Keeping it black and white here are some legal stuff to keep all our members and visitors safe, and well informed. All members and guests of rileys gym must follow our policies which are part of the rileys gym membership agreement and have been prepared by our legal team. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the rileys gym policies which are part of your signed agreement.

Who needs to follow these policies?

Why do you need to follow these policies?

We’ve created these policies to ensure we create an enjoyable safe space for all members and guests of the gym whilst ensuring we maintain club standards.

What happens if I don’t follow these policies?

If you don’t comply, we may ask you to leave the gym, deny you gym access or terminate your membership, depending on the seriousness of the situation. We will always be fair when applying our policies however we need to ensure these policies are in play so that everyone can work out in an enjoyable, safe and comfortable environment.

Before you start

Talk to your doctor before starting a new fitness program or using the rileys gym facilities. Upon signing up and each time you use our facilities and services, you must ensure you are in good physical condition and know of no medical or other reason why you should not exercise. You must not use the rileys gym facilities if you are suffering from any illness, disease, injury or other condition that could be a risk to your health or safety or that of other members.

Membership

Every time you enter one of the rileys gym clubs, you must use your access tag to enter or present yourself to the staff at reception to sign you in.

Please note that no one else may use your access tag. If your access tag is used by someone else, you will be charged a fee on your account or we may suspend your membership.

If your membership fees haven’t been paid up to date, or your membership is on hold, suspended or terminated, club access will be denied until all outstanding amounts have been paid. Your membership may also be terminated if any fees remain unpaid for an extended period. You will still be liable for all unpaid amounts. A cancellation fee may also apply.

When signing a membership agreement, you commit to fulfilling out the term of the membership. Once that term is complete, your weekly debits will continue as the agreement moves into an out of term membership. Rileys gym reserves the right to cancel or update your membership once you are out of term.

Please note your membership is not transferable to another person unless approved by management first. A fee is involved in transferring the remainder of your term to another party.

All memberships which are paid upfront are non-refundable. All memberships paid upfront are not eligible for a membership hold.

Membership freeze

You may temporarily suspend or freeze your membership for any reason if your account is up to date. In any 12-month period, you may freeze your membership for a minimum of 2 weeks with a maximum of 12 weeks with a charge of $5 per week whilst your membership is frozen. The minimum term will be extended for the same time as the freeze period. Note that a membership freeze can not be backdated. All membership freeze requests will require a processing time from our admin staff and we will always endeavour to process your request within 48 hours.

Membership cancellation

You can cancel your membership at any time by visiting us in gym reception and completing the cancelation form. This applies to any member who would like to cancel for any reason, whether it be personal, medical or just for your convenience. If you are in term of your membership agreement, you will need to pay the fee which is listed on your contract for the remainder of the minimum term which will need to be settled in full. Once this is paid, your membership will be cancelled and the direct debit agreement will be ceased.

Access tag

If your access tag is lost or stolen, you will need to see our reception staff and organise a new one. A replacement fee will be charged for a new access tag.

Please note: access tags are non-refundable, exchangeable or able to be sold or transferred into another member’s name.

Access tags are non-transferable and cannot be recycled or reissued to another membership or member. A new access tag must be purchased with a new membership.

You will be provided with a copy of the direct debit payment agreement of the biller which applies to your direct debit service. Please note the direct debit payment agreement is separate to the rileys gym membership agreement.

If you do not pay your fees when they are due, your membership may be suspended until all outstanding amounts are paid.

You must ensure there is enough money in your nominated account on the usual payment, or the next working day if that falls on a day when banks do not process payments. If there is not enough money in your nominated account on the usual payment day, or there is another reason that your account was unable to be debited, you will be charged the biller’s administration fee.
