Who Should Use EDGE?

There are three types of users for EDGE, Fitness Professionals, Fitness Clients and Exercisers:

  • Fitness Professionals are personal trainers and others who hold a current and active CPT credential from an accredited certification body, such as the NASM CPT, and assist people with implementing a fitness plan. Holders of the NASM-PES or NASM-CES credentials are also Fitness Professionals.
  • Fitness Clients are the individuals who engage Fitness Professionals.
  • Exercisers are individuals who use EDGE without affiliation with a Fitness Professional in order to participate in workouts delivered via EDGE.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Monthly Subscriptions.  Monthly subscriptions are on a month-to-month basis. Your subscription begins on the day you subscribe.  For example, if you subscribe on March 9, that subscription period will expire on April 7, thirty (30) days later.  If you have purchased a monthly subscription, every thirty (30) days your subscription will automatically renew for the next month unless you cancel your subscription. Monthly subscriptions may only be purchased through an App Store.  Your App Store will process the renewal automatically, using the payment form you provided to the App Store.  You should receive a monthly account statement from your App Store reflecting these payments. Please note that you will not receive a notice that your subscription is about to expire or that it will automatically renew. 

If you are a Fitness Professional, you may use EDGE for free provided that you have only one Fitness Client also using EDGE. Once you are ready to add more clients, the following subscription packages are available:

  • Trainer Plus. Once you add a second Fitness Client, you will be required to enroll in the Trainer Plus subscription plan.  You may choose the monthly subscription plan, as described above, at the published monthly rate for Fitness Professions (charged monthly) or a yearly subscription plan at the discounted yearly rate for Fitness Professionals (charged in full once annually). The Trainer Plus subscriptions plans allow you to add an unlimited number of Fitness Clients. If you want to cancel your Trainer Plus subscription plan, you can return to the free "one client" use of EDGE, either by selecting the one Fitness Client you with to maintain or by adding a new Fitness Client.
  • Trainer Pro: The Trainer Pro subscription includes all of the features of the Trainer Plus subscription plan plus scheduling and payment collection and management tools. You may upgrade your Trainer Plus subscription plan to the Trainer Pro subscription plan.

If you are an Exerciser, each workout program, such as the Wake-Up Workout, is provided for a monthly period as described herein (each a “Workout Program”).  Once enrolled in a Workout Program, you will receive daily workouts for the month and, when the month is completed, automatically will be enrolled for the next month of the Workout Program until you cancel your subscription for that Workout Program.

We anticipate offering different subscription types (for example, annual subscriptions) in the future. As these new subscription types become available, we will provide you with information concerning the terms and conditions of each type of subscription.

Payments:  Monthly subscriptions may only be purchased through an App Store. All payments for monthly are made and processed through your App Store.  The Company does not collect monthly subscription payments directly and does not keep your payment information. Payments are made in advance for the next thirty (30) day period.  If you signed up through an App Store, you may change your payment method through the corresponding store account.

As new subscription types become available, new payment methods also may become available, such as online payments or phone payments made directly to the Company.  If you provide payment directly to the Company, you authorize our third-party payment processor to receive, store and encrypt your payment information.  If your payment provider determines that there are fraudulent charges on your account resulting from the payment method you provided to us, please contact us immediately.

Refunds:  We do not offer refunds on monthly subscriptions. If you cancel your subscription mid-month, you will continue to have access to EDGE through the end of the subscription month. If you purchased your subscription through an App Store, please review the policies of your App Store to determine whether they offer refunds.

Changing Your Trainer Subscription: If you are a Fitness Professional and you want to upgrade your subscription from Trainer Plus to Trainer Pro you must make the change through your App Store. Once you have processed the change, the Trainer Pro features will become available immediately. If you upgrade during a billing cycle, you will be charged the prorated difference between the Trainer Plus and Trainer Pro subscription, based on the number of days until the start of your next billing cycle. Thereafter, you will be charged the Trainer Plus price. If you want to downgrade from Trainer Pro to Trainer Plus, your Trainer Pro features will remain active until the start of your next billing cycle. On the start date of the next billing cycle, you will be charged the then-current Trainer Plus fees and the Trainer Pro features will be deactivated.

Cancelling Your Subscription:  If you have a subscription purchased through an App Store, you can cancel your subscription using the process provided by your App Store. We do not have the ability to cancel a subscription purchased through an App Store on your behalf. If you have purchased your subscription directly from the Company, please contact Customer Service at 833-707-2626 or [email protected] or, if you are a Premier customer, 0333-400-0353 or [email protected] for assistance.

