What I mean is I disagree with these vendettas that have been started by a post on an internet forum.
Do we really know the full details of this? for all I know the OP is from a competitor company posting BS.

I was asking you to prove me wrong.

I have made no claims that I need to prove.
You on the other hand have.

You can't backup your own points but you expect others to.

Very strange response!!

I take it that the fact that you have avoided the questions asked and the fact you are now trying to pick holes in anything people have said that you do not know the answer to any of the questions and have made it up?

Shame as, if true, the comments you gave could have helped the OP but instead as they seem to be untrue it has not helped and maybe even hindered.

You make a statement then go off into the realms of the school playground.

Please give examples where the Disability Discrimination Act has been used to negate a commercial contract.

unfortunately the webpage you post up says this



so they are quite within their rights to claim this as they do not fall under the 'special rules' as you state.


Also as a aside to this - what about the person who breaks a limb? Do they get special dispensation from the get out of contract clause as they wont be able to use the gym either? Or someone else who has an illness that prevents them from attending the gym? Where do you actually draw the line?

in response to your query- i recently broke my ankle and after obtaining the doctors letter to state that i could not use the gym for a minimum of 2 months- they kindly accepted my application to cancel "on receipt of a £98 cancellation fee". Be it within their rights or not- it's an absolute disgrace!!!

Alright guys,

I can see the points of everyone here. Although, once entering a contract, you also agree to pay that no matter what happens. I'm a company director, and if someone signed my contracts, unless they had an amazing reason I would chase them. Because someone has agree'd to pay up. You can't legally go back on your word. Whats the point in contracts otherwise?

Some companies arn't nice, and some are, but they do pay a LOT of tax, which in turn pays for the people that decide not to work.

What I will say is I'm rather impartial considering Bannatynes are currently trying to get me into a court and give me a CCJ. But I signed when I was 17 blagh blagh blagh (and no I didnt lie about the age!) so I'm not going to kiss the mad scotsmans a** but, yes there is a way out of it.

I remember being told, and reading in the contract, If your injured and cannot medicaly use the gym for whatever reason, if you can provide a docters note saying that you can not exersise, then they'll cancel it or pause it.

Remember everyone, if you can't see that there are two sides to every story, then your going to end up on a path to nowhere. But personally, I'm on the side of, she signed it. But they do also need to make an allowance, I would say suspend it so no one looses out, bannatynes get their money and your mother gets her break for the minute.
