What not to use
- The member enquiry form on the Village Gym website cannot be used to cancel a membership. See Member enquiry form.
- Cancellations must come from the named membership holder; third-party requests are not accepted.
Cancel by reason
Moving - change of principal place of work or home
Village Gym lists change in principal place of work or home as an accepted exceptional circumstance for early cancellation. Provide proof such as a tenancy agreement, signed lease, new employment contract or utility bill showing new address. If Village Gym accepts the evidence, a 1 paid calendar month notice applies.
Long-term illness or injury
Village Gym accepts long-term illness or injury as an exceptional circumstance. Provide a medical letter or fit note from a GP or consultant detailing inability to attend. If accepted, termination requires 1 paid calendar month notice. Relevant law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services must be performed with reasonable care and skill) and CMA guidance on unfair contract terms.
Loss of livelihood
Loss of livelihood (evidence of redundancy or job loss) is listed as an exceptional circumstance. Provide redundancy letter, P45 or official notice. If Village Gym agrees, 1 paid calendar month notice applies.
Death of subscriber
Village Gym will accept death of the named contract holder. The contract can be ended by the estate on submission of a death certificate. The precise notice accepted is at Village Gym discretion; seek written confirmation by email.
End of initial commitment
If your membership has an initial commitment (for example a 12-month Results membership), you cannot cancel until that period ends except for exceptional circumstances. For Results, Village Gym requires notification in the month prior to the last month of the initial commitment to avoid automatic roll onto a flexible agreement which requires 90 days paid notice thereafter. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Cooling-off (change of mind)
If the contract was made online or off-premises, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you a 14-day statutory cooling-off right. If you cancel during the 14-day period and Village Gym has started supplying the service with your express agreement, you must pay for the period used; otherwise you are due a refund. If you cancel within 10 days of your start date by changing your mind, Village Gym will charge your joining fee or a minimum of £15 if no joining fee was payable. See Joining FAQ for joining fee rules.
Negotiate or save
Before you cancel: how to negotiate
Village Gym states members who wish to change membership must contact the Member Services Team by the 20th of the month to alter their plan. Retention offers are not published as standard. If you want to keep a cheaper option, ask Member Services for: a downgrade to Off Peak Flexible or Peak Flexible, a bolt-on removal (for example remove Multi-Club bolt-on from from £5 per month), or temporary freeze information. Ask the agent for a written summary of the offer and the precise monthly price before accepting.
What cancellation saves you - example yearly maths
Example using a published Junior plan: Mini Members (Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bury, Portsmouth) cost £19.50 per month. Yearly cost: 19.50 x 12 = £234.00 per year. If you cancel a Mini Member at £19.50 and replace with a lower-cost alternative priced at £9.99 per month, the alternative annual cost is 9.99 x 12 = £119.88. Yearly saving: 234.00 - 119.88 = £114.12 per year.
Other published bolt-on costs: Multi-Club Access bolt-on from £5.00 per month (12 x 5.00 = £60.00 per year); Advance Booking bolt-on from £5.00 per month (12 x 5.00 = £60.00 per year). Under Fours Swim is £0 per month with a £5 joining fee.
Cheapest real alternative
Common low-cost alternatives in the UK market include The Gym Group from around £9.99 per month and PureGym from around £11.99 per month. Choose an alternative at the price point you need and compare total annual cost. Example: The Gym Group 9.99 x 12 = £119.88 per year.
Legal protections and escalation
Key laws and regulator
UK consumer law relevant to gym contracts includes the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) monitors unfair contract terms and hard-to-cancel subscriptions.
Cooling-off rights
If you signed your Village Gym contract online or off-premises, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you a 14-day cancellation right. If you cancel after the service started with your express consent, Village Gym may charge for the period used; otherwise you are due a refund.
Unfair terms and escalation
The CMA treats clauses that prevent cancellation for serious injury or illness as potentially unfair. If Village Gym refuses a reasonable early termination for accepted exceptional circumstances, raise a formal complaint. If the complaint is unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for next steps: Citizens Advice - cancelling a gym membership. For payments on a credit card, consider Section 75 or chargeback via your card issuer where applicable.
How to escalate
1) Complain in writing to Village Gym by email to [email protected] or by registered post to Village Gym, 100 Holdenhurst Road, BH8 8AQ Bournemouth.
2) If unresolved, get a written summary and contact Citizens Advice for dispute options.
3) Use bank chargeback or Section 75 for qualifying card transactions where appropriate.
What to do after cancelling Village Gym
Access and final billing
Confirm your final billing date and the last day you can attend the club. Village Gym requires the applicable paid notice period to run; your membership continues until the end date you were given. Keep proof of cancellation and any written confirmation.
Data and app access
Ask for confirmation of how your personal data will be handled and whether your Village Gym app access is removed immediately or at the end of the billing period. Request a copy of personal data if you want one under data protection rules.
Re-activation
If you rejoin later, current offers (for example no joining fee promotions) may apply. Village Gym publishes promotions and joining offers at Joining offers. Keep any confirmation of waived joining fees if you received one when joining.
Next steps and practical checklist
Use this checklist to make sure your cancellation is accepted and documented.
- Decide your cancellation reason and gather required proof (medical letter, proof of move, redundancy letter) if outside the initial commitment.
- Contact Village Gym by phone or email [email protected]; provide full name, membership number, home club and requested stop date.
- Ask for written confirmation of acceptance and the final billing date; keep all emails and call notes with dates and agent names.
- If you send a registered letter, keep the proof of postage and delivery receipt.
- Check final bank or card statement for any continued payments; if payments continue after the confirmed end date, contact your card issuer for chargeback or Section 75 if applicable.
- Save screenshots or PDFs of the membership terms: Membership terms.
