Trying to cancel gym membership due to unfair T&C's

trollgirl maybe you could ask the gym if you can be a member of the interview panel for all future job applicants for positions at the gym?

OK, in order to be fair to (and humour) the OP, I have browsed the OFT guidance. I cannot find anything that would imply that the contract in question is unfair.

OP, care to point out the relevant sections?

No you missed the bit that says staff that get employed have to stay there 1000 years (that proves how healthy the place can make you) before anyone leaves just to keep the customers that may only live 100 years if they're very lucky happy!!!!

I advise you all to read the Office of Fair Trading's publication ref 373 published in 2002 regarding Unfair Terms and Conditions in Health & Fitness Contracts. Which is available to view via their website. This document clear details what is regarded as unfair in contracts, I suggest you take the opporunity to educate yourselves!!! Why is all the emphasis put on me as the consumer. Why hasn't the gym stated in the contract that they have the option of changing the instructor - in which case I wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Because the T&C's are ambiguos and unfair and therefore not binding.

Your just making yourself look more and more ridiculous!!!
so when ever any instructor takes up a job, thats it they are stuck there for life is basicly what your saying?!?
I think your more in need of educating yourself than anyone else here, don't come on quoting from the OFT's publications, it doesn't apply in your case and is advisory only anyway!!!
If your so bothered (infatuated) with your previous instructor and they are soooooo wonderfull then you wont mind buying yourself out of your current contract and following this instructor (victim) wherever they have gone.
Have you ever thought that they were sick of you and left the job to get away from you, you stalking nutter!!!!!

I went to Sainsburys today to do my shopping but my favourite checkout girl wasnt there, when asked I was told she left. Have I got cause for complaint? I have a good mind taking my shopping back and getting my money back

Does OP fancy this guy then sounds like it? You are a joke a minute but keep up with the fun

I think we need a sticky called "101 ridiculously flimsy excuses to get out of gym memberships".

1. I only joined the gym because the instructor was ginger.I am ginger.Now she's left I feel I am a minority .(He he-no I am not ginger before you start)

LOL. Is this person for real?

People should read there contract before signing it, its almost every day posted on here people trying to get out of gym contract, what did people do before there were gyms on every street, most did physical work so didnt need to pay gym fees. Oh and didnt eat all the pies

PS I am joking

I think the OP does have grounds for getting a refund as she clearly was 'not of sound mind' when she signed the gym contract!

The terms and conditions of the contract were there before you signed it. If they were unfair why did you sign it?

So anything they don't list specifically as being part of the contract is grounds for getting out of the contract? Maybe they can have a 1000 page contract guaranteeing they won't change the colour of the walls in the changing room, the brand of coffee in the vending machines, the wattage of the light bulbs in the gym, the.........
