Know the cost

- What is the total amount payable over the life of the contract?
- Are there extra fees for classes or trainers?
Know your rights
- You can cancel your gym contract:
- within seven business days of receiving the written copy of the contract;
- if you move more than 30 km away from your home gym or one of its other locations;
- if there are material physical, medical or mental changes supported by your medical practitioner that would make gym participation unreasonable;
- if there are material changes in the services being provided, or if the facility moves more than 10 km from its former location; and,

- The term of a gym contract cannot exceed two years.
Be sure to ask
