Frequently asked questions

If you signed up online or off-premises, you have a 14-day cooling-off period. After that, check your contract terms, but unfair cancellation clauses can be challenged.

No. If you’ve followed the correct cancellation process, continued charges are unauthorized. Contact your bank to cancel the Direct Debit and dispute any post-cancellation payments.

If the gym closes permanently, you’re entitled to a refund for any prepaid period. If they enter administration, register as a creditor.
