Cancellation & No Show Charges

If you change your mind, you can cancel your platform booking up to 3 hours before the start time without charge. Late cancellation will incur a £2 charge.

If you book a platform but do not attend you will be charged a no show fee. To ensure that the number of 'no shows' is limited, our no show fee is £3.

Please cancel your platform booking in advance when unable to attend. This saves you from being charged and gives another member on the waiting list the chance to book a platform.

Thank you for taking the time to read our usage rules. Your safety is our highest priority and we want you to feel confident training in this facility.
