Monthly memberships are either 'Unlimited' or set to a number of sessions per month. If Unlimited this refers to attending as many days per week as desired, however there is a limit of 1 class per day on all memberships. Monthly memberships with an attendance limit are on a calendar month basis. If any sessions are unused in that calendar month they cannot be carried over to subsequent months


• MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP WITH MONTHLY DISCOUNT: If you commit to a monthly membership with a monthly discount for a specific period (e.g. 3 months) you are accepting this discount on the basis that the membership cannot be cancelled before the full term has completed (e.g. 3 x months billed).


• UPFRONT DISCOUNTED MEMBERSHIPS & UPFRONT FOUNDER MEMBERSHIPS: you commit to being a member for the stated term of the membership and paying the membership fee at a discounted rate upfront. This rate cannot be continued beyond the initial purchase period.

• MONTHLY FOUNDER MEMBERSHIPS: you commit to being a member and paying the discounted monthly fee for at least 1 month, after this period your membership will automatically continue on a month by month basis, and if you wish to cancel you must do so in accordance with clause 7.3. The discounted price is valid for the stated period on the membership. After this period your membership will automatically continue on a month by month basis at the full cost of your chosen membership, and if you wish to cancel you must do so in accordance with clause 7.5. This rate cannot be continued beyond the initial purchase period.


• INTRODUCTORY MEMBERSHIP (e.g. Friends and Family Offer/Intro Offer): you pay a fee upfront to cover a a period of 4 weeks. Introductory memberships are at a discounted rate and this rate cannot be continued beyond the initial purchase period.

3. Membership Fees

3.1. The cost of your membership will depend on your chosen type of membership. Your monthly membership fees are set out on the Memberships page on WodBoard.

3.2. During your membership you must pay the fees whether you use the gym or not (unless you have frozen your membership).

3.3. When your membership ends and we have taken the final payment, you are responsible for cancelling the direct debit.

4. Payment Method

Unless you have chosen the '16 Class Pass' or ‘8 Class Pass’ package, or paid the discounted rate for 3 month upfront as part of the 'Discount Membership' option, all monthly fees must be paid in advance every month by direct debit, unless otherwise agreed. Other payment methods may incur additional fees.

5. Failure to pay

In the event of a failure to pay an instalment by direct debit, or any other sum you owe to us, we will ask you to pay by cash, debit card or credit card and to give us your correct bank details. We may appoint a debt-collection agency to collect any payments you owe, and you may have to pay any costs associated with this, including court costs, or, we may choose to take the payment from your credit card or debit card using the credit card or debit card details you have given us.

6. Freezing/Pausing membership

6.1. You may freeze your membership for between 1 and 12 calendar months for the following reasons only (for the avoidance of doubt, redundancy is not a valid reason to freeze the membership of the '16 Class Pass' or ‘8 Class Pass’ or, during the initial pre-paid period, 'Discount Memberships'):

• Pregnancy;


• Illness or injury. To freeze your membership due to injury please first book an appointment with your coach to discuss which training adaptations may still be available to you. We retain the right to ask for a doctor’s certificate to show you are unable to train (please note minimum freeze period is 1 month);


• Redundancy,

and in all cases any request to freeze your membership must be made by email to karen@gymnasium.fit, if relevant attaching the doctor's certificate requested.

6.3. We will start your membership again, and start taking any direct debits, on the date you tell us you want your membership to start again.

6.4. We will not charge you membership fees while your membership is frozen. If you have chosen our '16 Class Plan’ or ‘8 Class Plan’, we will extend the deadline for use of the classes by the number of full calendar months your membership has been frozen for. If we increase our prices during the period when your membership is frozen you will have to pay any new prices that apply to your membership type when your membership starts again.

6.5. If you freeze a membership for over 6 weeks it may not be possible to hold the same membership for you beyond this period and you may need to return onto a different membership until a place is available for you. Any difference in fees would be credited to your account.

If you are unable to make use of your membership we advise first looking at the membership freeze options. Memberships cannot be transferred.
