If you are unable to attend a booking you need to cancel it as a minimum 2 hours before the activity starts.

As detailed in our terms and conditions https://oclactive.co.uk/membership-terms-and-conditions/ in section 2.2 we have a process to manage those people that book exercise classes and then do not turn up or cancel the session. When this happens, it can be frustrating for other customers that may have been unable to book a slot and the space goes unused. A Class Dishonour has been introduced and will mean if a customer books and fails to attend a class, and email notification will be sent outlining the infringement. In the future, as per the terms and conditions, we may introduce charges and the removal of booking rights until the charges are paid.

If you are a member and booking classes, please ensure you record your attendance when you arrive and if you are unable to attend then please make sure you cancel the booking (as a minimum of 2 hours before the activity starts).

One of the main changes we have made this year is to remove the active card. In the past we had two tiers of pricing with the ‘Standard’ pricing and our ‘Active Card’. With the majority of customers now needing to register and book activities we have removed the active card and simplified and harmonised the prices to Standard and Concessions (Concessionary prices provide a discount on the standard prices for those groups that are eligible i.e 65+).
