SIR – Re: A Cross’s letter “Beware Perils of Gym Membership” of November 3, I totally agree that many gyms have a terrible reputation for caring about revenue and not members.
However, not all are like that. Positive Step ladies- only gym in Charles Street, Worcester, has not only honoured yearly memberships paid to the original owners, but have this month cancelled all direct debits because of the lengthy contracted subscription periods.
These have been replaced by standing orders, transferring full control to the member. These can be cancelled at any time, with no penalty. Also it is paid directly to the gym, rather than a third party.
