Annual Memberships
Persons wishing to become members must complete a membership form. Annual memberships attract a discounted rate, therefore if you decide to terminate this membership early you will not be entitled to a refund. (This does not affect your statutory rights).
Monthly Memberships
Persons wishing to pay monthly, by direct debit must pay 2 months pro-rata upfront on joining (unless otherwise stated). Direct Debits will be taken out of the member’s account on or just after the 1st of each month at the agreed rate. A current direct debit must be in place at all times to keep the membership in operation. Direct Debit prices may be subject to change.
Student Memberships
Persons wishing to obtain any types of membership designed specifically for students and attracting a discounted rate must present a student ID card and education should be their main vocation.
Membership Cards
The membership card remains the property of YMCA Fylde Coast and is non-transferable to any other person. The membership card must be used by the registered member only. Members must present the card at reception on each visit before using the facilities. Any loss of a membership card must be reported to a centre’s reception immediately. A replacement card will be issued at a cost of £1.
All Memberships
If a member does not attend the facilities having purchased a membership they will not be entitled to a refund of any kind. Members will only be permitted to use the facilities provided that their membership is current and any membership fees are not in arrears (outstanding). Memberships are non-transferable and may be reviewed or discontinued on renewal.
Membership Upgrades/Downgrades
An upgrade or a downgrade of any membership type is at the discretion of YMCA Fylde Coast. All monthly memberships requiring an upgrade or downgrade must fill in a new membership application form. Please note all direct debits are either taken out at the beginning/middle of each month. To downgrade a direct debit membership, the YMCA Fylde Coast requires 15 days notice via email to memberships@fyldecoastymca.org. Annual Memberships will not be downgraded.
Your YMCA Fylde Coast membership entitles you access ONLY to those facilities which are operated by YMCA Fylde Coast for the purpose of physical activity, leisure, health, and wellbeing.
Change of Details
YMCA Fylde Coast must be notified of any changes from the original membership application form at the earliest possible opportunity. Proof of sickness must be submitted (i.e. Doctor’s note) A membership will not be backdated on hearsay.
Direct Debit Cancellation Notice and Refunds
Members wishing to cancel their membership should email memberships@fyldecoastymca.org at least 15 days before their next direct debit is due. The YMCA Fylde Coast is under no obligation to refund a membership fee for any reason. The YMCA Fylde Coast may refuse to renew the membership for any reason. It is the member’s responsibility to cancel their direct debit with their bank. No direct debit money shall be backdated or returned to members due to the member’s non-compliance of the terms set out above.
Classes and Use of Equipment
The member must not use any equipment unless they are satisfied that they are competent to do so safely and properly. YMCA Fylde Coast reserves the right to cancel or suspend memberships at any times if a member does not adhere to safe and proper use of equipment.
Members can pre-book most classes up to 7 days in advance. At least 2 hours’ notice must be given for the cancellation of any bookings, however classes with limited availability have longer cancellation times. Please check at the time of booking.
