Health Form, Health Declarations & Safety

On signing up to any of out programmes you will be asked to complete an electronic Pre Activity Health form.

If after discussion with your coach he or she concludes that you have any serious health issues you will need written permission from your GP prior before commencing training.

If you have any medical issues that you feel might affect you exercising please consult your GP before joining us and take a copy of our PARQ with you.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in good health and do not suffer from any condition or physical impairment which could prevent you from completing a training session safely.

You must notify your coach prior to commencing any session of any changes in your condition or any physical impairment that might affect you.

If you have a condition that might affect you but your GP gives you the go ahead please get them to attach a signed and dated consent note on headed paper from your surgery and staple it to your PARQ.

If your health changes at any time whilst you are participating in training activities you must inform 40 Plus Fitness Club so we can update your PARQ.

Appropriate footwear and clothing must be worn at all times.

 

6 Week Blitz

On signing up you agree to our full terms as applicable.

This is our entry programme for our large group training.

You can attend up to 3 workouts per week between Monday to Friday for the duration.

Your 6 week investment also includes your resources and access to our private Facebook group.

There is a one off payment for the programme with no long term commitment.

If there are any Bank holidays during your 6 week programme you can add these onto the end as we don't run our large group format on public holidays. This can typically happen over Easter.

 

Booking your sessions (and why we ask you to)

Ok lets talk about 'Booking sessions' and why we ask you to.

Pre-pandemic we didnt have a booking system.

However once restrictions were put in place we had to track everyone and use a booking system.

What this also allowed us to do was make the best use of spaces with restrictions in place.

Post covid we have kept the ability to book into a different session but with certain restrictions covered below

So what's the best way to stay on top of this?

You are able to book your sessions up to 2 months ahead at any given time, so do this, then every week update your bookings so you are always 2 months ahead.

This will mean all your sessions are always booked in.

We are only a small studio with limited spaces so you should do our sessions at your chosen time-slot.

However should you want to change, you can check on the day for 9.30am, 6pm and 7pm spaces and the evening before for 6am to see if there are any spaces available.

We only have a maximum of 11 spaces available per time slot and they are all taken 90% of the time, so if you can't make a session, or are away for any period of time we ask that you un-book those slots so that others can use them.

If you don't book your spaces and someone else sees that it's free and takes it then you also turn up, then there will be too many people for the number of spaces and you wont be able to train.

So this system only works if everyone does it.

So please make it part of you weekly/daily routine to update your bookings.

 

Payments - Group Training

All memberships are managed through Team Up

6 week programme payments are taken using Stripe

Monthly recurring payments are taken by card using GoCardless via Teamup on the 1st of the month and your first month will be prorated if you join part way though a month

We reserve the right to increase fees and if an increase occurs you will be given 3 months notice of the changes.

We regret that we don't take cash payments.

 

Payments - Personal Training

All personal training payments are taken in advance of training.

Personal trainers who work out of the 40+ studio are self employed and payment should be made directly to them and not 40 Plus Fitness Club.

We reserve the right to increase fees and if an increase occurs you will be given 3 months notice of the changes.

 

Monthly Membership - Group Training

On signing up you agree to our full terms as applicable.

On completion of your 6 week programme monthly membership is £59 per month.

Your monthly investment of £59 includes up to 3 sessions per week, plus your online resources and access to our private Facebook group which is available to you throughout the year.

Sessions cannot be carried over from one month to the next and there are no part payment deals.

There are a small number of members who are on a 2 per week membership - we had to offer this when services were limited during the pandemic and we also had to change the days we ran sessions after it and not all members could do all 3.

Unfortunately we are a small specialist studio and we do not have the flexibility to offer any more 2 per week memberships. Thankyou for your understanding.

Paid in Full 12 Month Memberships - we have a small number of discounted 12 month memberships. We will let members know when any of these come available and what the saving is.

 

Programme Structure

We run a progressive, results and commitment focused group programme and regret that we do not offer pay as you go or part time memberships.

