    Reach out to us

    We love to have a chat with all of our new sign ups, so after you join send us a message to say hi!

  • Yes, absolutely. We don’t believe in long-term contracts, so all of our memberships are on a monthly-rolling basis. In short, that means if you message us before you membership renews, we will stop your next payment going through (minimum of 24 hour notice required).

    Cancellations are quick and easy - simply send us an email/message and we will sort everything from our side. When you cancel you will not be charged again.

  • Currently there are no formal group/family discounts on offer, however, exceptions have been made which make it cheaper for teenagers to attend classes along with their parent/guardian who is an existing member. If you think this could apply to you feel free to get in touch!

    Arrangements are made on a case by case basis.

  • You must be at least 16 years old to be able to sign up and train by yourself.

    Those who are younger than 16 (and older than 13) are also welcome to train - provided they are fully supervised by a guardian or parent and permission has been directly granted by us. In such cases we usually recommend they attend classes along with a parent/guardian where they can also benefit from the supervision of a qualified coach.

  • Of course! We are strong believers in ‘try before you buy’ and we’re always happy to chat and discuss your training needs. You’re more than welcome to come down and trail a class before signing up.

    You must contact us before coming down as there is no guarantee someone will be there to get you sorted. Simply send us a message, and we’ll schedule a time for you.
