Terms & Conditions of The LDN Fit Club
Last updated: 2 October 2025
Welcome to The LDN Fit Club (the "Club"). The Club provides fitness classes, personal training, training programmes, food subscriptions, therapy services, kids' training and clubs, and related activities (collectively, the "Services"), through our website www.thelondonfitclub.co.uk (the "Website"). By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"). Please read them carefully.
1. General
1.1 Eligibility
By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under 18, you may only access Services with the written consent of a parent or guardian.
1.2 UK Services Only
The Services are intended for use in the United Kingdom only.
1.3 Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email or by a notice on our Website at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
1.4 Trainer Assignment
All services are provided by the Club as a whole. While we will take client preferences into account and endeavor to maintain continuity where possible, you are engaging the Club for a service, not an individual personal trainer. The Club reserves the right to assign or reassign trainers in order to accommodate client demand, scheduling, or unforeseen circumstances (such as illness, leave, or staff changes).
2. Session Packs & Commitments
2.1 Types of Packs
Session packs include 1:1 Personal Training, Couples PT, Kids PT, and Small Group Training. Packs are available as:
Single-month packs (4, 8, 12, or 16 sessions, valid for 30 days)
Fixed-term commitments (3, 6, or 9 months)
2.2 Payment Methods
Single-month packs: Paid in full at time of purchase (online or in-store)
Fixed-term commitments: Paid either in full upfront (in-store), or by monthly Direct Debit instalments via GoCardless
2.3 Direct Debit Terms
By signing up for a Direct Debit commitment, you authorize GoCardless to collect recurring payments on our behalf in accordance with the Direct Debit Guarantee. A valid direct debit mandate is required unless you pay your entire term upfront.
Any fees charged by GoCardless or our payment provider in connection with failed or cancelled payments will be passed on to you.
Important: Cancelling your Direct Debit mandate does not cancel your contractual commitment. See Section 9.6 for details.
2.4 Payment Required Before Sessions
Sessions cannot take place without cleared payment.
2.5 Session Validity and Rollover
Single-month packs: Sessions are valid for 30 days from purchase and do not carry over. Sessions not used within 30 days are forfeited, except where an extension is granted under Section 9.5 (Exceptional Circumstances).
Fixed-term commitments: Sessions are allocated monthly and do not carry over to the next month.
2.6 Price Changes
Session pack fees may change from time to time. Any increase applies from the next billing period after notice is given (minimum 30 days' notice for existing commitments).
2.7 Pauses
One pause per commitment term is guaranteed if requested at least 14 days before the intended start date. The pause may be for a maximum of 4 weeks, and your commitment end date will be extended accordingly.
Any further pause requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis under our Exceptional Circumstances policy (Section 9.5) and are not guaranteed.
2.8 Reinstating Cancelled Direct Debits
Reinstating a cancelled direct debit mandate may incur an admin fee of £10.
2.9 Bespoke Packs
Bespoke packs may be created for specific clients by agreement with the Club. These follow the same general rules on validity, expiry, and non-transferability unless otherwise agreed in writing.
