Governance

Club Rules

We want everyone to have a great time whilst using the club. To make that happen we need a little help from you, our members, and guests. Please check out the guidance below and make sure you’re doing all you can to keep the atmosphere fun, the faces around you friendly, the spaces around you safe and the club easy to fit into. Please note that the rules pertaining to Kids, Swimming Pool, and Health Suite areas apply specifically to our family clubs or clubs where these amenities are available.

Guests

We love welcoming new faces into our clubs. To make sure we look after all our guests properly, unless you have a guest pass, all guests will need to pay for their visit and provide full details to access the club. ID must be shown and under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult in the club. All guests must follow our club rules and safety guidelines. We reserve the right to refuse admission.

Kids

We love welcoming your little ones and invite them to enjoy the pool with you and specific fitness classes during children’s hours. Under 16’s need to be accompanied by an adult.

Best Behaviour

Be considerate and look after yourself whilst you’re enjoying the club. If another member or staff consider that your conduct goes against our guidelines, or endangers yourself or others, you will be asked to stop or leave by a member of our team. If you ignore a warning, you will be asked to leave, either temporarily or permanently. We don’t like doing this, so we’d ask you to be reasonable so we can all enjoy being here together.

Swimming Pool

  • We know swimming is exciting, but for your own safety, please avoid running, jumping or diving in the pool area. If you’re asked to stop doing something by our staff, it’s so you don’t hurt yourself or others, so please listen.
  • We politely ask that adults and children only wear conventional swimwear in the pool. Also, babies and toddlers who are not yet toilet trained should wear an aqua nappy to avoid any unwelcome accidents.
  • Hygiene: please take a shower before you swim and do not swim if you have any signs of any illness or anything contagious avoid the pool if you have verrucae, athlete’s foot etc.
  • We’ll ask you nicely to refrain from using large inflatables, buggies and any other items that are considered to be impacting the enjoyment of the pool by other members. Also please keep your mobile phones in your locker.
  • Check out the pool timetable so you know when different sessions are happening, when the pool may be closed for lessons etc.
  • Pool safety. One adult can mind up to 3 children. Under 12’s must have an adult in the water with them. 12 to 15’s need to have an adult (18+) present in the pool area. For changing, once a child reaches the age of 8,we ask that they use their own sex changing rooms. And please follow the pool area guidelines displayed.

Fitness Areas

  • Proper fitness footwear is essential for your safety and the hygiene of the club.
  • Wipe down equipment after use, rerack any weights or other equipment you’ve taken out where they belong and make sure you haven’t left any of your belongings behind.
  • Exercise safely: please do not use a piece of equipment if you are unsure how to use it; if you proceed to use the equipment, it’s on the understanding that you are taking responsibility for your own safety. If you don’t know how to use it, ask one of our friendly instructors to help or read the instructions on the machine. We strongly recommend that everyone books in to meet a trainer when they join.

Health Suite areas

  • Please read and comply with the health and safety information displayed in this area, for your own well being and that of others.
  • Please take a quick shower before and after using the area.
  • Please refrain from shaving, exfoliating, applying oils or doing anything that is best kept to your own bathroom for hygiene reasons.

Phones & Photography

Mobile phones are prohibited for use in the changing rooms, spas, and swimming pool areas. Please respect other members right to privacy and to work out without being recorded or photographed. Please don’t take photos or record videos that contain the personal data of others.

Lockers

Keep your belongings safe in a locked locker whilst you work out. And then please remember to take everything away with you afterwards. Belongings left in lockers overnight or left around the club will be removed and disposed of.

Lost property

Everyone mislays things from time to time, so we’ll keep anything valuable left behind for 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to come and get it from reception. When the two weeks have elapsed, we’ll no longer have the space in the club to keep unclaimed belongings. We do not keep certain items for hygiene reasons.

