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.

Welcome Gym 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.

Your access will depend on the membership type you have purchased.

Standard opening hours for the Welcome Gym are:

Monday to Thursday: 6:00am - 10pm
Friday: 6:00am - 9pm
Weekends and Bank Hols 8am - 6pm

Our paid in full memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable and our 12 -month plan memberships, do have a minimum 12 installment commitment, so if you are in any doubt about committing to a year’s membership then your best option is to opt for the flexible monthly membership paid via direct debit. No notice period is necessary on flexible monthly direct debit memberships. Once you have contacted your bank and cancelled the direct debit that funds your membership, your membership will be terminated immediately.

To cancel your membership with immediate effect, please contact your bank and cancel your direct debit.

Please be advised your membership cancellation will take effect immediately. Therefore your access will be prohibited on the same 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.

Should you decide to join again in the future, you are most welcome to, but will start your membership afresh with an initial month payment to begin with.
