Payment Information and Refund Policy:
When enrolling in any paid programs offered by this site or its creators, you agree to abide by any payment plan you enrolled in and agree to make all reasonable efforts to pay. You also agree to abide by the policies and terms and conditions of our payment processors.
You agree that there is no provision to refund any payment that has already been made to us. All programs that are provided on a recurring monthly payment basis will be automatically drafted on the agreed upon day, or at a reasonable timeframe before or after that date as our payment processors may have their own policies about when drafts are attempted.
Although we cannot refund monies to you, we will accommodate any reasonable request to discontinue drafting further monthly payments from you should you decide you would like to terminate your coaching relationship with us. (Not applicable to “paid in full” membership.)
At end of 12-mo. program, the subscription automatically renews on a month-to-month basis and can be canceled at any time by providing a 14-day advanced notice. The monthly rate however drops to $199/mo and includes support via messaging and email, and gives access to our “Movement Program”. We discontinue our monthly live sessions and all support and communication is via messaging and email.
Paid-in-full membership (PIF): you agree that the PIF option is heavily discounted and therefore has no refund option.
If an exception to this no-refund policy is made, you agree that each month will revert to regular monthly pricing of $299/mo. and a refund will be calculated after this regular pricing has been subtracted.
Email Subscription:
If you sign up to our email list, newsletter, or in any other way contact us by email, you are agreeing to be contacted by email to the same address or any other email address provided.
You agree that should you no longer desire to receive emails from us, you will Unsubscribe to the list and not label our email as spam unless unwanted contact continues after unsubscribing.
Termination:
We may terminate your usage of our website and our courses at any time without having to prove just cause. Violations of any of our Terms and Conditions will result in immediate termination and without notice. You agree to good-faith usage of our site.
I may, at my sole discretion, decide to terminate my coaching services to you. If you have paid in advance I will return to you any unused part of your subscription payment on a prorated basis.

- In consideration of participating in the personal fitness and strength training activities and programs of The Strength Underground and/or Christopher Hinton and to use the programs, exercises, equipment and any recommendations pertaining to the same, I do hereby forever waive, release, and discharge its owners, officers, agents, employees, representatives, executors, property owners and all others acting on their behalf from any and all claims or liabilities for injuries or damages to my person and/or property, including those caused by the negligent act or omission of any of those mentioned or others acting on their behalf, arising out of or connected with my participation in any activities, programs or services.
- I have been informed of, understand, and am aware that strength, flexibility, and aerobic exercise, including the use of equipment, is a potentially hazardous activity. I also have been informed of, understand, and am aware that fitness activities, and especially resistance or weight training involve a high risk of injury, including a remote risk of death or serious disability, and that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment with full knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the dangers involved. I hereby agree to expressly assume and accept any and all risks of injury or death, including those caused by overuse, equipment failure, or improper form or technique.
- I do hereby further declare myself to be physically sound and suffering from no condition, impairment, disease, infirmity or other illness that would prevent my participation in these activities or use of equipment or machinery. I do hereby acknowledge that I have been informed of the need for a physician’s approval for my participation in the exercise activities, programs and use of exercise equipment. I also acknowledge that it has been recommended that I have a yearly or more frequent physical examination and consultation with my physician as to physical activity, exercise, and use of exercise equipment. I acknowledge that either I have had a physical examination and have been given my physician’s permission to participate or I have decided to participate in the exercise activities, programs and use of equipment without the approval of my physician and do hereby assume all responsibility for my participation in said activities, programs and use of equipment.
- I understand that Some of the Key Risks in Resistance and Strength Training Include: Being injured while performing the exercise, falling or slipping, hitting my head, injuring my wrist, back, neck, shoulder, or other body part by performing movements or using equipment, tripping over equipment or training aids which are either accidentally or purposefully left out. Another key risk is any piece of equipment or apparatus that is supporting my body may give way through failure of a part, improper mounting or assembly, or any other failure from a structure or attachment. I agree to hold harmless all entities or persons in connection with any activity.
- I will not do any exercise or movement of which I have any apprehension. I am not forced or pressured to perform any training exercises, so I will use my own best judgment to decide what’s right for me and my body. I am assuming ALL risks myself.
