The member hereby agrees to abide by all posted safety guidelines and regulations while using SUBTLE STUDIO’s facilities and equipment. Additionally, the member agrees to dress and conduct themselves in a manner deemed appropriate for a fitness facility. The member understands that we operate on a first floor and therefore must be mindful of dropping weights in the correct manner to avoid disturbances. Furthermore, due to the nature of SUBTLE STUDIO gym, the member agrees that there shall be no Olympic lifts performed on the premises (Deadlifts from floor, Snatch, Clean and jerk).

Personal Training Access (Unlimited Personal Training)

Members under our unlimited scheme shall have access to book PT sessions with any available trainer for any available slot dictated on the booking system. Subtle Studio reserves the right to evaluate this based on system abuse. Joint unlimited members shall not be permitted access to the gym as standard unless booked in for a personal training session.

Freeze

Unlimited members may freeze their membership for a maximum of one month at any given time which will reduce their monthly fee down to £40 for that one month. Standard members may freeze their membership for one month for free.

Joint Unlimited Abuse

If a person on our joint unlimited scheme does not turn up to a session with their partner then the person will be charged an additional £10 before the session starts to ensure that the system does not get abused. Should this continually happen, we reserve the right to move your membership up to the individual unlimited membership.

Cancellation (Standard members)

This gym membership may be cancelled by contacting either owner (Josh Butcher / Scott Verity) in person or by phone. Cancellations will take effect from the 1st of the following month provided the dues are paid.

Cancellation (Unlimited & Joint Unlimited members)

This gym membership may be cancelled by contacting either owner (Josh Butcher / Scott Verity) in person or by phone with one calendar month’s notice. Cancellations made after the minimum 3 month term will be done with a full calendar month’s notice. Upon cancellation, one final payment would need to be made in any event to satisfy the notice period. Should the membership not be cancelled after the minimum term then the membership shall continue on a monthly rolling basis until the client requests cancellation in line with the above-mentioned calendar month’s notice. Joint unlimited members cancellations will take effect for the pair if requested by either member. We will, however, reach out beforehand to confirm and see if we can assist if one of the pair isn’t looking to cancel.
