TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Health declaration
Members have their own individual level of experience when it comes to exercising
Read the Health declaration
At i-motion gym, we understand that our members are individuals and choose to use the amenities at our club in different ways. We strive to keep our facilities Up to date by consistently adding to and changing equipment we provide, and we are constantly working to ensure that our club is safe and maintained to the highest standard.
Members have their own individual level of experience when it comes to exercising. They each have responsibility for their own health, and exercise always carries its own risks. For these reasons, we do not enforce a formal induction on all equipment prior to use of the club - we give our members the choice as to the level of instruction they receive, and when this takes place, dependent on their needs. The exception to this rule is for youth memberships where youths will be required to carry out a scheduled induction during the start of their membership.
I-motion gym staff are available at scheduled times to answer any questions members may have, to offer advice and to demonstrate how equipment should be used. With this in mind, we ask our members to declare their commitment to using the facilities at
i-motiongym safely.
As a member, you must:
1. Only use equipment you know how to use safely. If you are unsure, seek advice from one of the i-motion gym team.
2. Make yourself aware of any rules and instructions as to how to use equipment,
including all warning notices displayed, and follow them. This includes engaging all
available safety features prior to use.
3. Exercise only within your capabilities and take care for you own safety.
4. You should always consult your GP before exercising. Tell us if you have a medical condition which may impact on your ability to exercise safely. We can help design a programme which is appropriate for you.
5. Let one of the i-motion gym team know immediately if you feel unwell while exercising. We have first aid equipment and trained staff on site at all times to assist.
I declare that I will follow the guidelines above when using the facilities at i-motion gym

Full Terms & Conditions
INTRODUCTION
To help you get the best out of i-motiongym and to understand our responsibilities to you and your responsibilities to us, please read these terms and conditions. Please remember that if you sign up to any of our online facilities or groups, extra terms and conditions may apply.
The language we use should make these terms and conditions as clear as possible. If you have any questions, a member of our team at your club will be happy to help you. To help make these terms and conditions easy to read, we have split them into two parts.
• Part A – terms and conditions of membership
All members must keep to the same terms and conditions, including youth members whose application form has been signed on their behalf by an appointed guardian.
• Part B – specific terms and conditions of youth membership
Parents/legal guardians and linked youth members must follow the youth specific terms and conditions.
• Part C – rules and regulations for using i-motiongym and it’s facilities
These terms and conditions apply to all our members, their guests and walk in guests of the club. They are necessary to make sure we can offer an enjoyable and safe environment for you, your guests and our other members/guests to share during every visit to your club.
These terms and conditions apply at all times and take priority over anything a member of our team has told you.
These terms and conditions replace any previous versions.
PART A – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP
Definitions that apply to part A
You – the lead member
Linked member – Youths who are linked to your membership
We and us – i-motiongym
Your club – the i-motiongym Club which you have applied to join
Responsibilities of lead members and linked members
Every person who signs the membership application will be jointly and individually responsible under this agreement.
All of these terms and conditions of membership apply to you and all linked members unless we tell you otherwise.
You and all linked members must keep to the rules and regulations for using facilities set out in Part B.
Notice
We calculate your membership in whole months. This means that the following applies.
• Anywhere in these terms and conditions where we ask you to give notice of one calendar month or more, if you give notice after your direct debit date, we will treat it as if we received it on the date of your direct debit and the notice period will run from that day. For example, if you joined the gym on the 20th of a month and need to give us one month’s notice to end your membership and we receive your notice on 23rd May, your notice will start from 20th June and will run out on 20th July. You will pay one more direct debit (on 20th June) after giving notice.
• There are no exceptions to this rule. For example, if you give us notice on 23rd May, your membership will end on 23rd July and you will not have to pay any more direct debits after 23rd June.
If you want to give notice, it must be in writing and emailed to: rotherhamadmin@i-motiongym.com. If you need to give us evidence of certain things, you can provide them as attachments to an email. Cancellation requests may only be made via email.
Your notice is not effective until we have received it. We strongly advise that when you give notice you get proof that we have received it. For example, if you send us your notice by email, ask for a delivery receipt or confirmation email that the i-motiongym team has received it.
We will confirm we have received your notice within 10 days of receiving it. If you do not receive this confirmation within 10 days, you must immediately let us know so we can check whether we have received it. Our contact details are on the website.
From time to time we will need to contact you about your membership, so it is important you let us know if your address, contact phone number or email address changes.
If we need to give notice to you:
• it will be effective if we send it to the address or email address we have in the records we hold about you; and
• if we give notice during a month, our notice period will run from the date of notice.
Membership categories
You are entitled to use the facilities available under your category of membership. Your club will give you information about the range of facilities available to you and when you can use them. Each category of membership may have certain restrictions which only apply to that category of membership. We will tell you about these restrictions when you join or when you change your category of membership, whichever applies. You can also get details from our website.
We may choose to stop providing certain categories. If this is the case and you are a new member or an existing member, you will not be able to take advantage of these categories unless they become available.
If applicable, we will need a signed liability waiver form from the person who has parental or legal guardian responsibility for your youth before they can use the club’s facilities. When a youth turns 16, they will become an independent adult member and will need to sign a new agreement in their own right. If you continue to pay the young person’s membership, you should also sign the young person’s agreement. We have the right to limit the number of youth’s linked to an adult’s membership.
If you have a disability which means you need someone to help you use the facilities at your club, you can link your assistant to your membership or sign them in as a guest. You will not have to pay a fee. However, the assistant can only use the facilities to help you.

For annual members, you can suspend your membership for a single period of between one and six calendar months within any twelve month period.

If you suspend your membership and the suspension starts during your initial period, we will extend the initial period by the total period that your membership was suspended. Your membership will automatically restart at the end of the suspension. Suspending your membership is not the same as ending your membership.

If you do not pay your membership fee when it is due, we will write to you to let you know. If you are paying by direct debit, we will try to take this payment from your account again later in the month. If that is unsuccessful, but your direct debit instruction is still in force, we will try to take payment again in the following month for the payment you have missed and the amount due for the current month.
We may refer any missed payments, including any future payments that are due as part of your contract (for example, payments you owe for the rest of an initial period or notice period), to a debt- collection agency.
If you do not pay for your membership, we may prevent you and any linked members from entering the club. This does not mean we will end your membership.
Cancelling your direct debit does not mean you have given us notice to end your membership. You must give us written notice via email.
Changing your membership fees and this agreement
We may increase membership fees automatically each year by up to either 1% above the rate of inflation according to the Retail Prices Index or 3%, whichever is higher.

We will make every reasonable effort to give you one month’s notice of the increase (either in writing or by displaying a sign on the noticeboard in your club).
We may transfer our rights or obligations (or both) under this agreement, or subcontract our obligations under it, to another organisation without giving you notice and you will continue as a member.
