GymBeam is a software booking app connecting you with independent fitness centers. We provide the technology, but do not own or staff the physical gyms. Physical workouts carry natural risks, so please consult a doctor. Bookings reserve physical slots, and gym rates update safely at midnight.

  • ✓Intermediary Platform: We connect you to independent gyms; we don't own equipment or employ trainers.
  • ✓Fair Reservations: Slot bookings reserve real gym capacity. Cancellations must be made via chat before the session starts.
  • ✓Zero Card Storage: Payments are handled by RBI-licensed Razorpay. We never store credit cards, CVVs, or UPI PINs.
  • ✓Injury Waiver: Physical training has natural risks. You are responsible for consulting a physician and using equipment safely.
  • ✓Midnight Rate Lock: Any rate updates by gym owners activate at 12:00 AM IST, protecting already confirmed bookings.

Corporate Identity & Intermediary Status

Legal standing of GymBeam as an electronic marketplace intermediary.

Intermediary Safe Harbor Clarification

Aethrive/GymBeam provides the software reservation, discovery, and payment infrastructure. Physical premises, trainers, and machinery are operated entirely by independent gym partners.

1.1 Corporate Entity: The Platform 'GymBeam' (including mobile applications, web portals, APIs, and associated services) is owned, maintained, and operated by the Parent Entity AETHRIVE Technologies Private Limited (Pending Final Legal Entity Confirmation), a private company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 having its registered office in India (hereinafter referred to as the 'Company', 'We', 'Us', or 'Our').

1.2 Intermediary Status: In accordance with Section 2(1)(w) and Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Rule 3 of the IT Rules 2021, the Company operates strictly as an 'Intermediary' and an 'Electronic Marketplace Entity' under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.

1.3 Nature of Service: GymBeam is a software aggregation and digital reservation platform that facilitates bookings between independent third-party fitness centers, health clubs, and gymnasium operators ('Gym Partners' or 'Gym Operators') and registered individual users ('Customers', 'Users', or 'You').

1.4 No Ownership of Facilities: The Company DOES NOT own, operate, manage, lease, supervise, or control any physical fitness center, gymnasium, athletic facility, exercise equipment, shower, sauna, or locker room listed on the Platform. The Company DOES NOT employ, supervise, certify, or train any fitness instructors, personal trainers, gym managers, or premises staff.

Article 2

Eligibility & User Account Registration

2.1 Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 (eighteen) years of age and competent to enter into a legally binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Individuals under 18 years of age ('Minors') are strictly prohibited from registering, booking slots, or entering partner gym facilities without the express verifiable consent and physical accompanied supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

2.2 Account Security: To access booking features, you must create an account by providing your true, accurate, and current full legal name, active mobile number, and verified email address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your authentication credentials (including OTPs, passwords, or OAuth session tokens). Any activity performed through your authenticated account shall be deemed to have been authorized by you.

2.3 Single User Restriction: Your account is strictly non-transferable. You may not assign, resell, barter, or transfer your account, booking passes, or membership entitlements to any third party.

Article 3

Reservations, Slots & Membership Rules

3.1 Separation of Access Types: The Platform offers two distinct categories of facility access:

3.2 Dynamic Window Pruning: For hourly Slot Bookings, the Platform's booking engine dynamically filters and drops slot durations that exceed the remaining operating window of the selected gym facility. If a partner gym closes in 45 minutes, durations of 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours will be unavailable.

3.3 Membership Access Limitation (No 24/7 Guarantee): A purchased Membership Plan grants regular walk-in entry to the designated gym facility STRICTLY DURING ITS PUBLISHED AND VERIFIED OPERATING HOURS. The Company DOES NOT guarantee, warrant, or represent that any gym offers 24/7 unrestricted access, bypasses local closing hours, or operates on gazetted public holidays.

3.4 Capacity Constraints: Each gym facility operates under statutory and operational maximum occupancy limits. In the event a gym reaches temporary maximum safe capacity, facility operators reserve the right to briefly delay walk-in entry for safety reasons until capacity frees up.

Access Tiers

  • Slot Bookings (Drop-in Session Passes): Time-bound reservations for defined durations (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 1 day, or 1 week).
  • Membership Plans: Extended term passes (1 month, 6 months, or 1 year) granting recurring admission.
Article 4

Pricing, Convenience Fees & Payments

4.1 Pricing Determination: Base session charges, slot rates, and membership plan prices are determined exclusively by independent Gym Operators and are subject to change.

Active bookings made prior to the activation time remain locked at the confirmed purchase rate.

4.3 Platform Convenience Fee: In addition to the gym operator's base charges, the Company levies a technology platform and convenience fee (defaulting up to 20% of gym charges) for software reservation, live occupancy tracking, in-app customer support, and payment orchestration services. The total payable amount displayed prior to payment authorization reflects the full all-inclusive cost (Gym Charges + Platform Fee + Applicable Taxes).

4.4 Payment Processing: All digital payments are processed through Razorpay Software Private Limited, an RBI-licensed Payment Aggregator compliant with PCI-DSS Level 1. The Company does not store, collect, or process your credit/debit card numbers, card expiration dates, CVVs, or UPI PINs.

Article 5
