BARE Fitness Manila - Terms & Conditions

1) General

These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") apply to your use of BARE Fitness Manila studio, website, app, and services in the Republic of the Philippines ("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 Manila operates in the Republic of the Philippines. 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 applicable Philippine taxes, including VAT if and when applicable.

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 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 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 under Philippine Law. To the fullest extent permitted by the Civil Code of the Philippines, you voluntarily release and hold harmless BARE Fitness Manila, its owners, trainers, and staff from any claims or liability that may arise from your participation, except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct, which cannot be waived under Philippine law.

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, sedatives, 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.
