Rules and Policies of the Gym
All members agree to learn and abide by all the rules and policies set by ISD Gym and that may change from time to time.
ADITIONAL DISCLOSURES
ISD Gym has strenuous and high intensity exercise equipment. You should consider whether this style of exercise is suitable for you. Risks of undertaking such exercise include, but not limited to Rhabdomyolysis — a dangerous condition that results in the death of muscle cells from stress that may be attributed to intensive exercise which overwhelms the body and impairs kidney functions. All members must complete introductory training sessions that direct and guide them through proper exercise movements that are required to safely undertake our strength and conditioning exercises.
ISD Gym is an ‘Open Gym’ and may set aside times where the Gym operates in an open format for members to familiarise themselves with the gym’s equipment, improve exercise technique, or undertake independent unsupervised training. ISD Gym is committed to training excellence and reserves the right to change.
General Terms & Conditions of Membership
All membership contributions and schedules are subject to change. Membership contributions are payable monthly in advance and can be paid either by direct deposit into our nominated bank account, or by credit card facility.
General Memberships are monthly based, a discount applies to memberships prepaid for periods exceeding six months. ISD Gym memberships are cancellable by providing 30 days’ notice. Memberships paid beyond the notice period are refundable, subject to the deduction of an administration contribution. ISD Gym is not responsible for timing or late cancellation of direct debit arrangements.
Persons who undertake personal training sessions who do not have an active and current general membership are not permitted to participate in group classes and open- gym sessions. If the event a nominated or preferred trainer is unavailable, ISD Gym administrator can at its discretion substitute another trainer to undertake the personal training session.
Members are responsible for their access card. Shared gym access with a non-member will result in forfeiture of membership effective immediately. Replacement access cards will incur a contribution.
General membership of the gym is generally not available to children under the age of 14 years.
Security Cameras ISD Gym has CCTV security cameras recording, in most cases, 24 hours a day (except in bathrooms) and may hate; remote video or other guarding services. This system is used for security purposes but does not guarantee against harm. You should contact to Gym Manager if you have questions on this.
Dress and Conduct
All members should dress appropriately. This includes the wearing of a shirt and the use of a towel. No open toed shoes, sandals or thongs are allowed in the exercise area during training times or “open gym” times. ISD Gym is committed to the health, safety and welfare of each of its members and staff and will not tolerate unreasonable, threatening, obscene, harassing, indecent or illegal behaviour. ISD Gym may, at its discretion, request members and/or their guests to leave the premises. ISD Gym, in addition to its common law rights and remedies, also reserves the right to terminate the membership of any member engaging in unacceptable behaviour. Members are liable for damages to ISD Gym property that results from the wilful or negligent conduct of a member, a member’s guest or dependent children.
Fob Key Access
Fob key access will be given for 30 days. Once the period is expired, the members need to extend the fob key for another 30 days with ISD IT Team. Membership subscription payment must be cleared before the extension of the fob key. Holding the fob key means you are continuing the gym subscriptions and you need to pay the monthly subscription. If you decided not to continue the gym, please handover the fob key to the authority (propertymanager@isod.com.au & finance@isod.com.au) to officially cancel your ISD gym subscription. The Fob key is the property of ISD. ISD will retain the fob key at any point of time. There is a charge if the fob key is lost or stolen.
Lost Articles and Damage to Member’s Property
ISD Gym is not responsible for lost or stolen articles or damage to articles. All articles are stored at member’s risk and the Gym discourages members from bringing valuable articles to the gym.
Consent and release for use of Photographic and Video Images
All members, unless specifically requesting not to do so in writing, authorise ISD Gym Management from time to time, without further notice or permission and without payment of any kind to photograph, videotape, and audiotape them for advertising, promotional or instructional purposes.
Late Attendance to Classes
All members should arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the commencement of all classes (As and when scheduled). As all our classes are important and fast paced, it is unfair to other members to have their workouts disrupted by late attendees. ISD Gym reserves the right to refuse participation in a class for late attendance.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
ISD Gym highly values and respects your privacy. We have the option to communicate with you by email and SMS. We will never release or sell your private information.
