Dress Code: You are required to wear appropriate athletic attire and footwear when using any Club equipment and participating in any group fitness class, training session or other activity. bellaTec may deny you use of its Clubs if you do not wear proper attire and footwear, as determined in bellaTec’s discretion. In certain group fitness classes, such as yoga, the instructor may require you to remove footwear for the class as a condition of participation.
Group Fitness Classes: Certain group fitness classes require advance booking and reservation, and you will not be permitted to participate in these classes unless you have properly booked and reserved your spot. You may book one (1) class online per class category. bellaTec may give away your reserved spot if you are not in the class at class start time. If you book online (including through our mobile app), you may cancel a booked class up to three (3) hours before the class starts. If you do not cancel within this allotted time period or check in by the start of class, you will be considered as having “missed” your booked class. If you miss three (3) bookings within a thirty (30) day period, you will be charged a late fee of $13 as a member, which is half the single session fee. And you could be blocked from booking classes online for a period of seven (7) days. Please avoid entering a class late or leaving a class early, as this is disruptive to other members’ experience.
Children: Children who are fifteen (15) years of age are not eligible for membership but may use the Club as a guest if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Children under fifteen (15) years of age are not permitted to use Club facilities, locker rooms and equipment, unless they are participating in children-specific programming offered by bellaTec. You, as a child’s parent or legal guardian, will be required to sign a waiver and release form on behalf of your child before your child may participate in any children’s programming or use the Club as a guest if your child is aged fifteen (15). bellaTec reserves the right to, in its discretion, prohibit any child who is disruptive, unsupervised, sick, or otherwise interfering with the Club’s operations from participating in children’s programming.

For the safety of our members and the animals, pets and “emotional support animals” are not permitted in any area of our Clubs.

Duration: Freezes are for consecutive calendar months. Partial months freezes are not permitted. Up to two (2) months Your membership will automatically revert to active status at the end of the requested Freeze period. Up to six (6) months or, if pregnancy-related, up to nine (9) months Your membership will automatically revert to active status at the end of the requested Freeze period.

Freeze Fees are non-refundable and non cancellable, even if you subsequently elect to reduce the duration of your Non-Medical Freeze. None Billing: Requests during your 12-month initial period: If you pay monthly membership dues, billing of your monthly dues will continue. At the end of your initial period, bellaTec will charge you the Freeze Fee instead of your monthly dues for the number of months equivalent to the duration of the Freeze. For example, if you request a two (2) month Freeze beginning in your 6th month of membership, you will continue to be billed your monthly membership dues during the 6 th and 7th months of membership. In the 13th and 14th months of membership, i.e. after your initial period has ended, billing will be held and you will only be charged for the applicable Freeze Fee before regular monthly billing resumes in month 15. If you have paid for your membership in full, bellaTec will charge you the Freeze Fee at the start of your Non-Medical Freeze and your membership expiration date will be extended to account for the duration of your Freeze.
Requests after your initial period: Billing of monthly dues will be held for the duration of the Non-Medical Freeze. bellaTec will charge you the Freeze Fees at the start of your Non-Medical Freeze. Billing of monthly dues will be held for the duration of the Medical Freeze.

Termination: Termination of your one year contract will be two months of your contract agreement price paid in full. This does not give you access to the club for two extra months. You will be paying to terminate your agreement. Termination will begin immediately after payment has been made.
How to Request a Freeze: All Freezes must be requested as follows. Requests for all Freezes must be made in advance and at least five (5) days before the intended start date. Retroactive Freezes are not permitted. You may request a Freeze by any of the following methods: • In-person at any Club in your membership class. You will be required to complete a Freeze request form. • By emailing bellaTec Concierge at admin@bellaTec.com.

No Use of the Club During Freeze: Members are prohibited from accessing or using any Club while their membership is on a Freeze. If you check-in to any Club while on Freeze, bellaTec reserves the right to revert your membership to active status, without further notice to you, and a prorate of your membership dues will be added to your membership account. Non-Medical Freezes do not Negate the 12-Month Initial Commitment Period or Notice Period for Cancellations: A request for a Non-Medical Freeze during the initial period does not invalidate the twelve (12) month commitment period outlined in the Membership Agreement, nor does it entitle a member to a refund for unused months while on a Freeze during the initial period. Similarly, a Non-Medical Freeze cannot be requested by members who are outside of their initial commitment period to avoid the applicable notice period for membership cancellation.