Our programme run to a 46 week format.

So you are only charged for 46 weeks out of 52 and to keep it simple this is divided into 12 monthly payments.

That leaves 6 weeks for which you are not charged.

We shutdown at Christmas and New Year for around a week sometime longer depending on when Xmas and New year fall.

And please note we don't run our group programme on Bank Holidays.

 

Refunds

If you decide to cancel prior to your first day then you will be entitled to a full refund on your 6 week entry programme.

No refunds will be given once your 6 week or monthly paid programme has started.

There are no refunds on discounted paid in full deals except if we were to move locations.

 

Trials & Other Promotions

We may periodically offer trial periods or other short terms promotions.

Please note that if you join us via one of these, that your trial or promotion period does not count towards your monthly or paid in full commitment should you decide to stay with us on its completion.

 

Membership Termination

You are free to remove yourself from 40 Plus Fitness Club on completion of your monthly or paid in full commitment (if you have paid in full then its your responsibility to make good use of your time with us).

If you are not a Facebook user then please give your coach your mobile number or best contact so we can let you know.

If you train at 6am we recommend you give your coach your mobile number to let you know as we understand you may not check the group at that time of day.

Should your coach be off due to illness for a prolonged period and no cover is available a suitable arrangement will be discussed and made with all members but please not this does not apply to the 'odd day' - everyone gets sick, even trainers and please remember we work to a 46 week format which leaves 6 weeks that you do not pay for, so you are not losing out.

Should you be ill or need to be away from training for a prolonged period for medical, health or personal reasons please get in contact and we discuss cancelling your account or freezing it for a given period as appropriate.

 

Cancelling & Re-scheduling Sessions

Although every attempt will be made not to do so, 40 Plus Fitness Club reserves the right to cancel or reschedule sessions.

Should a session be cancelled and no cover is available, please remember we work to a 46 week format which leaves 6 weeks that you do not pay for, so you are not losing out.

We also reserve the right to adapt our class structure, timetables and the number of weekly sessions delivered.

 

Parking - Glastonbury

We are situated on a communal yard and there is usually always space to park outside the studio if you come to our 6am, 6pm or 7pm sessions.

If you attend our 9.30am sessions and there is no space along the fence line outside the studio then you can park on the left hand side of the yard as you drive in opposite Hazy Maes auctions.

Please do not park in front of the 3 the other units close to the studio.

Dowdens Motors will try to move as many cars as they can when they see our clients arriving for 9.30am sessions.

However they are not obligated to do this, as the yard is open to everyone who uses it, but are happy to try and clear as much space as they are able to.

The 40 Plus Fitness Club signage along the fence line is to help keep the area as clear as possible and does not apply to the garage so please don't get into an argument with them.

If you attend at 9.30am we suggest you try to arrive early to get a space or park on the roads outside the yard, for instance by the Tor school as there are no yellow lines.

We cant control what happens and we are not obligated to provide everyone with spaces, but we offer the best provision we can.

If you are unhappy with the parking provision and decide that its not going to work for you and want to leave we will refund you the remainder of your 6 week programme, or the remainder of your current months payment if you are on monthly membership.

 

Nutrition

We are not registered dieticians or nutritionists and at no time will we tell you to follow a particular diet or go beyond the scope of healthy eating advice.

You will a be given a copy of Kierans book which contains a generic nutrition plan based on the 'elimination diet' protocols, plus some recipe books, all in PDF format.

We may also educate you around different nutritional approaches some of which may involve counting macros and/or calories.

At no time will we tell you to follow a particular approach, however should you ask for additional advice, we will only suggest which one(s) we feel will benefit you most according to the outcomes you want to achieve and should you choose to follow them, this is undertaken entirely by your own choice, under your own free will, and at your own risk.

Also please note that individual results can vary.

If you have an intolerance or special dietary needs then we strongly recommend that you consult your GP before starting any of our plans and seek out the help of a nutritionist where appropriate.
