To help you get the best out of The Warehouse Gym and to understand our responsibilities to you and your responsibilities to us, please read these terms and conditions.
This document forms a legal, binding agreement between you and The Warehouse Gym, so please make sure that you read them carefully and understand them.
If you have any questions as to the contents of this agreement, a member of our team at the reception will be happy to help you, or please contact a member of human resources at info@thewarehousegym.com.
To help make these terms and conditions easy to read, we have split them into two parts.
• Part A– terms and conditions of membership
All members must keep to the same terms and conditions including those linked to the membership.
• Part B- rules and regulations for using facilities
These terms and conditions apply to all of our members and their guests. They are necessary to make sure we can offer an enjoyable and safe environment for you and our other members to share during every visit to the gym.
These terms and conditions apply at all times and take priority over anything a member of our team has told you.
These terms and conditions replace any previous versions.
a. Every person who signs the membership application will be jointly and individually responsible under this agreement
b. This means that:
• If one of those people tells us to do anything in relation to the membership (including ending it) we will take that as authority from all of them;
• Each of those people will be responsible for paying all of the appropriate membership fees for themselves, for any other people who have signed the form and for all linked members
c. The responsibility in A1b for the fees and charges of any linked member continues until:
• The linked member ends their membership by following the procedure in A8 ‘Ending your membership’
d. The rules in A1a to c also apply to anyone who makes an application online.
e. All of these terms and conditions of membership apply to you and all linked members unless we tell you otherwise.
f. You and all linked members must keep to the rules and regulations for using the facilities set out in Part B.
a. We calculate your membership in whole calendar months. This means that the following applies.
• Anywhere in these terms and conditions where we ask you to give notice of one calendar month or more, if you give notice during a month, we will treat it as if we received it on the first day of the following month and the notice period will run from that day. For example, if you need to give us one month’s notice to end your membership and we receive your notice on 23 February, your notice will start from 1 March, it will run out on 30 March, your membership will end on 30 March and you will pay one more direct debit (on 1 March) after giving notice. The only exception to this is if you give us notice at the beginning of a month. This means that if we receive notice from you up to and including the fourth day of a month, we will treat it as if we received it on the first day of that month and the notice period will run from that day.
• Anywhere in these terms and conditions where you can give notice to end your membership from the end of the month, when you give notice we will end your membership at the end of the month during which we receive your notice as long as you have met all other requirements associated with it. For example, if we receive your notice on 23 May (with any supporting evidence we have asked for), your membership will end on 31 May and you will not have to pay any more direct debits after 31 May. There are no exceptions to this rule. For example, if you give us notice on 1 June, your membership will end on 30 June and you will not have to pay any more direct debits after 30 June.
• If your membership rolls over into the second 12 month contract, only from this point onwards do you have to give at least 3 calendar months’ notice, if you give notice during a month, we will treat it as if we received it on the first day of the following month and the notice period will run from that day. For example, if you need to give us three month’s notice to end your membership and we receive your notice on 23 February, your notice will start from 1 March, it will run out on 31 May, your membership will end on 31 May and you will pay one more direct debit (on 1 April) after giving notice. The only exception to this is if you give us notice at the beginning of a month. This means that if we receive notice from you up to and including the fourth day of a month, we will treat it as if we received it on the first day of that month and the notice period will run from that day.
b. If you want to give notice, it must be in writing (addressed to the reception). We will accept notice by email info@thewarehousegym.com.
c. If you need to give us evidence of certain things, you can provide them as attachments to an email.
d. Your notice is not effective until we have received it. We strongly advise that when you give notice you get proof that we have received it. For example:
• If you send us notice by post, send it by recorded delivery (we will have to sign the delivery notice when we receive it);
• If you hand your notice in at the gym, ask for a receipt; or
• If you send us your notice by email, ask for a delivery receipt.
e. We will confirm we have received your notice within 10 days of receiving it. If you do not receive this confirmation within 10 days, you must immediately let us know so we can check whether we have received it.
f. From time to time we will need to contact you about your membership, so it is important you let us know if your address, contact phone number or email address changes.
g. If we need to give notice to you:
• It will be effective if we send it to the address or email address, we have in the records we hold about you; and
• If we give notice during a month, our notice period will run from the first day of the following month.
