FitHub YYC Free Trial Policy

Eligibility Requirements

Geographic Eligibility

All free trial participants must be current residents of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This requirement ensures that our free trial program serves our local community and potential long-term members. Proof of Calgary residency may be requested at the time of your visit, including but not limited to a valid Alberta driver's license, utility bill, or lease agreement showing a Calgary address.

Age Requirement

Participants must be 18 years of age or older to be eligible for a free trial. Valid government-issued photo identification will be required upon arrival to verify age and identity. Minors (under 18) are not eligible for free trials and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who holds a valid membership.

Previous Membership Status

Free trials are exclusively available to individuals who have never held a membership at YYC FitHub. This includes any type of membership (monthly, annual, day passes, etc.) at any point in the past. Former members, regardless of how long ago their membership ended, are not eligible for free trials.

Visitor Restrictions

Free trials are not available to individuals visiting Calgary temporarily or those who do not intend to establish ongoing membership. This includes tourists, business travelers, or individuals visiting from other cities. The free trial program is designed to introduce potential long-term members to our facility and community.

Reservation and Vetting Rights

YYC FitHub reserves the absolute right to review, vet, and approve or deny any free trial registration at our sole discretion. Factors that may result in denial include but are not limited to:

  • Incomplete or inaccurate information provided during registration
  • Failure to meet any eligibility requirements
  • Previous violations of gym policies or inappropriate behavior
  • Suspicious activity or potential abuse of the free trial system
  • Capacity limitations or scheduling conflicts

Abuse Prevention Measures

One Trial Per Person Lifetime Policy

Each individual is entitled to exactly one free trial in their lifetime. Attempts to circumvent this policy through any means will result in permanent ineligibility for free trials and potential membership restrictions.

Identity Verification

Valid government-issued photo identification is required for all free trial participants. The name on the identification must match the name used during registration. Fake, altered, or borrowed identification will result in immediate denial of service and potential legal action.

Digital Data

Our system tracks multiple data points to prevent abuse, including:

  • Email addresses (each email can only be used once)
  • Phone numbers (each phone number can only be used once)
  • IP addresses
  • Credit card or payment method information (if provided)

Multiple Registration Prevention

The following activities are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification:

  • Creating multiple accounts with different email addresses
  • Using family members' or friends' information to obtain additional trials
  • Providing false personal information
  • Using temporary or disposable email addresses
  • Coordinating with others to abuse the system

Address and Household Verification

Only one free trial per household address is permitted within a 12-month period. This prevents individuals from using family members' information to obtain multiple trials.
