Paying for membership

 CANCEL
  
 UPDATE
Your first month fee covers all joining costs, including your gym introduction with a highly qualified personal trainer; we issue you with your biometrics - scanned fingerprint record; and also covers your initial period of usage.
The 3 month membership package is designed for members who do not have, or would prefer not to pay via the Direct Debit, and is still very competitively priced. We also offer a one-month membership – useful for people working away from home or who would like to try the gym for a short time or a multi-pass for greater flexibility.
No. We believe our prices are extremely competitive and are therefore non-negotiable! The prices listed under the ’Join Now’ tab of the website are our set membership types.
If you are changing banks and wish to continue to pay for your membership by direct debit you need to contact your new bank and instruct them to switch all your direct debits and standing orders to your new account. Most banks will process this in seven working days.

However, if we are unable to collect your monthly subscription payment by direct debit because you have not allowed sufficient time for the switch to be made before your due payment date, your membership will expire automatically and you will have to re-join from scratch, paying another joining fee and setting up a direct debit mandate on your new bank account.
The collection day is fixed on joining and may not be changed for any reason.
Fitness4Less has a policy of continuing to renew and improve club facilities and services and to offer a wide range of equipment. To support us in doing this, each club charges all members an annual club enhancement fee of £7.50. Members are informed of when this fee will be due via email. The fee when due will be taken with the normal monthly direct debit payment.

A gym intro with a Professional Personal Trainer is included within the joining price. These can be booked via the Member Area.
Fitness4Less provides lockers to store your clothes and valuables. These lockers are for use whilst you are within the club ONLY and storage is not available to you overnight or during the day whilst you are off site.

Any valuables left behind overnight will be removed and moved to lost property.

Our lockers must be secured using your own personal padlock. Combination locks which fit our locking mechanisms are available to purchase in our vending machine located in reception.

You are welcome to bring a padlock with you but please make sure it has an 8mm shackle.

All belongings are left at the member’s own risk and Fitness4Less cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.
The vast majority of our classes are included in your membership. These can be booked in the 'Member Area' of the website. Specialist classes may incur an additional fee paid directly to the class instructor. These classes are identified on the timetable.

Class bookings open at 6am, 6 days in advance. Free cancellations must be made at least 1 hour before the class starts (5 hours for select clubs).

To give everyone the best chance of attending their favourite classes, we encourage members to cancel their spot in a class if they know they can no longer attend. If you fail to cancel your booking for more than two classes that you don't attend, your online booking facility will be temporarily stopped until a small £2.50 No-Show Fee is paid.
Professional Personal Trainers conduct our free Gym Intro sessions. This provides an opportunity to get instruction on a basic starter programme, meet team members and book a follow up free 30-minute personal training session.

Alternatively, please visit Training on the website for more information and contact details. You can email or call your chosen Personal Trainer to arrange a trial session with them direct.
Fitness4Less does not usually offer this facility. You must pay for your membership whether or not you use the gym. This is reflected in our moderate fees.
Here at Fitness4Less we value any comments or suggestions about the club and the service we provide. From the Home Page, please select your club and use the contact form that relates to your home gym to contact our team or ask at reception or email info@fitness4less.co.uk

Leaving the club and cancelling

 CANCEL
  
 UPDATE
Our paid in full memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable, so if you are in any doubt about committing to a year’s membership then your best option is to opt for the monthly membership paid via direct debit. 12 month plans have a minimum commitment of 12 monthly payments. Flexible memberships have no notice period . Once you have contacted your bank and cancelled the direct debit that funds your membership, your membership will be terminated. Please be aware that 12 month plans must not be cancelled until 12 monthly payments have been made as you have agreed to make all the payments that are due. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your membership and all remaining instalments and additional charges may become payable.
Members who have a flexible monthly membership or have completed the minimum term membership can cancel their membership with immediate effect, this is completed by contacting your bank and cancelling your direct debit.

Please be advised your membership cancellation will take effect as soon as your bank notify Fitness4Less. Therefore your access will be prohibited on that day. We do not offer refunds on unused memberships, so to make the most of your last month at the gym, it is advisable to cancel your direct debit about 7 working days before the date when your next subscription is due to be collected. Please do not leave it any later than this, or your bank will not have time to cancel before the collection of your next month’s subscription.