Standard Annual Membership
a. Your membership will begin on the day when you make your membership application.
b. For a Standard Annual membership your membership will run for the initial period, which is at least 12 full calendar months (see A4c) and will continue then indefinitely until you give us at least one full calendar months’ notice in writing in line with A2 notice.
c. If you want to end your membership from the end of the initial period, you can give us one calendar months’ notice (see A2 ‘Notice’) as long as we receive your notice any time up to and including the first day of the final calendar month of your initial period. If you give us notice but we do not receive it by the first day of the final calendar month, your membership will not end at the end of your initial period. Instead, we will treat your notice as if we received it on the first day of the following month and your membership will not end until one month after that date. We will contact you in writing at an appropriate time towards the end of your initial period to remind you of this. There is more information on ending your membership in A14 ‘Ending your membership’.
a. If you ask us to reduce your membership fee because you meet a special condition, for example because you work for a particular employer, you will need to provide evidence that you meet the condition before we will reduce your fee and, from time to time, we may ask you for up-to-date proof that you still qualify for the reduced fee.
b. When you and anyone linked to your membership join, you will each need to have your photograph taken. This is to allow us to check your identity when you enter the gym.
c. You can change your mind about joining. To do this you will need to give notice in writing. If you change your mind, we will refund any fees you have already paid, and your entire membership will end. You can do this at any time up to seven working days after making your membership application or up to the first time you or any of your linked members enters the gym to use the facilities, whichever is the earlier.
a. We may need you to provide proof, which is satisfactory to us, of:
• Your eligibility for a specific type of membership, either before your membership starts or at any time during your membership; or
• Your entitlement to cancel or freeze your membership; or
• Any email you sent to confirm cancellation or the date you posted your cancellation notice, or both.
• If you cannot provide satisfactory proof, for example you cannot prove the date of postage of your cancellation notice, we will not be able to cancel your membership and your membership may continue unless and until you do provide us with a proper and effective cancellation notice.
• If you cannot provide satisfactory proof of your eligibility for a particular discounted membership, we will automatically upgrade you to the full rate and inform you in writing in line with the direct debit guarantee.
• We will require a photograph to be taken as proof of identity and to be held against your membership record to validate entry.
• We will request photographic evidence at your time of joining, to validate your identity.
b. Your contact details:
• We will send all, emails, communications and information to the address and other contact details you have given us on your membership agreement form. You must keep us up to date with any changes to your address or other details by filling in an administration form at your reception.
• If at any point we find that you have provided us with an incorrect name, address or other details which are not your own, we have the right to cancel your membership and prevent you from joining or attending The Warehouse Gym in the future.
c. For a Standard Annual membership your membership fee is due every year and covers the year to come. You must pay for your membership by making one payment each year.
d. For Standard Monthly membership your membership fees are due on the 1st of each month and cover that month. You must pay for your membership by making monthly payments by direct debit, unless we agree otherwise.

b. If your fob needs replacing, we will replace it for a £5 charge.
c. Your membership is personal to you and you cannot transfer it to another person. You must not lend your membership fob to another person.

• Individual adult linked members can suspend their membership, but you and they will have to sign the membership suspension form;
d. The suspension will take effect from the first day of the month following the date we receive your membership suspension form signed by everyone who needs to sign it. You must make sure that the gym has received the signed membership suspension form. As the suspension will not take effect until we have received the form, we strongly advise that you get proof that we have received it. For example:

• If you hand your form in at the reception, ask for a receipt.
e. We will confirm, in writing, that we have received this form and the date when the suspension will begin. If you do not receive this confirmation within 10 days, you must immediately let us know.

You must give us suitable evidence. The suspension will take effect from the first day of the month following the date we receive your membership suspension form signed by everyone who needs to sign it and your suitable evidence. Throughout the time your membership is suspended due to a medical condition there will be no monthly charge and you will not be able to enter the gym.
h. If you give us notice to end your membership or the membership of a linked member while it is suspended, the suspension will end at the same time as the notice period starts, unless you are ending your membership early in line with A10.1 ‘Ending your membership early’. If you are ending your membership in line with A10.1, the suspension will continue to the end of your membership.
