I could sign up for another gym in town for £20 per month. Why are you so much more expensive?
It’s an old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ but in this case it’s entirely true. Budget gyms definitely have a place in the market. If you’re a student, are filled with motivation AND know what you’re doing those places may work for you.
All of our members require & want a bit more personal care, attention, coaching & accountability. When you join UR you are not just a number & and anonymous face. You are part of the family & are treated as such (just check out many of our written & video testimonials on this website).
Our membership is capped at 150 so we can give personal care, attention AND know all of our members names. There is NO comparison with the service we provide & any of our perceived competition.
Why do you only want to work with people over 40 years of age?
James, the founder of UR has worked in the health & fitness industry for over 25 years & is himself in his late 40s.
For a long time he has enjoyed working with more mature clients & has steered the UR community in this direction over the last 16 years. We want to focus on health & longevity & these things are simply not important to most people in their teens, 20s & 30s.
By developing a community of like minded people we can get incredible results for our members & we stay focussed on what’s important to us; developing strong, mobile, healthy & resilient adults who are set up to deal with life in their 50s, 60s, 70s & beyond.
Can I move between the memberships if my circumstances or needs change?
Yes, of course. We just ask for as much notice as possible (ideally 1 calendar month) so we can make the required changes to your payments & booking system.
Do you offer a couple’s discount?
Our memberships are all priced fairly & offer great value so we do not offer any family or couples discounts.
We believe wholeheartedly in the service we provide & you will NEVER see us offering discounts to tempt in new members.
We would see that as disrespectful to our existing members (many of who have been with us for 10+ years).
How easy is it to book into classes?
It’s very easy. To book into classes you will need to download our booking system app called Quoox which will allow you to book classes for the next 7 days in the calendar. It’s also easy to cancel & amend bookings as well.
Do classes regularly get fully booked?
Some weekend classes get booked quite quickly, but other classes have plenty of room to book into freely throughout the week.
Do you have free parking available?
Yes; there is free parking anywhere on the Waterhouse Business Centre site. Between 9-5pm (Monday to Friday) you will need to pop a permit on your dashboard which you can pick up from the studio reception & keep using in your car for that calendar month.
Do you have changing/shower facilities?
We have 2 sets of showers & toilet facilities at the back of each unit. Both also have a hairdryer if you need to use it.
