Terms & Conditions

Last updated: June 8, 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of WBMA Gym, operated by the Westbank Muslim Association (“WBMA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 4162 Manhattan Blvd, Harvey, LA 70058. By purchasing a membership, day pass, or program registration, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Membership

Memberships at WBMA Gym are personal and non-transferable. The membership holder is the only person authorized to use the facilities under that account, except where a Family Group explicitly covers additional named individuals.

All members must register their face at the front desk in person, with a valid photo ID, before using hands-free check-in. Sharing access with non-members is not permitted and may result in termination of membership without refund.

2. Payment, Billing & Renewals

Monthly memberships renew automatically each month on the anniversary of your sign-up until cancelled. Six-month upfront memberships renew automatically every six months on the anniversary of your sign-up until cancelled — you will be charged the full six-month amount again on each renewal date.

All monthly memberships carry a six-month minimum commitment. Payment is processed securely through a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card details on our servers. Sales tax is collected at the applicable Louisiana state and local rate.

Failed payments may result in temporary suspension of access until the balance is cleared.

3. Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel any membership (monthly or six-month) at any time after the six-month minimum has been satisfied by contacting WBMA at the email address below. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period — you keep access until then, and no partial refunds are issued for unused days within a paid period.

Day passes and babysitting / daycare add-ons are non-refundable except where required by law.

4. Code of Conduct

WBMA Gym is a community facility operated by a Muslim association. All members and guests are expected to behave respectfully, dress modestly, and follow staff instructions at all times. The Group Fitness program and certain dedicated sessions are women-only and must be respected as such.

We reserve the right to refuse service to, or terminate the membership of, any individual who engages in harassment, intimidation, theft, vandalism, or other behavior that disrupts the community or endangers other members.

5. Health, Safety & Assumption of Risk

Use of the gym, pool, and any equipment carries an inherent risk of injury. You represent that you are in adequate physical condition to participate and assume all risks of injury, loss, or damage that may result from your use of the facility.

Members under 14 years of age may use the swimming pool only, and only when a certified lifeguard is on duty. They are not permitted to use the gym, fitness equipment, or any other area of the facility. If a member under 14 enters or uses the gym, fitness equipment, or any area other than the lifeguard-supervised pool, they do so entirely at their own and their parent's or guardian's risk, and WBMA accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any injury, loss, or damage that may result.

You agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless WBMA, its officers, employees, volunteers, and contractors from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the facility, except where caused by gross negligence on our part.

6. Facial Recognition & Data

For hands-free check-in, we capture and store a facial biometric template tied to your member account. This template is used solely to verify identity at the front desk and is not shared with third parties for advertising or analytics purposes. You may request deletion of your biometric data at any time by contacting us, which will revoke hands-free check-in privileges.

We collect and store the personal information you provide during sign-up (name, contact details, age, etc.) to operate your membership. Payment data is handled by Stripe under their own privacy and security policies.

7. Photography & Privacy

For the privacy and modesty of our members, personal photography and video recording inside the gym, locker rooms, and pool area are prohibited without prior written permission from WBMA staff.

8. Facility Hours & Closures

Hours of operation are posted at the gym and may be adjusted for religious holidays, community events, maintenance, or emergencies. Closures do not entitle members to a credit or refund unless the facility is closed for an extended period beyond two weeks.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the facility after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the facility shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
