Gym increase?

Options
Hi All,

Just abit of advice

I joined a council run gym in September last year, its a couples membership so me and my best friend are on it (dont ask!)

It was a 12 month contract with a no cancellation clause

Anyway they have written to us both saying that the prices are due to increase on the 1st April.

I dont see how this is fair considering we entered into a 12 month contract at a specific price. Its only £3/4 increase each per month but its the principle.

Is it worth writing to them?

Natwest Overdraft: £1600; Natwest Loan: £1000; Credit Card: £500; Hire Purchase: £2500

April 2013:
Natwest Overdraft: £0 - cancelled!; Natwest Loan: £0 - paid off!; Credit Card: £0 - paid off!; Hire Purchase: £1200 - getting there!

    I just cancelled my gym membership a few days ago following a 10% increase. There was usually a 3 month cancellation period, but there was a clause in the contract saying this is not enforced if they increase prices.

    So check your contract or ask them!