Safety First

  • Alcohol and illegal substances are prohibited anywhere on the premises. Should a member of the team suspect that you may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will be asked to leave and your membership will be suspended or revoked.
  • Any form of smoking or e-cigarettes are prohibited.
  • No pets are allowed in the clubs, although assitance dogs are of course welcome.
  • Please do not bring or use glass or food into the changing, fitness and pool areas of the club.
  • Please do not touch the fire doors unless there is an emergency. In case of emergency, proceed to your nearest exit which is clearly marked.
  • Children must be supervised by an adult.
  • Verbal or physical abuse, threatening behaviour and any other forms of aggression towards our team or other members will be not be tolerated.

By joining Galova Limited (trading as Gym Plus Cork); Mandabe Limited (trading as Gym Plus Naas); Prime Fitness Limited (trading as Gym Plus Ashbourne, Rathfarnham and Swords); Prime Fitness (Ballsbridge) Limited (trading as Gym Plus Ballsbridge); or Prime Fitness (Drogheda) Limited (trading as Gym Plus Drogheda) collectively the Gym Plus Group (“Gym Plus”, “we” or “us”), the member agrees to comply with these Terms and Conditions of membership (“Terms and Conditions”) and the Club rules. You will only be permitted to use the facilities at whichever of the Gym Plus clubs you have joined as a member of (the “Club”) within the scope of your membership category. These Terms and Conditions apply to your membership and use of the Club. The Club reserves the right to reject any application for membership for any reason in its sole discretion. No reason need be given by the Club for such rejection.

Duration:

When you join Gym Plus, you are agreeing to remain a member for a period of 3 calendar months (“the Commitment Period”), subject to extension if placed on freeze. Monthly memberships will continue to renew automatically after the Commitment Period end date. If you choose to join the Club by paying your Commitment Period membership fee in advance, your Club membership will terminate automatically on the expiry of the Commitment Period. An email informing you when your membership is due for renewal will be sent to all 12-month upfront members 1 month prior to the date that the membership is due for renewal. This email will include details regarding the cost of renewal and the renewal date.

Fees and charges:

The Club will set the level of fees and reserves the right to change the level of fees from time to time at its sole discretion. The following fees prevail:
a) Membership Fee: The level of membership fees shall be determined according to the type and
category of membership.
b) Joining Fee: A joining fee is payable as specified in your membership form.
c) Guest User Fees: A guest user fee is payable as a one-off fee for a guest to use the Club and its facilities on one occasion.

If you sign up for a membership online and change your mind, there is a cooling off period of 14 days from your join date by which to cancel your membership. If you no longer wish to stay a member and have not used the Club, you may cancel your membership with immediate effect by emailing membership@gymplus.ie and your payment will be refunded. If you have used the Club, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee for your gym usage during this period. In all other instances, Membership Fees, Joining Fees, and Guest User Fees are not refundable.

We will inform you if your bank fails to make a payment from your account. You may settle the balance at the Club’s reception, or online through the Gym Plus app, or on the client portal. If the debt remains outstanding, we will apply to your bank for payment again throughout the month at various intervals. If this is not paid your debt will remain on the Gym Plus system. As a result of this, you will be unable to use or re-join Gym Plus without settling this debt.

If you choose to pay your membership fees monthly, we only offer debit or credit card recurring payments. You can amend your card details 72 hours in advance on the Gym Plus app or the client portal link. It is your responsibility to update your account to reflect any changes. We may at any time engage the services of a third-party payment processing agent or platform, such as Stripe, to process payments.
All Club Membership Fees and other fees are reviewed periodically. We will give you at least 1 month’s notice of any changes to fees.

Suspension of Membership:

You may request suspension (freeze) for a continuous period of at least 1 month and a maximum of 3 months upon 15 days written notice to the Club. You understand a monthly charge of €10 will be charged by the Club during the suspension period(s). Any suspension that occurs during the Commitment Period will result in an extension of the Commitment Period for the same amount of time as the suspension was in effect. A member can only freeze their membership for a maximum of three months in any 12 month period. Should you request to cancel your membership while it is on suspension, the suspension will be removed, and your cancellation will be processed in accordance with the Club’s standard 30 days notice period.

