My gym is not like this at all. It's owned and run by a real person.

They charge a day fee or a monthly fee or you can pay for 3, 6 or 12 months.

I've never given then any credit card or bank details as I pay cash, but I believe they do offer direct debit.




All the big chains use these high pressure techniques. That's why your gym is still a small business and they have hundreds of locations...


In the UK, 'TheGymGroup' literally tells you to cancel membership by ending your direct debit. They're not all that predatory.


What is the policy if you paid for 12 months and want to cancel? Do you have to provide proof that you're moving or any other nonsense?
