    They key question really is if this was planned work or emergency? If planned, how far in advance were you told?

    The last gym I was a member of did some rolling closures so never was the whole place closed but the pool & wet spa were closed then reopened at the same time as half the studio space closing etc.  Certainly they gave over a months notice for the work and so if you were on a rolling contract you could serve your notice to pause/stop it for the couple of weeks without a pool (or whatever was important to you) and restart after..

    Had exactly the same thing with a gym a few years back and it all felt fair, reasonable and above board. This was a large gym on a huge industrial estate and half the memberships were corporate memberships from a number of PLCs, legal firms etc and didn’t hear any chatter about unfair terms or challenges to it.

    Did help they managed another facility, that had a gym and some classes but no pool, 5 miles down the road and allowed access to those that wanted it.
