If it is already fully booked when you request a booking, We can add You to a wait list for it.

A Fitness Class not booked (or rebooked) and taken within that period will be lost and, unless You cancel it and are entitled to a refund under these Terms and Conditions in that case, We will not refund any payment You have made for it.
7. Your request for a booking for a Fitness Class will be an offer, but whether We accept any booking will be for Us to decide in Our discretion.

9. We may treat a Fitness Class that You have booked as cancelled by You without notice to Us if You arrive after the start of the Fitness Class or You do not attend any of the Fitness Class.

15. Fitness Classes and prices are subject to change from time to time but We will try to give You as much prior notice as possible of any such changes.
16. We reserve the right to expel You from any Fitness Class if Your conduct is in Our reasonable opinion unacceptable, or is or may be in Our reasonable opinion, harmful to Our reputation, or if it amounts to Your breach of these Terms and Conditions, or where in Our reasonable opinion such expulsion is otherwise in the interests of others who are in that Fitness Class or who are in any other Fitness Class being held then or to be held subsequently. You will not be entitled to any refund for a Fitness Class started but not completed due to such expulsion.