Termination:

Termination by the Club:
We may terminate these Terms and Conditions in the following circumstances:
a) if you commit a serious or repeated breach of these Terms and Conditions or the Club’s rules of membership and the breach, if capable of remedy, is not remedied within 7 days of receipt of a default notice;
b) if any part of your membership fee remains unpaid 30 days after its due date for payment; or
c) if you provide us with details which you know to be false when applying for membership and the false declaration would have reasonably affected our decision to grant you membership.

Termination by you:
You may terminate these Terms and Conditions in the following circumstances:
a) You may give written notice at any time during your commitment period to terminate your contract at the end of
your commitment period, provided that the written notice is given at least 30 days in advance of the end of you commitment period. If there are fewer than 30 days remaining before the end of your commitment period, your contract will terminate at the end of the 30 days from the date you provide your written notice.
b) You may terminate a monthly membership by giving the Club at least 30 days written notice so that your membership will terminate at the end of the following calendar month after notice was given. Please send an email to membership@gymplus.ie to start the process.
c) You may also terminate these Terms and Conditions if:
d) We permanently reduce the facilities or opening hours of the Club;
e) We change the location of the Club; or
f) We close the Club for refurbishment for a period of more than 30 days at a time.

Cancelling your payment instruction for the payment of fees will not be deemed to be a termination of these Terms and Conditions and you will be liable for outstanding debts to Gym Plus.

Access Control:

To access the Club you must record your visit by scanning your personal QR code which you access through the Gym Plus app. In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible to purchase an access fob which will be charged at a price of €3. Membership is not transferable and any member who allows his/her/their access code to be used by another person is in serious breach of these Membership Terms and Conditions and will entitle the Club to terminate membership without notice. If a membership fob is lost, it should be reported to the Club. The Club reserves the right to charge an administration fee for the provision of a replacement membership fob.

Club Rules:

The Club may amend the Club Rules from time to time in order to ensure the health and safety of members.

Opening Hours:

The Club’s opening hours, as amended from time to time, are displayed at the Club reception.

The Club reserves the right to adjust the opening hours, and availability of certain facilities or close the Club on a temporary basis for the general purpose of cleaning, decorating, essential repairs, maintenance of equipment, special functions and holidays.

Limitation of Liability:

The Club will not accept liability for any loss, damage to or theft of money, valuables or other personal property of members and/or guests. Property stored in lockers provided by the Club is stored at the owner’s risk and no liability for loss or damage thereto will be accepted by the Club. Lockers may be hired for monthly or yearly use for a fee based on the Club’s fees in place from time to time. If a locker is not hired, then it may only be used on a daily basis and must be emptied by the user before leaving the Club.

The Club accepts liability for damage, accident, death, personal injury or other loss sustained by members and/or guests on the Club premises that is reported to the Club immediately or as soon as is reasonably practical to the extent caused by the Club’s negligence or the negligence of its employees and agents (during the course of their employment and agency, as appropriate) unless that failure is attributable to:
a) Your own fault;
b) A third party unconnected with our provision of services under these Terms and Conditions; or
c) Events which neither we nor our supplier could have foreseen or forestalled even if we had taken all reasonable care.

The exclusions and limitations of liability set out in these Terms and Conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and will not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Health & Safety:

Members must read all Health and Safety notices displayed in the Club and comply with their recommendations. The member acknowledges that they are in good health and are not suffering from any illness or disease. Members exercise at their own risk. We advise that all members check with a medical professional in advance of starting a new exercise routine or regime. The facility health screening questionnaire must be completed in advance of using the facility.

We request that members ask Club staff for assistance if they are unsure about how to use any piece of equipment. Our staff are happy to assist and we recommend that you request a run-through of how to use the equipment at the beginning of the membership period.

