Becoming a Member and Payments

1. Membership plan details, including fees and payment dates, are outlined on the website at the time of joining and confirmed via email to the registered email address.

2. Our memberships are available for an initial minimum term of 1 or 12 months. These options are subject to availability at the club.

3. Memberships may be paid in full up front or by monthly Direct Debit. Where payment is made by monthly Direct Debit, a joining fee will be applied and included in the total membership fee.

4. For new members who are paying via Direct Debit, your first payment, including any joining fee, will be paid upfront by card payment. Your recurring payments will then be collected monthly by Direct Debit starting one month after your initial start date.

5. Late Direct Debit payments may result in additional charges for extended credit, administration fees, suspension, cancellation, or referral to a debt collection company.

6. Membership fees may increase with a minimum of 14 days' notice, but not during the initial minimum term.

Products and Services

7. Personal trainers at our clubs are self-employed, and any services they or any third parties provide are agreements between you and them. We are not liable for or responsible for payments made to a personal trainer or third party. Arrangements for PT and other third-party services must be made directly with the trainer or party.

8. Pricing and availability of PT sessions are set by, and at the discretion of, the personal trainers.

9. The group exercise class schedule can be viewed and booked through the V member app.

10. Members no longer able to attend a booked class must cancel at least 24 hours before the start time of the class. Repeated non-attendance of booked classes may result in member's class booking access being revoked.

Freeze your Membership

11. Members may request to freeze their membership after the first month for any reason, for a period of 1 to 3 months, at a cost of £50 per month. All freeze requests must be submitted via email to team@v-london.co.uk  or made in person at the club, at least 510 working days prior to the next payment date. Freeze periods align with monthly billing cycles.

12. Medical, relocation, or other acceptable reasons may qualify for a free freeze of 1 to 3 months with evidence provided. Longer free freeze periods will be offered for specific medical reasons, such as pregnancy.

13. Frozen months do not count towards member's initial minimum term.

14. Members who pay upfront can request to freeze by contacting Membership Services on team@v-london.co.uk.

15. A membership cannot be cancelled while it is in a frozen state. Members must first reactivate their membership and remain active for a minimum of one full month before a cancellation request can be processed. Standard cancellation notice periods and any applicable fees will apply from the date of reactivation.

Cancel your Membership

16. To cancel your membership, you must provide at least 1 full calendar month’s notice. Cancellation requests must be submitted via email to team@v-london.co.uk. Your cancellation will be confirmed by email once processed. If you do not receive confirmation, it is your responsibility to follow up with the team.

17. If you pay your membership fees monthly by direct debit, you can cease your membership to coincide with the end of your initial minimum term by giving 1 full calendar months’ notice. Unless cancelled or you opt to take out a different membership plan with effect from the end of the minimum term, your memberships will be renewed into a new contract with the same minimum term.

18. Once your membership is renewed, as a loyalty discount, you can cancel at any time by giving a 1 full calendar months' notice. Depending on your direct debit collection date, this may require you to pay for the period between your direct debit date and cancellation date.

19. If you decide to cancel your membership before the end of the initial minimum term, you have two options. You can either pay the remaining balance for the full term, and your membership will end on the final day of the minimum term, or you can pay a settlement fee to leave immediately, which will include the accrued charge for credit.

20. The settlement fee is the total discount and rate reduction you received through the contract length originally chosen, when compared to the 1-month flexible rate. (For example, you request to cancel after 3 months of your agreed 12-month minimum term. The difference between the 1-month price and 12-month price is £30 per month, so you are required to pay £30 x 3 = £90.) The monthly fees used for the calculation of your settlement fee are the ones that are currently in place.

21. If your circumstances change significantly and make it impossible for you to use your club's facilities (such as for medical reasons, job loss, or moving house further than 5 miles from the club), you can cancel without additional fees or charges for credit. Contact our member services team on team@v-london.co.uk and provide suitable evidence to support (such as doctor's note or notice of termination of employment).

22. To cancel your membership for medical reasons, you will need to give us notice and provide the documents we ask for as proof of the change in your circumstances. Your membership will not be cancelled, or any fees refunded, until this evidence is provided. (Refunds may be considered when a membership has been purchased on a Paid in Full agreement. This does not apply to memberships paid by Direct Debit).

23. Your membership can be cancelled if you violate the Club Etiquette.

24. If you pay your membership fees upfront in one single lump sum, your membership will automatically end once you have completed this term, unless you choose to renew your membership.
