Making payments
PAYMENTS AND PROCESSES
If you pay for a membership using our Goteamup system, we use GO-Cardless who will be the middle man to take the monthly transactions. This will then be paid to Urban Reform directly when everything is correct. This process helps to make refunds quickly if the client has made a mistake in the payment process.
Every package is set up as 12 month rolling, which means payments will be taken out on the date you requested monthly, you can stop this at any time by cancelling your Go Cardless and cancelling your membership with GOTeamup. You are not tied into 12 months and it is a rolling month by month payment. Payments are significantly reduced if you do pay for 6 month memberships which is also an option on our booking system.
Why is it 12 month rolling?
This saves you creating the same process every month when you set up a new package, and you can cancel at anytime, you are not tied into 12 months.

Pausing and refunds
As a monthly member, can I Pause for free?
As an Urban Reform member, you are eligible for 2-month’s free pause within a 12-month period. Once you add the pause, your membership will remain active up to your next payment date and then the pause will begin. The pause will end at the end of that billing month. You need to allow at least 7 days to apply the pause to hold an upcoming payment. You can remove the pause at any time, and you will be asked to pay a pro-rata portion of your monthly membership when you unpause so you can use the gym again straight away.

Cancellations and Bookings

Booking classes important things to know
We understand that at times you may not be able to attend a pre-booked activity, but to ensure everyone has a fair chance to book, we now charge a £4 non attendance fee for those that either cancel after 3 hours or who just do not turn up. Before any charge is put in place there will be a warning set on the system for your first cancellation without letting us know.
The fee will be introduced after extensive consultation with our clients and coaches, to ensure everyone in our community has a chance of attending our classes. Alongside this, we want to make sure our activities don’t run at a low capacity, even though other customers are in the waiting list but are unable to book a space.
We do make sure our members who are on the waitlist get priority and extra slots will be made available too.
Please remember too:
* Book your class via the GTU system
* Cancel on the system if you can not attend
* If you cancel within the 3 hour window before the cut off you will be charged £4.
* Process for this is there is a warning on the system and second time this triggers charges of £4
This will be refreshed every new month period
Other booking requirements:
We will turn anyone away who hasn’t booked on the system. If you would like to bring a friend who hasn’t been to UR before please message to urbanreformbookings@gmail.com and we will support them to book on the system.
If you can not book please message above for the team to resolve this for you.
We have a 30 minute window before the class that shuts and we will not allow for any further bookings when this window is closed. This is purely for class organisation, for numbers to be managed and clients can be fully supported.
Essential information:
For all first time attendees, waivers must be completed prior to attendance. If not they will not be able to train during this class and will be advised to complete the waiver/book on another class.
