3.    Booking and Cancellation of Fitness Classes, Expulsion, and Consumer Rights

3.1    You must be 18 or over and a “Consumer” to book and attend any Fitness Class.

3.2    A Fitness Class and Your place in that Fitness Class is subject to availability. No priority is given, and places in a Fitness Class are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We will not reserve or guarantee any particular date and/or time for any Fitness Class unless You book and pay for the Fitness Class for that time and date.

​

3.3    Each Fitness Class requires 3 or more people to book it for it to take place (unless it is available as, and specifically booked as, a small Fitness Class for You and a minimum of 2 other people) up to 27 other people.

3.4    You may book a Fitness Class in person, or through Our website on Our on-line booking system as a single Fitness Class or as part of any available package of Fitness Classes.

3.5    We will only provide a Fitness Class to You if You have pre-booked and paid for it except where as follows, You are allowed to participate in it on a “drop in” or “wait list” basis and have paid for it. If it is already fully booked when you request a booking, We can add you to a wait list for it. We may then be able to offer You the opportunity to book, pay for and participate in the Fitness Class if a wait list space for it becomes available due to another person cancelling a booking. If We tell You of such an opportunity by email or txt message after We have placed You on a wait list You will then need to book and pay for the Fitness Class and be at Our premises no later than 5 minutes before the Fitness Class start time.

3.6    When you book and pay for any single Fitness Class (i.e. one not paid for as part of a package) You must book (or, as set out in sub-Clause 3.11 below, rebook to replace any booked Fitness Class cancelled) for a date which is no more than one month after the date when You make and pay for that booking or rebooking. A Fitness Class not booked (or rebooked) and taken within that period will be lost and, unless You cancel it and are entitled to a refund under these Terms and Conditions in that case, We will not refund any payment You have made for it.

3.7    If You pay for any package of Fitness Classes, but You do not at the same time book the date/s for all of the number of Fitness Classes included in the package, You should then ensure that You book dates for all of the package which fall within the 1 month period after the date when You paid for the package. Any Fitness Classes paid for as part of a package but not booked for dates falling within that 1 month period will be lost and We will not refund any payment You have made for them.

3.8    If You wish to buy a package of 2 or more Fitness Classes and You pay for it, Our contract with You will be for all of the Fitness Classes within that package which You then or later book.

3.9    When You book any Fitness Class, We will require You to pay Us in advance for it, and We will be entitled to keep some or all of that payment as set out in sub-Clause 3.12 below if You later cancel the Fitness Class without giving Us prior notice of at least 24hrs.

3.10    We may treat a Fitness Class that You have booked as cancelled by You without notice to Us if You do not attend any of the Fitness Class. We may then (but We are not obliged to) give Your place in the Fitness Class that You cancelled to any “drop in” customer. We may decide to make a charge to You for that cancelled Fitness Class, and sub-Clause 3.12 below will apply.

3.11    You may cancel a Fitness Class without charge if You give Us at least 24hrs prior notice of the cancellation. If You do so We will refund to You any sum You paid in advance unless when You cancel You ask to rebook for a later date instead and We accept that substitute booking. If the cancelled Fitness Class was paid for as part of a package, We will not refund You any sum for it but You may rebook it under this sub-Clause 3.11 for a date falling within the 1 month period after the date when You booked the package.

3.12    If You do not give Us at least 24hrs prior notice of cancellation of a Fitness Class, We will be entitled to charge You for up to the full price of that Fitness Class (i.e. the price that applies to it as a stand-alone, non-package price Fitness Class). We will be entitled to deduct that charge from any sum You paid in advance for that Fitness Class, and We shall refund any balance to You. For this purpose, if that Fitness Class was part of a package, the sum paid in advance for it will be the total sum paid for the package divided by the total number of Fitness Classes in the package.

3.13    If, due to exceptional circumstances including, but not limited to, illness, accidents and bereavement, You cancel a Fitness Class without giving Us at least 24hrs prior notice, We will consider the circumstances and in Our discretion decide whether to waive any charge for late cancellation that We are entitled to make under sub-Clauses 3.10 or 3.12.

