Gym Rules - What We Expect Of Our Members

Reserve classes in advance of attendance.
Attend any class for which you have reserved a spot, or cancel your spot no later than two hours before the start of the class.

Late Cancellations
If you cancel a class after the cancellation deadline, you may still unregister to open up a spot for someone else, but this will still be counted against your membership usage limits and you will not receive a refund.

If you book off a class within 6 hours before the start of the class you will lose your credit for that session and this can not be refunded.

We understand things come up and sometimes this is unavoidable but unfortunately our booking system does not allow us access to amend credits. You will be able to register for another class in this time period, but this will debit another credit from your monthly allowance.

Please contact admin@method-training.co.uk or call us on 07450300737, if you have any problems with this. We will not be able to perform this service outside of our opening hours.

Nightly Blackout 11pm - 3am
This time does not count towards cancellation cutoff and waitlist spot expiration.
For example, if a member is registered onto a 6am class they must unregister from the session before 8pm the night before to not incur the burpee penalty. Waitlist spots do not expire during the nightly blackout period.

Arriving Late?
Method Training recognises that life happens, and there will be times that despite best efforts, you may arrive to the gym after your reserved class has started. If you arrive late, it is up to the Coach’s discretion on how to get you caught up for class, or if it’s best (safest) to wait for a later class. If you show a pattern of being late on a regular basis, it is up to the Business owner’s discretion if action, such as a week reservation penalty, needs to be taken.

Waitlist Settings
Auto registrations: For members who are current first on the waitlist if it is 6 hours before the start of a class, they will automatically be added to the class.

If it is less than 6 hours before the start of a class, members must accept their spot before it expires. You have a 30 minute time slot to accept your place on the class before it is offered to the next member on the waitlist. You will receive a SMS informing you of this.

For members who have registered for a class and also added themselves to a waitlist, if a spot becomes available on the preferred class you will not be automatically added due to a valid registration on another class.

Drop In Policy
We only allow class drop ins to non - members. You MUST have CrossFit experience before booking and attending a class. Open gym is not available to anyone who does not have an active membership with us.

If you wish to attend a class you must contact admin@method-training.co.uk and provide proof of a completed fundamentals/on ramp course, this can be from a previous or existing coach. We will then send you instructions of how to register for a class with us.

Unacceptable Behaviour
Everyone has the right to access the services of the Method Training without disturbance.

Our commitment is to deliver excellent service in a space that is welcoming and safe and we ask all our customers and visitors for their co-operation in maintaining this environment.

We also recognise the importance of striking a balance between providing an opportunity for the lawful expression of views and opinions and unacceptable behaviour and actions that affect our customers and visitors.

Some examples of unacceptable behaviour in these instances might include:

Using any foul, abusive, threatening, intimidating or discriminatory language or behaviour towards any employees, fellow members and/or visitors.
Harassing and/or bullying employees, fellow members and/or visitors.
Disorderly conduct which can include, but is not limited to, causing a disturbance, shouting, causing a nuisance to employees, members and/or visitors and/or otherwise hindering the day to day business of Method Training, its employees, members and/or visitors.
Congregating in the building and/or obstructing thoroughfares and emergency routes and access points and otherwise hindering the day to day business of Method Training, its employees, members and/or visitors.
Entering or attempting to enter restricted and/or non public areas of the building.
Recording or photographing people without their permission.
Failing to follow instructions of Method Training employees.
Method Training reserves the right to remove any person from its property and to take the necessary action to prevent any person/s from entering its buildings or property.

We want to have a reputation for providing a welcoming community for those coming to visit us.

Gym Attire

We require all attendees to wear suitable clothing and footwear when exercising (denim, bare feet, flip-flops or boots are amongst the range of clothing choices that is unsuitable). Any member not wearing suitable attire may be asked to leave the gym at the discretion of the management team.

Power Failure
This policy is intended to deal with unexpected power failures, usually of uncertain duration.

The main purpose of the policy is to provide:

Safety of employees, members and any visitors
Protection of electronic equipment and data
Protection of facility resources
Power failure falls into 2 categories, localized occurring only to the Company facilities or city/town wide.

Responsibility
In the event of a power failure, the Manager is in charge of emergency arrangements.

In their absence, the next senior employee, supervisor or shift manager should deal with the situation.

Unless there is evidence that the power failure will be of short duration, the gym should begin equipment shutdown procedures, 15 minutes after the failure occurs.

If the failure occurs during hours of darkness, shutdown procedures should begin and any ongoing classes/training should stop immediately and all members must leave via the well lit fire exits immediately.

Procedures When Power Failure Occurs
The fire exit signs will illuminate and battery operated lights turn on to allow employees/members to move to the doorways. Contact Maintenance/local operator and determine if the outage is on-site or nationwide.

If daylight hours are still current and visibility is clear, back up equipment will be introduced.

Bluetooth/battery powered speaker system will be used during class times.
