Customized Coaching Payment Policy

Athletes are automatically charged every 4 weeks via credit card processing through Shopify, starting from their initial registration for coaching services. If a payment is declined, Shopify will attempt to charge the card four more times within a 10-day period. If payment is not received after all attempts, coaching services will be suspended, and your athlete account will be placed on hold. This includes a downgrade of your premium Training Peaks account and a halt on workout reviews or calendar additions until payment is updated.

Delinquent Payments

If payment is not received within 7 days of suspension, coaching services will remain on hold until payment is received. This includes the downgrade of your premium Training Peaks account and a suspension of workout reviews or calendar additions.

1-1 Training Plans

Cancellation requires a notice period of at least two pay periods (8 weeks or 56 days). No refunds will be provided for coaching billed for the upcoming training block beyond the cancellation date. If cancellation occurs within twelve weeks (84 days) of your start date, you will be billed for the remainder of the minimum commitment, unless otherwise agreed upon with your coach.

Coaching Cancellation Policy

To cancel or pause coaching services, athletes must notify their coach at least two pay periods (8 weeks or 56 days) in advance. Failure to provide proper notice will result in the athlete being charged for the upcoming payment cycles. New athletes must complete their minimum contract length, unless otherwise agreed upon with the coach. We do not guarantee any specific results from our coaching services.

Coaching Hold Policy

You may place your account on hold for up to 60 days (two full training blocks) once per calendar year. To do so, communicate your intentions with your coach at least 14 days prior to your planned break. Exceeding this limit or taking multiple breaks will result in resuming billing at the current coaching rate.

Medical/Injury Leave

If you need to place your account on hold due to injury or disability, you may do so for up to one calendar year. Notify your coach via email, and your account will be placed on hold. If your original coach is unavailable upon your return, another qualified coach will be assigned.

Pregnancy, Adoption, and Family Emergencies

We are excited to support milestones in our athletes' lives, such as pregnancy and adoption. Athletes can freeze their coaching services for up to one year for these milestones. If more time is needed, please notify us, and we will extend the hold period. The same policy applies to any family or life emergencies. Just communicate your needs with your coach, and we will adjust accordingly.

Private Training Sessions

No refunds will be given for private sessions unless a mutually agreeable time cannot be arranged.
