Lifestyle Membership Terms
Effective Date: 5 August 2026
Welcome
Welcome to the Empower Lifestyle Membership.
The Lifestyle Membership is designed to provide ongoing coaching, accountability, education and support to help you become stronger in body, mind and purpose. Unlike our fixed-term programmes, the Lifestyle Membership evolves with your goals, ensuring your coaching remains personalised as your journey progresses.
By joining the Empower Lifestyle Membership, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Eligibility
The Lifestyle Membership is available to:
- Existing Empower clients who have completed one or more Empower programmes.
- New members beginning their journey with Empower Fitness.
Preferred pricing may be offered to existing Empower clients at the sole discretion of Empower Fitness.
2. Membership Includes
Depending on your coaching needs, your membership may include:
- Personalised training programme
- Personalised nutrition guidance
- Weekly accountability check-ins
- Monthly coaching calls
- Access to the Empower Telegram community
- Ongoing coaching support
- Educational resources
- Progress reviews
- Programme updates based on your goals and progress
Empower Fitness continually improves its coaching experience and reserves the right to enhance, modify or expand membership features over time.
3. Personalised Coaching
Every member receives coaching based on their individual goals, lifestyle, training experience and progress.
No two coaching journeys are identical.
Programme recommendations may differ between members, even when goals appear similar, as coaching decisions are based on professional judgement and each individual's unique circumstances.
Examples of personalised coaching include:
- Transitioning from fat loss to muscle building
- Preparing for a wedding or special event
- HYROX-specific programming
- Strength-focused programming
- Lifestyle adjustments
- Nutrition modifications
- Goal-specific programming
4. Programme Adjustments
Your membership includes one major personalised programme adjustment per billing cycle.
Examples include:
- Updating your workout programme
- Revising nutrition targets
- Changing training goals
- Moving between Empower programmes
- Introducing sport-specific training
Minor coaching advice, exercise substitutions, technique guidance and routine support do not count as a programme adjustment.
Additional programme revisions may be completed at Empower Fitness's discretion and may incur an additional coaching fee.
5. Weekly Check-ins
Members are expected to complete their weekly check-ins honestly and on time.
These check-ins allow your coach to:
- Monitor progress
- Review adherence
- Identify challenges
- Provide personalised feedback
- Make informed coaching decisions
Failure to submit regular check-ins may limit the level of personalised coaching that can be provided.
6. Communication
Support is provided through approved Empower Fitness communication channels, including:
- Telegram
- Scheduled coaching calls
- Email (where applicable)
Empower Fitness aims to respond within 1–2 business days, excluding weekends, public holidays and periods where response delays have been communicated in advance.
7. Member Responsibilities
To receive the greatest benefit from coaching, members agree to:
- Communicate honestly
- Follow coaching guidance to the best of their ability
- Complete weekly check-ins
- Treat the coaching team and community respectfully
- Notify Empower Fitness of any significant health changes, injuries or medical conditions that may affect training or nutrition
Members are responsible for providing accurate and complete information throughout the coaching relationship.
Empower Fitness cannot accept responsibility for coaching outcomes resulting from inaccurate, incomplete or withheld information.
8. Membership Fees
Membership fees are payable according to the pricing selected at the time of joining.
Current pricing may differ for:
- New Members
- Empower Graduates
Empower Fitness reserves the right to update membership pricing in the future.
Existing members will receive reasonable notice before any pricing changes take effect.
9. Membership Renewals
The Lifestyle Membership is intended to operate as an ongoing monthly coaching service.
Where automatic recurring billing is available, membership will renew automatically unless cancelled before the next billing date.
Where automatic billing is not yet available, members are responsible for renewing their membership before the start of the next billing cycle to maintain uninterrupted coaching and community access.
10. Cancellation
Members may cancel their membership at any time.
Cancellation requests should be submitted before the next billing date.
Membership benefits remain active until the end of the current paid billing period.
No partial refunds or credits are provided for unused coaching time.
11. Refund Policy
Empower Fitness is committed to providing a high-quality coaching experience. Due to the personalised nature of our services and the immediate access provided to proprietary coaching resources, refund eligibility is limited.
Refunds will generally not be available once any of the following has occurred:
- Access to digital coaching materials has been provided.
- Access to the Empower Telegram community has been granted.
- A personalised training programme or nutrition plan has been created or prepared.
- Coaching work has commenced on your behalf.
- Educational resources, videos, guides or other digital materials have been made available.
- Any portion of the coaching service has been delivered.
This policy exists because coaching materials contain proprietary intellectual property developed by Empower Fitness, and personalised coaching requires significant professional time and preparation that cannot be recovered once work has begun.
Refund requests submitted before coaching work has commenced and before access to any digital materials has been provided may be considered at the sole discretion of Empower Fitness.
Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
12. Telegram Community
Membership includes access to the Empower Telegram community.
Community access is provided exclusively to active paying members.
Empower Fitness reserves the right to remove members from the community for behaviour including, but not limited to:
- Harassment
- Bullying
- Discrimination
- Abuse
- Sharing inappropriate content
- Disruptive behaviour
- Breaching these Terms
Removal from the community does not entitle a member to a refund.
13. Coach's Professional Judgement
Empower Fitness reserves the right to recommend adjustments to training programmes, nutrition strategies and coaching plans based on professional coaching judgement.
Recommendations are made with the intention of supporting safe, sustainable and long-term progress.
Members acknowledge that coaching recommendations may change as their goals, lifestyle and progress evolve.
14. Results Disclaimer
Every individual responds differently to coaching.
Results depend on numerous factors including:
- Consistency
- Nutrition
- Training adherence
- Sleep
- Recovery
- Stress
- Lifestyle
- Medical conditions
- Individual physiology
For this reason, Empower Fitness cannot guarantee specific weight loss, muscle gain, performance improvements or health outcomes.

It does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
