Access to Hart House Fitness Centre Facilities:
All members must present a valid U of T student card, or Hart House Fitness Centre membership card at the Fitness Information Desk upon entry. For the safety and security of all our members, we enforce a “no card, no entry” policy. Kindly present your membership card at each visit to limit disappointment. Members are required to wear athletic attire and footwear. Please lock all personal belongings, including outerwear and bags in a day locker or your rented locker before proceeding to exercise areas within the facility.
Locker Rental Terms:
Locker rentals are non-refundable and expire at the end of your rental agreement or when your membership expires or is cancelled, whichever comes first. Your locker may be renewed with your membership renewal. If you wish to not renew your locker, all locker contents must be removed by the end of your locker agreement. Belongings left in the locker past the locker agreement date will be removed and bagged for your retrieval by a member of our staff. Your belongings will be held for two-weeks following the end of your locker agreement. To retrieve your bagged items during this time, a $25.00 locker clear out fee will apply. Items that have not been retrieved after the two-week holding period will be donated.
Personal Training Policy:
A 24-hr cancellation policy is in place on all training sessions that have been confirmed by the trainer and client in advance. If a client does not show up (“no-show”) for a scheduled session, or if a session is cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours of a scheduled training session, then the client forfeits the session, and the session will not be eligible for refund. All training sessions expire 6-months following the date of purchase. Sessions remaining following the expiration date are non-refundable and considered redeemed.
Unauthorized Instruction or Personal Training:
Personal training is conducted exclusively by Hart House personal training staff. Members are not permitted to conduct or solicit for personal training within Hart House. Groups may not conduct, for profit or otherwise, classes which duplicate regular Hart House programming.
