Liability Waiver & Terms

1. Assumption of Risk

By enrolling in a coaching program with Threshold and Beyond Coaching ("T&B Coaching"), you acknowledge that distance running and athletic training are physically demanding activities that carry inherent risks of injury, illness, or other adverse health effects.

You voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation in a training program, including but not limited to: muscle strains and sprains, stress fractures, overtraining, cardiovascular exertion, and other physical injury. You confirm that you are physically capable of participating in a running training program and have consulted a licensed physician if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.

2. Release of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby release, waive, and discharge Threshold and Beyond Coaching, its coaches, employees, partners, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, or liability arising from your participation in any training program, workout, or activity recommended by T&B Coaching.

3. Not a Medical Service

Coaching services provided by Threshold and Beyond Coaching are for athletic performance and training purposes only. Nothing provided by T&B Coaching — including training plans, workout recommendations, pacing guidance, or communications — constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You should always consult a licensed physician or medical professional before beginning any new exercise program, particularly if you have a history of injury, illness, or cardiovascular conditions. If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms during training, stop immediately and seek medical attention.

4. Coaching Relationship & Communication

T&B Coaching provides individualized distance running coaching via the Final Surge training platform. Coaches will respond to messages and questions within 24 hours on weekdays. Scheduled check-in calls are available upon request.

You agree to communicate openly with your coach regarding your health, training load, fatigue levels, and any injuries or concerns. Withholding relevant health information may result in training recommendations that are inappropriate for your condition, for which T&B Coaching cannot be held responsible.

5. GPS Watch Requirement

A GPS watch is required for participation in all T&B Coaching programs. Accurate workout data is essential to the coaching process. If you do not currently own a GPS watch, your coach can provide recommendations. T&B Coaching is not responsible for incomplete or inaccurate training data resulting from the absence of appropriate equipment.

6. Subscription, Billing & Cancellation

• Coaching membership is billed monthly at $99.00 USD.
• Subscriptions renew automatically on the same date each month until cancelled.
• You may cancel your subscription at any time with no penalty or cancellation fee.
• Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused days in a billing cycle.
• T&B Coaching reserves the right to adjust pricing with 30 days advance notice to active subscribers.

7. Indoor Track Program (If Applicable)

This section applies only if you enroll in the Indoor Track program. Where it conflicts with Sections 4, 5, or 6, this section controls for Indoor Track.

• Program. Indoor Track includes 23 sessions at Spire from November 30, 2026 through March 3, 2027, held from 6:30–8:30 PM on the dates listed on the T&B Coaching website. Dates and times may change due to facility availability, weather, or closures. T&B Coaching will notify participants of any changes and make reasonable efforts to reschedule.

• No refunds. All Indoor Track payments are final and non-refundable, including in the event of withdrawal, injury, illness, schedule conflicts, or removal from the program under the Code of Conduct.
• Missed sessions. You may attend any session included in your option that you are able to make; attendance is flexible. Mondays Only participants are enrolled in the Monday sessions only and are not enrolled in midweek sessions. However, T&B Coaching is obligated to pay Spire for all scheduled sessions regardless of attendance. Missed sessions remain owed and are not refunded, credited, prorated, or made up.
• No transfers. The Indoor Track fee is non-transferable to another person, program, or season.
• Training groups. Athletes are placed in training groups by ability level. Coaches may assign or change groups and modify workouts at their discretion for safety and training purposes.
• Facility rules. You agree to follow all rules, policies, and staff instructions of Spire. You participate in activities at the facility at your own risk, and the release in Section 2 extends to Spire and its owners, operators, and staff.
• Minors. If a minor is enrolled, the parent or legal guardian is responsible for the minor's transportation to and from sessions and for ensuring the minor follows facility rules.

8. Photo & Media Release

You grant Threshold and Beyond Coaching permission to use photographs, videos, or testimonials you voluntarily share for promotional purposes on social media, the T&B Coaching website, or other marketing materials. You may opt out of this at any time by notifying your coach in writing. We will never use images of minors without explicit written consent from a parent or legal guardian.

9. Code of Conduct

T&B Coaching is committed to a positive, respectful coaching environment. You agree to treat your coach and any training partners with respect. T&B Coaching reserves the right to terminate a coaching relationship without refund if a participant engages in abusive, threatening, or disrespectful behavior.
