However, any member or guest not employed by or contracted by New TSI Holdings, Inc. as a personal trainer is prohibited from engaging in Personal Training, Private Coaching, Team Coaching, Physical Therapy, or any related activity in our Clubs. New TSI Holdings, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether any act violates this prohibition.

CHECKING IN AND MEMBERSHIP KEY TAGS
Please present your key tag to the Welcome Team for scanning each time you enter the Club. This improves security by distinguishing you from nonmembers. It also verifies the unique access privileges you’ve paid for, protecting the value of your membership. Another benefit is that we can monitor total Club usage and add staff when attendance spikes. We have also utilized Club check-ins for contests to award prizes. Finally, if you’d like to know how often you have used our Clubs (say for tax or insurance purposes), it makes obtaining a Club usage report possible.
Key tags may not be loaned to another person. Allowing someone else to use your key tag will result in immediate termination of your membership. Unfortunately, one strike and you’re out.
All members will be asked to have a photograph taken in the Club. This is to protect the integrity of your membership and for security purposes.
CHECKING IN AND MEMBERSHIP APP

You can also monitor and track your Club usage, which may be helpful for tax or insurance purposes.
Your barcode may not be shared with another person. Allowing someone else to use your barcode will result in immediate termination of your membership.