Sale of Club:

In the event of the sale or disposal of the Club to another company or to any other person we may transfer your membership to the new owner and you will continue as a member of the Club and continue to pay your membership fees provided no changes to these terms or the Club rules having a material adverse effect on your use of the Club are made by the new owner.

Special categories of personal data and data related to children

In addition to basic identification and demographic data, Health Data is collected as needed when a  child is being added to our swim programme and the swim lesson teaching portal. This is to help ensure  our instructors are aware of any health issues that might affect the delivery of the lesson or require  special arrangements to be made for the child. This information is deleted 6 months after lessons cease,  or sooner by request.

Personal data relating to children will not be subject to profiling of automated decision-making and is  not used for marketing purposes.

Change of purpose  

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably  consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original  purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible  with the original purpose, please contact us at dataprotection@gymplus.ie. If we need to use your  personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which  allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or  consent, in compliance with this Policy, where this is required or permitted by law.

How long we keep your information. 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for,  including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This means  that the period of time for which we store your personal data may depend on the type of data we hold.  To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and  sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your  personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve  those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For more information  about our data retention policies please contact us at dataprotection@gymplus.ie.

Disclosure of your information 

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose  information to third parties if you consent to us doing so as well as in the following circumstances:

You agree that we have the right to share your personal information with the following recipients  or categories of recipients: 

  • Any department or authorised person within our company or any member company within our  group.
  • Selected third parties including:
  • business partners, suppliers, instructors and sub-contractors for the performance of any  contract we enter into with them or you in relation to the Services;
  • analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation  of our Site;
  • credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score to the extent this  is a condition of us entering into a contract with you.

We will disclose your personal information to third-party recipients: 

  • in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your  personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of our business or assets.
  • if Gym Plus or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal  data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any law,  legal obligation or court order, or in order to enforce rights under the GDPR or other  agreements.
  • to protect our rights, property or safety, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging  information with other companies and organisations for the maintenance and security of the  Site and Services.

How we look after your information 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being  accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit  access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have  a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are  subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you  and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your rights relating to your personal information 

Accessing your Personal Data 

You may request access at any time to a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Any such request  should be submitted to us in writing and sent to dataprotection@gymplus.ie. We will need to verify your  identity in such circumstances and may request more information or clarifications from you if needed to  help us locate and provide you with the personal data requested.

There is usually no charge applied to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).  However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable  fee. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Right of Restriction. 

You may restrict us from processing your personal data in any of the following circumstances: • you have contested the accuracy of the personal data we hold on record in relation to you or  for a period of time to enable us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

  • the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request the restriction of use of the  personal data instead of its erasure;
  • we no longer require your personal data for the purpose of processing but you require this data  for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • where you have contested the processing (under Article 21(1) of the GDPR) pending the  verification of our legitimate grounds.

Corrections or Erasure (Right to Rectification and Right to Be Forgotten) 

If we hold personal data concerning you which are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they  were collected or if you withdraw consent for us to process your personal data, you can request the  deletion of this personal data. This right, however, will not apply where we are required to process  personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or where the processing of this information is  carried out for reasons of public interest in the area of public health. If the personal information we hold  about you is inaccurate, you may request to have your personal information updated and corrected. To  do so at any time, please contact us by email at dataprotection@gymplus.ie.

Your Right to Object 

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time:

  • for direct marketing purposes;
  • for profiling to the extent it relates to direct marketing; and
  • where we process your personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us,  except where we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for this processing which  would override your interests, rights and freedoms or in connection with the enforcement or  defence of a legal claim.

To exercise your right to object at any time, please email dataprotection@gymplus.ie.

Should this occur, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless doing so is  justified by a compelling legitimate ground as described above. For more information about our  marketing practices, please see the Marketing Communications section below.

Data Portability 

Where we process your personal data by automated means (i.e., not on paper) and this processing is  based on your consent or required for the performance of a contract between us, you have the right to  request from us a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format  and, where technically feasible, to request that we transmit your personal data in this format to another  controller.

