Welcome to Republic of Fitness and thank you for trusting in Republic of Fitness to assist you on your Health & Fitness Journey.
Just a little bit of house-keeping:
Use of the gym
We want our members / day visitors to feel welcome and comfortable in the gym. We encourage all kinds of workouts. Move in whichever way makes you happy, but please be respectful to other gym users. Please put away your equipment after use and please wipe down equipment after use.
Please do not prop the front door open for any reason. If the gym is too warm you may raise the hanger door. Please ensure you pull this door down before leaving.
Access
You have been given permission to use the gym. Please do not bring anyone else into the gym without prior permission. You can speak to Yvonne or Matthew in the gym or message Yvonne (086 318 2897) to arrange to bring plus ones. We offer day passes and at times offer special offers for people who want to try out the gym. If you are found to be bringing non members into the gym without permission, it will result in immediate cancellation of your membership. Each person must scan into the gym themselves. Do not let anyone else into the gym. If they have a valid membership / pass, they will have a valid access code and will be able to scan themselves in.
Classes
If your membership includes classes, please book in to the sessions you would like to attend and please cancel your session should you no longer be able to attend in a timely fashion. If your gym membership does not include classes, but you would like to try a class to see if you'd like to include them in your membership, no problem, pop Yvonne a message (086 318 2897).
Membership Cancellations
If for any reason you wish to cancel your membership, please notify Yvonne via WhatsApp on 086 318 2897.
As we do not charge a joining fee, we require a minimum of 7 days' notice before your next billing date when cancelling your membership. If less than 7 days' notice is given, your membership may roll over into the next 4-week billing period.
Our memberships operate on a rolling 28-day basis with no minimum membership term.
Please note that memberships cannot be frozen, paused, or put on hold once they have started. If you no longer wish to continue your membership, you must cancel it by providing at least 7 days' notice before your next renewal date.
