Gym and Fitness Club Membership Terms and Conditions
About this document
Membership terms are the contract between your gym and every member. They need to be clear and fair: the Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes unfair or hidden terms unenforceable, the Competition and Markets Authority has taken action against gyms over long minimum terms and hard-to-cancel contracts, and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 brings in specific rules for subscription contracts. These terms are written to be transparent and to help you comply.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
