We operate a 3 strikes system at SportÉ«»¨Ìà regarding class attendance to ensure everyone gets a chance to attend their favorite classes and get active. Each time you miss a class we will send you an email to notify you and explain the next step. When you reach 3 no-shows you will have your pre-booking privileges revoked for the remaining of the term and you will accumulate a debt on your account for the 3rd class you missed, payable on your next visit before you can use any of our facilities again.

We request that you cancel your classes with at least 24 hours' notice so that we can offer your space to another member. We can only accept limited numbers into each class and their popularity means we have waiting lists of people who would love to if you can't. We do however understand that in the case of an emergency or due to your work, it might be difficult for you to inform us within 24 hours. If this is the case, please give us notice as soon as possible and depending on your circumstances, we may be able to cancel your session. Please remember that if you let us know we can get someone else in and continue to provide the best service possible.

The most likely reason for this is that you booked but didn't check in at reception on the day of the class. Each time you attend a class please see one of our reception team or check in via our fast track kiosk and make sure you hand your receipt to the instructor of your class.

Occasionally we remove classes temporarily from the programme due to insufficient bookings as we want all of our classes that run to be as vibrant and motivating as possible. As such we set a minimum booking number of 2Ìýpeople for a class. We also try to keep up with trends and what is popular with members and alter our programme accordingly to make sure you can have what you want.

Although we cannot guarantee a space there and then, you can definitely still turn up for classes on the day and see if there is space for you to attend.
