FAQs

GENERAL

This is a fantastic offer, what is the catch?

Well there isn’t one. Our aim is to provide the very best gym with ALL of the frills at the most affordable price possible. 

Will The Gym be staffed?

McCaulay’s gyms are always fully staffed for your safety. Unlike other low cost gyms we always have staff on site and don’t rely on someone watching CCTV somewhere else in the country!

What does 'no contract' mean?

Exactly that. You must pay for one month’s membership by direct debit and after that you can cancel at any time providing you give a minimum of one months’ notice. To cancel, please contact Ashbourne at https://ashbourne-memberships.com/member-portal or text HELP to 60777 and they will process your request. We also offer 12 month agreements; this option ties you in for 12 months. However, the monthly fee is less than the no agreement option.
