99 Membership Agreement & Payment Terms This Membership Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between 99 Barbell Fitness LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Gym”), and the undersigned individual (the “Member,” “you,” or “your”). The Gym operates a private, self-access fitness facility located at 36 W Live Oak Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007 (the “Facility”).
1. Membership and Payment Terms 1.1 Membership.
Your membership is activated upon execution of this Agreement and payment of the required fees. Memberships are personal, non-transferable, and non-assignable. Your membership entitles you to use the Facility in accordance with this Agreement and all posted Gym Rules. Memberships may be paid in either (a) a single prepaid term (semi-annual or annual), or (b) monthly installments.
1.2 Payment Terms.
You authorize the Gym, through its designated billing processor, to automatically charge your credit/debit card or bank account each month on your billing date until you cancel pursuant to this Agreement. It is your responsibility to maintain a valid payment method and update expired or lost cards promptly. Payments not received within three (3) days of the due date may result in suspension of access. Returned payments or chargebacks will incur a $25 administrative fee, and you waive the right to dispute legitimate charges made under this Agreement. The Gym reserves the right to adjust membership rates on an annual basis, with no less than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice by email or mail.
1.3 Cancellation by Member.
You may rescind this Agreement before midnight of the fifth (5th) business day after signing (excluding Sundays and holidays) by written notice to the Gym at the address above or by email from the address on file to info@99barbell.com. The Gym will refund all funds paid within ten (10) business days of receipt. After the rescission period, you may cancel at any time with fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice by email or text to the contacts above. Cancellation becomes effective after the next billing date, provided all dues are current. Written confirmation of cancellation will be issued.
1.4 Cancellation by Gym.
The Gym reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership for non-payment, breach of Gym Rules, unsafe conduct, or misrepresentation. Termination does not relieve you of financial obligations accrued prior to termination.
1.5 Freeze Policy.
Members in good standing may freeze membership before the next billing date. Retroactive freezes are not permitted. A written freeze request must be submitted either by email (from the Member’s registered email address) to info@99barbell.com, or by delivering a signed written notice to the Gym at the address listed above. – Month-to-Month, Annual, or Semi-Annual memberships may be frozen in one-month increments for a $5 monthly fee.
– Training memberships and short-term passes are not eligible for freeze.
1.6 Member Access.
Members are granted entry to the Facility through an automated door system using their unique personal barcode or access credential. Access credentials are non-transferable and must not be shared or used to admit others under any circumstance. Unauthorized entry, tailgating, or granting access to another individual constitutes a serious violation of Gym policy and will result in immediate membership termination without refund and may subject the Member to civil or criminal liability.
The Gym employs a security “Tailgate” monitoring system that records all entry activity for safety and compliance purposes. Members are responsible for safeguarding their access credentials and must promptly notify the Gym of any lost or compromised access information. Guests must be registered in advance and purchase an appropriate day pass prior to entry. It is the Member’s responsibility to ensure all guests are properly registered and have completed the required waiver before accessing the Facility.
2. Facility Operation and Member Responsibilities
2.1 Hours of Operation.
The Facility operates as a self-access gym and is generally unstaffed. Members may access the Facility during the following hours: Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Staff may be on-site intermittently or at random times but are not regularly present. The Gym may close temporarily for maintenance, holidays, events, or government orders without liability or refund obligation.
2.2 Limited Use.
If you are aware—or should reasonably be aware—of any circumstance that may prevent you from using the Gym (including, but not limited to, medical issues, family emergencies, business travel, or vacations), you acknowledge that your membership remains active and payable. Because membership dues secure ongoing access rather than guaranteed attendance, no credit, refund, or extension will be provided for periods of non-use. Please refer to the Freeze Policy and Cancellation Policy for available options. 2.3 No Supervision and Assumption of Risk.
You acknowledge that the Facility may be unstaffed during your use and that emergency response may not be immediately available. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with use of the Facility during staffed or unstaffed hours, including risks of injury, illness, property damage, or death.
2.4 Valuables.
You are advised not to bring valuables to the Facility. The Gym is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal property.
2.5 Member Conduct and Rules.
Members must maintain a clean, safe, and respectful environment: wear proper attire (no shirtless training), re-rack weights, wipe down equipment after use, and avoid disruptive or unsafe behavior. Alcohol, smoking, vaping, and illegal substances are prohibited. The Gym may amend rules as necessary for safety and operations.
2.6 Damages.
Members shall be held responsible for any damage, loss, or destruction to 99 Barbell Fitness LLC property, equipment, or facilities resulting from their own willful misconduct, negligence, or that of their guests. All injuries, incidents, or damage to equipment or property must be reported to Gym management immediately upon discovery.
3. Personal Training and Additional Services
3.1 Personal Training.
The Gym offers personal-training services through employees or authorized contractors. All sessions must be scheduled and paid through the Gym. Outside trainers are prohibited without written approval. Training sessions must be used within ninety (90) days of purchase unless otherwise agreed in writing; unused or expired sessions are forfeited and non-refundable. The Gym and its trainers make no guarantee of specific results, and you release them from liability for ordinary negligence in training design or instruction.
3.2 Independent Healthcare Providers.
Certain healthcare services offered within or adjacent to the Facility are provided by Integrative Therapy Institute (Ititherapy), an independent business entity owned and operated by licensed practitioners who are not employees, agents, or partners of the Gym. Ititherapy maintains its own clinical policies, professional licenses, and liability coverage. The Gym does not supervise or control the professional judgment, diagnosis, or treatment decisions of any Ititherapy provider and assumes no responsibility for their services or outcomes. Members receiving such services do so under a separate agreement with Ititherapy.

These risks include, but are not limited to: falls that may result in serious injury or death; injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or others around me; injury or death resulting from improper use or failure of equipment; and strains or sprains. I understand that any of these risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and/or my partner(s).

I understand that I am responsible for maintaining my own health-insurance coverage.
I further acknowledge that there may be animal(s) present in the facility and I waive all rights to any claims, liabilities, or causes of action that may arise due to the presence of animals in the gym, including but not limited to allergic reactions, aggressive behavior, or any other incidents that may occur as a result of animals being on the premises.
This Release applies to all activities conducted at the Facility or any off-site Gym-sponsored events and is intended to be interpreted as broadly as permitted by California law. If any provision of this Release is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Indemnification

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless 99 Barbell Fitness LLC, its principals, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all liability for the injury or death of any person(s), and for any damage to property, that may result from my negligent or intentional act or omission while participating in activities offered by 99 Barbell Fitness LLC, whether at the main facility or off-site.
