Class Etiquette

  • Beat the Clock: Be on time to the class; late arrivals will not be permitted. Whilst we understand outside circumstances may occasionally interfere with arriving on time, this policy is in place for your safety and other participant’s enjoyment.
  • Studio Entry: Please only enter the studio after the previous class is finished.
  • Belongings: We recommend you use a locker provided, these take a £1 coin which is returned at the end of your locker use. We can not be held responsible for any items you bring with you into the studio. This includes property loss, theft or damage.
  • Mobile Phones: Please ensure phones are off or on silent.
  • Stay Hydrated: Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated, also have a towel for your own personal use.

Failure to attend any class/activity previously booked, or if a class is not cancelled (a no-show) or cancelled with less than 2 hours notice (for 3 times or more in any one-month period), the customer may lose their advance booking rights for a period up to 7 days across all centres.

Cancellation Of Booking By Centre

  • YMCA reserves the right to refuse or cancel any booking without giving any reason, to refuse admission to the centre, to reject an application for membership and to withdraw membership.
  • YMCA can add to, change, withdraw or cancel facilities or activities from the centre without notice. This includes closing a centre or changes to its opening hours for safety reasons, maintenance or special events.
  • Members who book and pay online will be entitled to a full refund of any additional charges if the centre withdraws the facility, class or activity. The payment will be refunded directly to the credit or debit card through the YMCA Central Office. The member will be required to provide the web booking reference number from the original booking confirmation email. Refunds will be co-ordinated by your reception team at any YMCA centre.
  • No refund of membership fees will be made if a facility, class or activity booking is cancelled by the centre.
  • The centre will not be liable for any other expenditure incurred or loss sustained by the customer arising from the booking online or cancellation.
  • We are committed to meeting the highest standards of service in everything we do and this includes our activity programmes. We think of you as part of the YMCA family and we know how important routine is, especially when it comes to your health and wellbeing. Finding cover for our classes can be difficult at times due to instructor holidays and sickness, especially when our instructors are as good as they are. We simply have the best! We endeavour where possible to find temporary replacements and cover for our classes of equally good standard. However, sometimes this may not be possible. On occasions such as this, we would like to let you know that cancelling a class or activity is not what we want to do. We want to ensure that your fitness routine is not affected and that you stay on track to achieve your fitness goals. Therefore, on occasion, our cover policy of instructor-led classes may mean that a class is temporarily covered with a virtual class (if available). Additionally, the class required to be covered may not have a virtual alternative. If this is the case, a virtual class may be played that is not the same as the advertised timetable.
