Terms and Conditions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Payments & Rates
1. When do I need to make a payment?
Payment must be made in advance according to the agreed rate and within the payment term specified on the invoice.
2. What happens if I don't pay on time?
If a payment is not made on time, you will first receive a reminder free of charge. If no payment is made after this reminder, a small fee will be charged to cover administrative costs. If no payment follows this, you will receive a second reminder. You will then receive a final reminder by email, giving you 14 days to respond and pay. If no payment is received after this period, we will involve a collection agency, and statutory interest and extrajudicial costs may be charged. In case of non-payment, the agreement may also be suspended.
3. How does the 1-month cancellation notice work?
Let’s say your subscription starts on January 1st and runs for 4 weeks until January 29th. If you decide to cancel your subscription on January 5th, the 1-month cancellation notice is calculated from the date of cancellation, meaning your notice period ends on February 5th.
Since the new 4-week subscription period starts on January 29th (and runs until February 26th), your subscription will continue until February 26th. This is because the system works on a rolling 4-week period, and the cancellation notice aligns with the next full subscription period.
In summary:
Your subscription starts on January 1st and ends on January 29th.
If you cancel on January 5th, the notice period will run until February 5th.
However, your subscription will continue until February 26th, because the new subscription period begins on January 29th.
4. Can the gym increase my rate during the contract?
Yes, under certain circumstances, the rate may be increased, such as:
A change in VAT rates (e.g., from 9% to 21%)
Extreme inflation or rising costs
In such cases, you will be notified in writing at least 30 days in advance. The increase will always be proportional and reasonable.
5. When can Total Strength adjust the VAT on my subscription?
If the government changes the VAT rate, we will adjust your subscription to reflect the new rate. This applies even if you have an ongoing contract. You will be informed in advance.
Subscriptions & Contracts
6. What happens to my annual subscription after 12 months?
After the first 12 months, your subscription will automatically be converted to a monthly cancellable subscription with the applicable rates at that time. This monthly subscription can be canceled at any time with a 1-month notice period.
If you'd prefer to keep the lower rate, you can opt for a new annual subscription. Let us know in writing or digitally before the end of your first 12 months.
Complaints & Service
7. What should I do if I have a complaint?
If you are dissatisfied with our service or the execution of your subscription, please let us know within 7 calendar days of the incident that led to your complaint. You can report your complaint:
Via email: totalstrength@outlook.com
Subject of your email: "Complaint"
Make sure your complaint is clear and well-supported. We will respond within 7 calendar days. Together, we will find an appropriate solution.

9. Do I have to clean the equipment after use?
Yes, after using the equipment, you must leave it clean. Cleaning supplies are available for use.
10. Is there surveillance in the gym?

11. Am I allowed to take photos or videos of others in the gym?
No, it is not allowed to take photos or videos of others without their permission. Violating this rule can lead to suspension or termination of the agreement.

Article 17 Confidentiality
1.Total Strength and the Client are obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding all confidential information obtained in the context of an assignment.

4.Any transfer or distribution of information to third parties and/or publication of statements, advice, or materials provided by Total Strength to third parties requires the written consent of Total Strength, unless such consent was expressly agreed upon in advance.

2.Automatic Transition to Monthly Subscription
After the initial 12-month subscription period, the membership will automatically transition to a monthly subscription, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The monthly subscription is cancellable on a monthly basis with a one-month notice period. If the member wishes to continue the subscription under the modified conditions, the monthly rate will take effect from the time of the change.
3.Choice for a New Annual Subscription
If the member chooses to sign a new annual subscription after the first 12 months instead of switching to the monthly subscription, the member must notify the gym in writing or digitally before the end of the initial subscription period (12 months). If the member does not provide timely notice, the subscription will automatically convert to a monthly subscription.
4.Information and Consent
The member will be informed during registration about the price increase and the transition to the monthly subscription. The member has the option to object to the change by terminating the subscription with the applicable one-month notice period. If there is an objection, the normal cancellation procedure applies.
5.Review of Rates
The price increase will never be unreasonable and will be aligned with general market conditions. The gym will review the rates annually and inform members in a timely manner about any changes.
