Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 3, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the theliftgym.com website, our text messaging program, and the training and coaching services provided by Shift Fitness LLC, doing business as The Lift Gym, also referred to as “The Lift,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

By using our website, submitting a form, joining our text messaging program, or purchasing a membership or training package, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or our services.

Who We Are

The Lift Gym is a strength-training gym in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, helping adults 40+ get strong, resilient, and pain-free. We operate under the following names, all of which refer to the same business:

  • Shift Fitness LLC (legal entity)
  • The Lift Gym (trade name)
  • The Lift (short form)

You can reach us by phone at (732) 903-7512, by email at [email protected], or in person at the address listed on our Contact page.

Use of Our Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to attempt to interfere with the site’s operation, gain unauthorized access to any part of it, submit false or misleading information, or use automated tools to scrape or harvest content or contact information.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice.

Memberships, Training, and Payments

Membership terms, session packages, pricing, and billing schedules are set out in the agreement you sign at the time of enrollment. That agreement, together with our posted gym policies, governs your membership. Where it conflicts with these Terms on a membership matter, your signed agreement controls.

Payments are processed through our third-party billing provider. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current. Missed or failed payments may result in suspension of access until the balance is resolved.

Class and session scheduling, cancellation windows, and no-show policies are communicated at enrollment and may be updated from time to time.

Health, Safety, and Assumption of Risk

Exercise carries inherent risks, including the risk of injury. You should consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, and you agree to disclose any medical conditions, injuries, or limitations relevant to your training.

Information on this website — including articles, the 1RM calculator, and other tools — is provided for general educational purposes and is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare provider.

You participate in training at your own risk and agree to follow coach instruction and gym safety rules at all times.

SMS Terms and Conditions

The Lift Gym operates a text messaging program for clients and prospective clients. The terms below apply to that program.

Program name and sender. Messages are sent by The Lift Gym (Shift Fitness LLC), also identified as “The Lift.”

What we send. By opting in, you agree to receive SMS or MMS messages from The Lift Gym at the mobile number you provided. Messages may include appointment and session reminders, scheduling changes, membership and account updates, coaching check-ins and follow-ups, responses to questions you send us, information about programs and challenges, and occasional promotional offers.

How you opt in. We only send text messages to people who have given us express consent — by checking the consent box on a form on this website or a landing page, by signing a waiver, intake form, or enrollment agreement that includes SMS consent, by completing a paper sign-up sheet or lead card at an event, or by texting us first.

Consent is not a condition of purchase. You are not required to agree to receive text messages in order to buy a membership, book a session, or use any of our services.

Message frequency. Message frequency varies based on your membership, your schedule, and your interactions with us.

Message and data rates. Message and data rates may apply to any messages exchanged. Any such charges are billed by your wireless carrier and are solely your responsibility. If you have questions about your text or data plan, please contact your wireless provider.

How to opt out. You can opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP or END to any message from us. After you opt out, you may receive a single confirmation message. To resume messages, reply START. You may also ask us to remove your number by emailing [email protected] or calling (732) 903-7512.

How to get help. Reply HELP to any message from us, email [email protected], or call (732) 903-7512.

Carrier liability. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old and the account holder of, or authorized user of, the mobile number you provide.

Your information. We do not sell or share your personal information, including your mobile number, with third parties for their marketing purposes. Mobile information is shared only with the service providers that help us deliver our messages. See our Privacy Policy for details on what we collect, how it is stored and protected, and how you can review, correct, or delete it.

Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may send you scheduling and account information, coaching content, and occasional news about programs and offers. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email, or by writing to [email protected]. We may still send you transactional messages about your membership or billing.

You may view and share our content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, or use it commercially without our written permission.

Our website links to and relies on third-party services, including mapping, scheduling and billing platforms, analytics, and online retailers. We are not responsible for the content, terms, or privacy practices of those third parties, and a link does not imply endorsement.

Reviews and Submissions

If you send us a testimonial, review, photo, or other content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use it in our marketing, and you confirm that it is your own and accurate. We may decline to publish or may remove any submission.

The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, and we do not guarantee any particular fitness, health, or body-composition result. Results vary by individual.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by New Jersey law, Shift Fitness LLC and its owners, coaches, and employees will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or our text messaging program. Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing here replaces the liability and waiver terms in your signed membership agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shift Fitness LLC and its owners, coaches, and employees from any claims, losses, or expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the website or our services.

Governing Law