Profiling 

Profiling is an automated form of processing personal data often used to analyse or predict personal  aspects about an individual person. This could relate to a person’s performance at work, economic  situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location, or movements. An example of  this would be where a bank uses an automated credit scoring system to assess and reject a loan  application.

You have the right to be informed if your personal data will be subject to automated decision-making,  including profiling. You also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated  process, including profiling, where that decision impacts on your legal rights. There are some  exceptions to this rule, where, for example, the decision is necessary in connection with the  performance of a contract between us, is authorised by law or where you have given your explicit  consent to this automated processing. In this case, however, we do not engage in profiling or automated  processing for profiling purposes. 

Personal Rights 

The rights described in this section are personal rights and are exercisable only by the individual person  (or data subject) concerned.

Marketing Communications 

General 

We will not use your data to send marketing communications to you about promotions, competitions,  updates and new products or services that may be of interest to you unless we have your permission  to do so.

Your right to object 

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for our marketing purposes. To  object or if you change your mind at any later time, you can withdraw your consent to the processing of  your personal data for such marketing purposes by contacting us at dataprotection@gymplus.ie. You  may also opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by selecting the unsubscribe option  when you receive an electronic marketing communication from us. The withdrawal of your consent will  not impact upon the lawfulness of processing based on your consent prior to the withdrawal.

Acceptance of these terms 

By taking out a membership, filling in a contact form on our Site or using a mobile app we provide to  you, you agree and accept that we may gather, process, store and/or use the personal data submitted  in the way we outline in this Policy.

To the extent any processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right  to withdraw your consent at any time unless by doing so you prevent us from delivering the Service set  out in your membership agreement. To withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data,  please write to dataprotection@gymplus.ie.

I acknowledge that participation in lessons does not guarantee water safety. It is understood that the activity involves an element of risk and danger of accidents. By enrolling in swimming lessons I am accepting these terms and conditions at Gym Plus.

I agree to abide by the policies, procedures and Gym Plus club rules presented as they ensure a positive experience and safety for myself, my child, and other customers.

From time-to-time Gym Plus may need to cancel a swim lesson. You will be notified of any cancellation to the lesson by email or text and the missed lesson will be credited to your account. Gym Plus does not offer refunds or credits for missed lessons however, in accordance with their sickness policy, credit can be applied in many cases where a doctor’s cert is produced or exceptional circumstances. Please email the Doctor certificate to Swim@gymplus.ie as soon as the lesson is missed so that a lesson credit can be applied.

Group Lessons

To secure group swimming lessons, payment must be made monthly in advance by recurring card on our software Perfect Gym. Payment is taken on the 23rd of the existing month for the following month. If payment does not go through, please pay the outstanding amount through the Gym Plus client portal or at reception. Additionally, we will reattempt to collect on the card throughout the month. If payment is not made within 5 days, your child will be regrettably removed from the programme.

Monthly payments for swim lessons will be automatically collected from the debit or credit card registered on your account. The payment will appear on your bank statement under the following names, depending on your location:

  • Drogheda: Prime Fitness (Drogheda) Ltd
  • Naas: Mandabe Ltd
  • Rathfarnham & Ashbourne: Prime Fitness Ltd
  • Swords: Prime Fitness (Swords) Ltd

To cancel swimming lessons for the following month, please email swim@gymplus.ie by the 15th of the current month.

Private 1:1 swimming lessons

To keep your private lesson time slot, we require you to keep your account in credit, otherwise this time will become available for others to book. A minimum of three lessons consecutive must be booked. To secure my child’s private swim lesson payment must be made at time of booking.

If you need to cancel a Private Lesson?

We kindly ask you to contact us directly by email to cancel your lesson with more than 12 hours in advance of the class time. This will result in a 50% credit being applied to their account. Cancellation of a private lesson with less than 12 hours’ notice will result in full charge of the lesson cost.
