Independent Trainer Contract

Independent Trainer Contract

I, ___________________________(“Independent Trainer”), am entering into this this contract with Chi Bang Bodies, LLC DBA CLIENTEL3, located at 364 Boylston Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02116 (“CLIENTEL3”) on my own free will. In signing this contract, I agree to all of the following terms and conditions.

24 Hour Booking Policy

I agree to book my appointments on my own, 24 hours or more prior to my requested personal training appointment. In the event that an appointment is requested within the 24-hour window, a surcharge of $5.00 will be added to that training session in order for a CLIENTEL3 staff member to assist in the scheduling of the late appointment. If there is a software issue and requires assistance from CLIENTEL3 staff, there will be no additional cost to book the appointment. 

Late Cancellations

Any sessions that are canceled within 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment will be considered a Late Cancellation. Late canceled appointments will be billed at the set rates indicated in this contract and all monetary value will be forfeited. If a client or contractor cancels within the 24-hour cancellation window due to illness, a doctor’s note must be submitted for review within 7 days of the canceled session in order to avoid the late cancellation fee. If no note is submitted, the session will be deemed a late cancellation and all rules and charges will be applied. CLIENTEL3 reserves the right to not accept the doctor’s note if upon further inspection that it is deemed not a permissible form of documentation for any reason at all.

Liability Insurance

All Independent trainers are required to hold a current liability insurance policy and submit a copy of their policy to CLIENTEL3. Independent trainers assume all risks and take full responsibility for any persons and clients they invite into CLIENTEL3 and indemnify CLIENTEL3 from any liability. Independent trainers should have their own release of liability agreement with their customers. Customers of the independent trainer will be covered under the liability insurance of the independent trainer and release CLIENTEL3 from all liability. In the event that personal liability coverage has lapsed, the independent trainer has 3 days to provide proof of a current liability policy. If a current liability policy is not submitted, the independent trainer cannot book any appointments and will be suspended from CLIENTEL3. Accepted forms of copies are through email to [email protected] or a hard copy to CLIENTEL3

Certifications

Independent Trainers must hold at least one nationally accredited certification that demonstrates their knowledge of the necessary material to fulfill their responsibility as a fitness professional and must submit a copy of this certification to CLIENTEL3. Independent trainers must obtain and hold a current First Aid and CPR certification. All copies of certifications must be submitted and filed. Accepted forms of copies are through email to [email protected] or a hard copy to CLIENTEL3.

Payment and Pricing

In the event that CLIENTEL3 cannot bill for outstanding services due to credit card issues, there will be no fee for the first incident in any calendar month (1st day of the month to and including the last day of the month), not to exceed 31 days. Any additional failed billing incidents will accrue a late fee of $10.00 per day until the outstanding balance is reconciled and brought up to date.
