to adhere to that agreed upon schedule and will be expected to take the loss in the case you cannot continue training.
3.4. Package Expiration
If you purchase a package of training sessions, the sessions must be used within 60 days. Unused sessions may expire, and no refunds or extensions will be provided unless otherwise stated in our policies.

Services may be paused for extenuating circumstances, which may include but are not limited to - severe sickness, injury, or short term changes to your lifestyle such as taking care of a loved one, losing your job, etc. Specifically, short-term vacations (14 days or less) will not be considered a valid reason to pause services. In acceptable cases, you will be given no more and no less than a 30 day grace period, during which your spot will be reserved. After this 30 day grace period, you will have another 60 days to use your sessions before your sessions will expire.

4. Attendance Policy
At Evolve Personal Training ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to providing effective and valuable personal training services to our clients. To ensure the smooth operation of our training programs, and your success on those programs, we have established the following Attendance Policy:
4.1. Session Charges
Clients are responsible for the full session fee, as agreed upon at the start of their package, whether or not they attend a scheduled training session.
4.2. Cancellation Notice
If you are unable to attend a scheduled training session, you must provide at least 24 hours' notice to your trainer in advance of the session start time in order to make up that session.
4.3. Missed sessions with communication
If you miss a scheduled training session but have provided at least 24 hours' notice to your trainer, you will have the opportunity to reschedule the missed session at a later date, within a 60-day window. Rescheduled sessions may not take the place of previously scheduled sessions. Instead, they must be in addition to your previously agreed upon schedule.
e.g., if you have agreed to 2 sessions per week, and must cancel one of those sessions during a billing cycle, you will have to attend 3 sessions in a week during the 60-day window for it to qualify as a “make-up”.
4.4. Session Rescheduling
To reschedule a missed session with proper notice, please contact your trainer as soon as possible to arrange a new session date and time or use our scheduling app to reschedule.
4.5. No-Show Sessions
If you do not attend a scheduled session and do not provide the required 24 hours' notice of cancellation, you will be charged for the session, and it will not be eligible for making up the session. If this occurs more than twice in a month, you will be at risk of losing your spot.
4.6. Emergency situations
In case of unforeseen emergencies or exceptional circumstances, please contact your trainer as soon as possible to discuss your situation. We understand that emergencies can arise, and we will consider them on a case-by-case basis.
4.7. Trainer Availability
Session rescheduling is subject to trainer availability. However, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request for a make-up session.
