BARE Fitness — Terms & Conditions

1) General

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of BARE Fitness’s studio, website, app, and services in the United Arab Emirates (“BARE”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). By purchasing or using any BARE service, membership, or class, you agree to these Terms and to follow our Club Rules.

BARE Fitness is registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We may update these Terms from time to time; any changes will be posted here. Continued use of our services means you accept the updated Terms.

All prices include VAT.

2) Limited Liability & Health Waiver

Acknowledgement of Risk. Our workouts are designed to challenge and inspire you. Like all physical activity, exercise carries some inherent risks, such as muscle soreness, strain, or—rarely—injury or illness. By taking part in any BARE class, event, or activity—inside or outside our facilities—you confirm that you understand and accept these normal risks as part of participating in training.

Personal Responsibility. You take full responsibility for your own health and fitness to exercise. You understand that BARE’s coaches are not medical professionals and that any information or guidance provided is for general fitness purposes only. You have chosen to take part voluntarily and will listen to your body, rest when needed, and let the team know if you experience discomfort.

Waiver & Release. To the fullest extent permitted by UAE law, you voluntarily release and hold harmless BARE Fitness, its owners, trainers, and staff from any claims or liability that may arise from your participation—including those due to ordinary negligence. This waiver follows the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and any issues will be handled locally in Dubai (Dubai Courts).

Prohibited Participation (Safety First). Participation is strictly prohibited if you are under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, illegal drugs, or medication that may impair your ability to exercise safely (including tranquilizers, beta-blockers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants). If you have any medical concerns, consult a qualified doctor before attending classes.

How You Agree. By purchasing, booking, or attending BARE services, you agree to this waiver. We may also ask you to sign a separate copy (physically or electronically) for our records.

3) Class Bookings & Cancellations

• All classes must be pre-booked using our website, app, or front desk.
• Classes may be cancelled or rescheduled up to 12 hours before start time via our online system.
• Late cancellations or no-shows will result in a forfeited class credit or a flat fee for members.
• Arrive at least 10 minutes early.
• Entry closes at class start time; if you arrive late, you may still join after the current workout section has ended. Please wait quietly until a team member confirms it is safe to enter.
• You must be physically checked in at least 2 minutes before class, or your space may be given to a waitlisted client.
• Class spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Waitlist enrolment is automatic; if a spot opens, you will be added and notified.
• Class timetables, instructors, and formats may change without notice.
• BARE is not responsible for missed classes due to parking availability or traffic delays.

If you are recovering from an injury or illness, inform your instructor before class begins.

4) Membership Terms

• Memberships are personal, non-transferable, and non-refundable (except where required by law).
• Unless otherwise stated, memberships auto-renew monthly until cancelled.
• To cancel, email members@bare.fitness at least one working day before your next billing date.
• Failure to cancel before renewal means your next payment will be processed automatically.
• Membership fees must be paid via Stripe using a valid card.
• Not using the facility does not pause or eliminate your payment obligation.
• We may adjust membership prices with 30 days’ written notice.
• Memberships may be frozen for 2 weeks to 2 months by emailing members@bare.fitness at least one week before the requested freeze start date (maximum twice per year).
• We may suspend or terminate a membership immediately if you breach these Terms or our Club Rules.

5) Class Packs

• Class packs and credits are non-transferable and non-refundable (except where legally required).
• Each pack displays its expiry date at purchase; unused credits after expiry are forfeited.
• Class packs do not guarantee space in a specific class.
• Waitlist and booking rules apply equally to all users.

6) Temporary Closures & Schedule Changes

We reserve the right to modify timetables, instructors, or class types without notice. If BARE temporarily closes due to maintenance, public holidays, or circumstances beyond our control, we will provide extensions or credits for affected memberships or class packs, but no cash refunds.

7) Conduct & Behaviour

We want BARE to remain a safe, positive environment for all. You must:

• Behave respectfully toward all clients and staff.
• Not engage in harassment, intimidation, or disruptive behaviour.
• Follow all safety instructions and staff guidance.
• Keep phones silent and do not use them during class.
• Wear clean, suitable workout attire and footwear.

We may refuse entry, suspend, or terminate your membership if your behaviour endangers others or seriously disrupts the studio. Refunds are not provided in such cases.

Complaints should be sent privately to info@bare.fitness or discussed with a manager on site.

8) Photography & Media

• BARE may occasionally capture photos or videos in the studio for promotional use.
• By attending classes, you consent to incidental inclusion in such content.
• If you do not wish to appear in any images, notify a staff member during the same visit, and we will ensure the content is deleted.
• Clients may take personal photos or short videos before or after class but must not record others without their consent or disrupt sessions.

9) Hygiene & Safety

• Please attend classes showered and in clean workout clothing.
• BARE reserves the right to address hygiene issues that affect others’ comfort.
• Participation is at your own risk—consult a doctor before starting any new exercise program.
• BARE is not responsible for injuries, illnesses, or damages sustained during or after training.

10) Lockers & Personal Belongings

• Lockers are available while you are on the premises and subject to availability.
• BARE is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to your personal property.
• Clear your locker after each visit.
• Unclaimed items will be held at reception for 30 days, after which they may be disposed of without notice or compensation.

11) Children & Minors

• Children aged 13–15 may train only if accompanied by a registered parent or guardian.
• Children under 13 are not permitted to use the facility or participate in regular classes.

12) Refunds & Force Majeure

Payments are non-refundable, except:

• Where required by UAE consumer law, or
• If BARE cannot deliver services due to force majeure (events beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disasters or government restrictions).

In such cases, we may offer credits or extensions instead of cash refunds.

13) Liability

You understand that exercise involves inherent risks. By participating, you waive any claim against BARE Fitness, its staff, or instructors for injury, illness, loss, or damage unless caused by our proven gross negligence. BARE’s total liability, if any, will be limited to the value of the affected membership or class pack.

14) Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim related to them are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and any proceedings shall take place in the Dubai Courts.
