Following the first period, Debit Finance Collections Plc will continue to take monthly Direct Debit instalments unless the necessary notice to terminate is provided.

This can be done up to 10 days before the next direct debit is due. If it is less then 10 days before you next direct debit is due then you must wait until your payment is made before cancelling.

Such notice must be received at least 10 days prior to the next Direct Debit due date to be effective for that month end. Receipt after 10 days in advance of the next Direct Debit will result in the membership being terminated at the end of the following month.

6.9 Pandemic Clause: Due to the dire financial impact on 24/7 Fitness of the 20/21 enforced lockdowns, from the 17th May 2021 we will not be able to extend, freeze or refund Paid in Full Memberships during government lockdowns. Any member purchasing a heavily discounted Paid in Full membership acknowledges that they are taking this risk when choosing this membership option.
For the
avoidance of any doubt, in the unlikely event of exceptional
circumstances where a Paid in Full membership has been brought to an end
prior to the end date and a refund is deemed as appropriate by the Club
any refund would be calculated as follows: The discounted Paid in Full
price less the sum of the non-discounted month to month membership rate
multiplied by the number of the months that the membership has run for
plus a £20 administration joining fee, the refund would be equal to any
balance remaining after this calculation. In event that the sum of the
standard month to month rate multiplied by the number of months the
membership has run plus the £20 administration joining fee exceeds the
discounted Paid in Full upfront membership price paid, no refund would
be applicable in these circumstances.
From time to time and at its sole discretion, 24/7 Fitness may offer a subscription option "auto-renewals" for any of its membership plans. These terms apply where a subscription plan is agreed to at point of sale.