If you are a Fitness Professional, we will attempt to preserve your historical data and client list for a minimum of one year after you have cancelled your subscription.  If you elect to re-subscribe, you should use the Account your previously established.  If you do so, you will be able to access the data and client list from your prior subscription.  Please note that we may not be able to provide access to your historical data if the data is inadvertently corrupted or lost.  We reserve the right to change the retention period for data linked to an inactive Account.

If you are a Fitness Client, you do not need to purchase a subscription.  You will receive access to EDGE by invitation from your Fitness Professional.  If your Fitness Professional has cancelled his/her subscription, you will continue to have access to any Program developed for you by your Fitness Professional through the last day set in the Program.  For example, if your Fitness Professional gave you a 4-Week Training Program and then cancels his/her EDGE subscription in the second week, you will be able to complete the 4-Week Program using EDGE. Additionally, you will be able to log into your Account even after your last Program ends. You also might want to transfer to a new Fitness Professional; please see the section on “Transferring Between Fitness Professionals” below.

If you are an Exerciser and you have enrolled in more than one Workout Program, you will need to cancel each Workout Program separately in order to cancel your subscription.  You will not have access to your historical data if you cancel your subscription and subsequently re-subscribe.

ONE-TIME PURCHASES

As an EDGE subscriber, you may have the opportunity to make in EDGE purchases of instructional content on a one-time basis. Such content will be offered at a fixed price and the content will be available to you for the period of time you maintain your subscription. If you allow your subscription to lapse, you risk losing access to the instructional content.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, NASM reserves the right to withdraw any content that it determines is out-of-date, inaccurate or otherwise should be removed from use.

If you purchase content that is intended to help you study and prepare for an accredited certification examination offered by NASM or any other certification provider, such material is designed to refresh your knowledge.  Use of such material does not guarantee success on a certification examination.

YOUR ACCOUNT

All EDGE users will need to complete an account registration (“Account”).  In creating an Account with NASM, you will be required to provide certain information. When establishing your Account, you agree to:

  • Provide complete and accurate information to the Company and to permit the Company to store and use your account information for use in maintaining your account and as provided in the EDGE Privacy Policy.

ESTABLISHING A FITNESS PROFESSIONAL/FITNESS CLIENT CONNECTION

In order to create a connection between a Fitness Professional and Fitness Client, the following steps must be completed:

  1. Both the Fitness Professional and the Fitness Client must obtain EDGE;
  2. Both of you need to have set up an Account;
  3. The Fitness Client must provide the Fitness Professional with his/her email address;
  4. The Fitness Professional will send the Fitness Client an invitation email through EDGE.
  5. When the Fitness Client “accepts” the invitation, the connection is established.

Once the connection is established, the Fitness Professional can work with his/her client to perform assessments, set training programs and communicate.  Both the Fitness Professional and the Fitness Client will be able to review any data about the Client and how the Client is performing.  That connection will remain in place until, if ever, the Fitness Client arranges a transfer of his/her data to a different Fitness Professional. 

To be clear, all fitness data about a Fitness Client is kept in the Client’s Account.  Access to that data by a Fitness Professional only occurs if the Fitness Client accepts an invitation from the Fitness Professional.  A Fitness Client may only connect his/her Account to one Fitness Professional at any time.

TRANSFERRING BETWEEN FITNESS PROFESSIONAL

If you are a Fitness Client and you would like to transfer your fitness data (such as past assessment results or program details) from one Fitness Professional to another, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Confirm that your new Fitness Professional has a subscription to EDGE;
  2. Provide your new Fitness Professional with your email address;
  3. Your new Fitness Professional will send you an invitation email through EDGE to become a client.You will receive a warning that when you accept the invitation, your data will be switched to your new Fitness Professional (in other words, you cannot give more than one Fitness Professional access to your data at the same time).
  4. Complete the transfer by “accepting” the invitation.
  5. If your prior Fitness Professional used EDGE to collect payment and your new Fitness Professional also wants to use EDGE to collect payment, your payment history will not be transferred from one Fitness Professional to another. You will need to set up the payment method, through Stripe, with the new Fitness Professional. See the “Payments” section in the PAYMENT FOR FITNESS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES THROUGH EDGE section below for more information.
