Gym Membership Cancellation Question

[RossiT]

Hi,

I currently have a family membership at an Esporta Gym which I've had for 2 yrs. When I signed the contract it included free kids activities, they have announced today that our membership will be an extra £40 per month (2 kids) as they're doing away with the free activities.

As they're changing the conditions am I able to cancel my membership directly or does there standard 3 month notice period still apply?

Thanks

Maybe ask them..?

It's probably in the small print that they can change terms w/out notice - wont affect your 'rights'

Tell them why you're about to take the family away from the gym, and they might cave in, or at the very least knock a bit off.

Assuming you want to stay that is.

Sounds rather unsporting to me on their part, when negotiating with them, refer to the amount as 'around £500 a year', sounds more dramatic that way.

What does the contract say about changes in terms and contracts?

i woudl argue the change is unreasonable and therefore you can cancel the contract immediatley if they want the £40 now - OR continue the contract at the current price with notice for 3 months to cancel it
