UWL Sport and Fitness Centre Closure – Coronavirus
On March 19 2020, following the closure of the St Marys road campus and government guidelines we temporarily closed the doors of the UWL Sport and Fitness Centre.
For monthly Direct Debit members, we have automatically stopped your payments so there is nothing for you to do. When our gym is back open, we will credit your first payment by any outstanding amount from your current monthly subscription.
For paid in full upfront members, we have automatically frozen your accounts and will be crediting your membership for the period that we are closed.
At the UWL Sport and Fitness Centre, the health and safety of our members, colleagues and staff is our no.1 priority. While the closure of your centre is a difficult situation for us all, we will continue to do everything we can to help our members. While we are closed, we will work hard to ensure your club is clean, safe, and ready for your return. We are looking forward to welcoming you back.
FAQ’s
I paid for my membership upfront how will I be refunded?
We will be crediting the time we are closed onto the end of your membership; this will happen automatically when we reopen.
Will my membership be frozen now that the gym is closed?
Your membership fees will be frozen and we won’t be collecting your direct debit until we can re-open. Please check your email for regular updates regarding re-opening and alternative ways to stay fit, healthy and active during this time. Please bear with us, we know you will have a lot of questions and we will keep you regularly updated as soon as we can.
I’ve cancelled my pay monthly membership instead of freezing, what should I do?
We’ll be waiving the joining fee for the first week that we re-open in order for who may have cancelled their direct debit without knowing about the freeze.
If I want to cancel, will my April payment be cancelled?
We will be freezing all payments on your membership, so you do not have to worry about any further money coming out of your account. Freezing your membership gives you total peace of mind but will also give you access to a wide range of online content that we will be launching soon to you via email and on our social channels.
Will we be refunding members with Direct Debits from 19th March until 31st March 2020?
We credit your membership, to take into account the period of time from 19th March - 31st March. This credit will come into play once we reopen
I’ve cancelled my pay monthly membership instead of freezing, what should I do?
We’ll be waiving the joining fee for the first week that we re-open in order for those who may have cancelled their direct debit instead of freezing their membership for the period.
When will you re-open?
Unfortunately, we are not 100% sure on the date that this will be, in line with COVID-19 and the Governments recommendations for gyms and leisure facilities to close. We will however contact all members 7days prior to opening in order to make you aware of when your direct-debit will restart as well as when and how our facilities will open again.
If I have any questions or queries, where do I go ?
Please email su.gym@uwl.ac.uk and we will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
