• Provide accurate information when registering or booking a session.
• Treat coaches, staff, members, visitors and other participants with respect.
• Take reasonable responsibility for your own safety and wellbeing while training.

The gym reserves the right to update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Where material changes are made, the updated version will be published on this website or otherwise communicated to members where appropriate.

Classes & Training

The Real Boxing Gym provides boxing, fitness, conditioning and related training sessions for members and other participants.

Classes may involve physically demanding activities including, but not limited to:

• Boxing technique and combinations
• Pad work
• Bag work
• Footwork and movement
• Conditioning
• Strength and fitness exercises
• Partner drills
• Controlled sparring where appropriate
• Other boxing-related training activities

The type, intensity and availability of training may vary depending on the class, coach, participant experience and other circumstances.

Coaches may modify, restrict or discontinue an exercise or activity where they reasonably consider it necessary for safety, training suitability or the proper operation of the class.

Free Trial Sessions

The gym may offer prospective members the opportunity to attend a free introductory class.

Submitting a free-class booking request does not automatically guarantee a place in the requested session.

The requested date is treated as a preferred date only. A booking is confirmed only once The Real Boxing Gym has contacted the participant and confirmed the session.

The gym may contact the participant using the contact details supplied during the booking process, including WhatsApp, telephone or email.

Participants should not attend a requested session unless the gym has confirmed the booking.

The gym may reasonably reschedule or decline a trial session where circumstances, capacity, safety or other operational considerations require it.

Health, Fitness & Medical Disclosure

Participants are responsible for informing The Real Boxing Gym of any medical condition, injury, physical limitation or other circumstance that may affect their ability to safely participate in physical exercise.

This may include, where relevant:

• Existing injuries
• Recent surgery or medical treatment
• Cardiovascular conditions
• Respiratory conditions
• Musculoskeletal conditions
• Conditions affecting balance or coordination
• Allergies
• Medication that may affect exercise or physical performance
• Any other condition that may reasonably affect participation

If you are unsure whether you are physically able to participate in boxing or strenuous exercise, you should obtain appropriate medical advice before training.

The gym may request additional information, medical clearance or other reasonable confirmation before permitting participation where there is a legitimate safety concern.

Participants must immediately inform a coach or staff member if they experience pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, unusual discomfort or any other concerning symptoms during training.

The gym does not provide medical advice or diagnosis.

Risks of Boxing & Physical Training

Boxing and physical training are activities that involve inherent risks.

Depending on the activity, these risks may include muscle soreness, strains, sprains, bruising, falls, accidental contact, impact-related injuries and other forms of physical injury.

Some activities, including partner drills and sparring, involve a greater level of physical risk and will only be conducted where considered appropriate by the gym and its coaches.

Participants acknowledge that physical activity carries risks that cannot always be completely eliminated even when reasonable precautions and appropriate training practices are followed.

Participants are expected to follow coaching instructions, use appropriate protective equipment where required and conduct themselves responsibly during training.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude liability or limit a consumer's rights where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by applicable South African law.

Safety & Gym Rules

All participants must follow reasonable safety instructions given by coaches and gym staff.

Participants must:

• Follow coach instructions during training.
• Use equipment responsibly.
• Wear suitable clothing and appropriate training footwear.
• Use required protective equipment where instructed.
• Avoid deliberately dangerous or reckless behaviour.
• Inform a coach of damaged or unsafe equipment.
• Respect training partners and other members.

The gym may require a participant to stop an activity or leave a training area where their behaviour creates a safety risk or materially disrupts the class.

Serious or repeated misconduct may result in suspension or termination of gym access, subject to applicable law and any contractual rights the member may have.

Sparring & Contact Training

Sparring and other contact-based activities are not automatically suitable for every participant.

A coach may determine whether a participant is ready to participate in sparring based on factors including experience, fitness, technical ability, behaviour and the nature of the session.

Participants must follow the coach's instructions regarding intensity, protective equipment, partners and conduct.

Participants must immediately stop and inform the coach if they believe a training activity is unsafe or if they experience an injury or concerning symptoms.

The gym may restrict or prohibit sparring where it considers this reasonably necessary for the safety of the participant or others.

Children & Participants Under 18

Participants under the age of 18 may be subject to additional registration, supervision and consent requirements.

Where required, a parent or legal guardian must provide the necessary consent before a minor participates in training.

Parents and guardians are responsible for providing accurate information concerning the minor's health, medical conditions, injuries and other circumstances relevant to safe participation.

The gym may impose additional requirements for younger participants, including age-specific classes, supervision arrangements, training restrictions or parental involvement.

The gym reserves the right to refuse or restrict participation where it reasonably considers this necessary for the health, safety or wellbeing of a minor.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to override any legal protection afforded to children under South African law.

Memberships & Payments

Membership options, prices, class allocations and payment arrangements may vary depending on the membership selected.

Current membership pricing and class information will be communicated by the gym and/or displayed on the website where applicable.

Members are responsible for ensuring that membership fees are paid according to the payment arrangement agreed with the gym.

The gym may update its membership options, pricing or class schedules from time to time. Where changes affect an existing membership or contractual arrangement, the gym will provide any notice required by applicable law or the applicable agreement.

Specific membership cancellation, suspension, refund and notice provisions may be set out in the member's registration or membership agreement.

Where such an agreement exists, its specific provisions will apply together with these Terms & Conditions to the extent permitted by law.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Class availability and schedules may change due to circumstances including coach availability, events, maintenance, public holidays or other operational requirements.

The gym will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant schedule changes to affected participants.

Specific cancellation, rescheduling or membership notice periods may be communicated separately by the gym and may form part of the applicable membership agreement.

Gym Property & Personal Belongings

Participants are expected to take reasonable care of their personal belongings while using the gym.

The gym is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal property except to the extent that responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

The gym will take particular care when dealing with images or recordings involving children and will obtain appropriate consent before using identifiable images of minors for promotional purposes.