3.14    We may cancel a Fitness Class booked by You at any time before the time and date of that Fitness Class in the following circumstances:

3.14.1    The required minimum number of people for the Fitness Class have not booked for that Fitness Class; or

3.14.2    The required instructor necessary for the Fitness Class is not available; or

3.14.3    An event described in sub-Clause 9 below occurs; or

3.14.4    We find that you are not a “Consumer” (as defined in Clause 1 above).
If We cancel a Fitness Class in such circumstances We will refund to You in full the payment that You have made to Us for that Fitness Class unless it was paid for as part of a package. 
Where it was part of a package, We will not make a refund but You may rebook that cancelled Fitness Class for another date falling within the 1 month period after the date when You paid for the package, or if that period ends less than 1 week after the date of the cancelled Fitness Class and You prefer to have a refund instead of rebooking We will refund You the stand-alone price for that cancelled Fitness Class.

3.15    We will use all reasonable endeavours to start the Fitness Class You have booked at its scheduled start time, but the start may be delayed by overrun of a previous Fitness Class or by other circumstances. If a delay to the start is at least 20 minutes, or, if at any time before or after You arrive for a Fitness Class We notify You that there will be a delay of at least that time, You may cancel the Fitness Class and We will refund to You in full the payment that You have made to Us for that Fitness Class unless it was paid for as part of a package in which case the final paragraph of sub-Clause 3.14 (as to rebooking or refund) will also apply to cancellation under this sub-Clause 3.15.

3.16    Fitness Classes, prices and instructors are subject to change from time to time but We will try to give You as much prior notice as possible of any such changes.

3.17    We reserve the right to expel You from any Fitness Class if Your conduct is in Our reasonable opinion unacceptable, or is or may be in Our reasonable opinion, harmful to Our reputation, or if it amounts to Your breach of these Terms and Conditions, or where in Our reasonable opinion such expulsion is otherwise in the interests of others who are in that Fitness Class or who are in any other Fitness Class being held then or to be held subsequently. You will not be entitled to any refund for a Fitness Class started but not completed due to such expulsion. If at that time You have paid for any Fitness Classes as a package but have not yet booked and/or attended one or more of such Fitness Classes, We may cancel those Fitness Classes not yet booked and/or attended by telling You at the time of that cancellation and in that case We will refund You for the number of Fitness Classes in the package cancelled and the refund will be for the number of package Fitness Classes not taken pro rata to the total Fitness Classes in the package.

3.18    You may for any reason cancel a booked Fitness Class. If You request that Your booking be cancelled, You must confirm this in any way convenient to You via Our Spaces app, online on Our website, email or text.. If You cancel as allowed by this Sub-clause 3.18, and You have already made any payment(s) to Us for the booking, We will refund the payment(s) to You within 14 days of receiving Your cancellation. For this purpose, where any one or more Fitness Classes has been paid for as part of a package, then You may cancel such Fitness Classes (either booked for any date(s) or not yet booked), and We will refund for each such cancelled Fitness Class the total package price amount divided by the total number of Fitness Classes in that package. 

4.    Fees and Payment
 

4.1    You must pay in accordance with Our Price List for all Fitness Classes that We fully and correctly provide to You.

4.2    You may pay Us for Fitness Classes using any of the following methods:

or

4.2.2    Cash, paid at the Fitness Class;

​

4.3    We may alter Our prices without prior notice, but if the price of any Fitness Class increases between the time when You book it and the date of the Fitness Class, the price increase will not apply to You for the Fitness Class on that date.

4.4    All prices of Fitness Classes shown are inclusive of VAT.

5.    Eligibility to take a Fitness Class 

5.1    We only make any Fitness Class available to a “Consumer” (as defined in Clause 1 above), and Your completion of a Booking Form will be deemed to be Your confirmation that You will be a “Consumer” in connection with any request(s) by You to attend any Fitness Class. If at any time We find that you are not a “Consumer”, We may without liability to You cancel Your Booking forthwith by giving You a cancellation notice and You will not then be entitled to attend any further Fitness Classes. If at the time of such cancellation You have paid for Fitness Classes as a package but have not yet attended one or more such Fitness Classes, We will refund You for those Fitness Classes not yet attended and the refund will be for the number of package Fitness Classes not attended pro rata to the total number of Fitness Classes in the package.
