No smoking (including e-cigarettes and vapes) is allowed inside the Premises at any time. 180 reserves the right to prohibit or limit smoking in any area of the Premises at any time at its sole and absolute discretion.

180 reserves the right to designate certain outside areas of the Premises as smoking areas and to change the location of such areas at any time. However, all members and their guests are requested to respect the wishes of other members and their guests with respect to smoking, and to refrain from smoking when requested to do so.

27. Disciplinary procedure

Conduct by a member or guest that is prejudicial to the reputation and character of 180 may result in suspension or expulsion of such member or guest. Such conduct may include inappropriate, violent or abusive behaviour, or the communication of information concerning 180’s affairs, members or their guests in the Premises to the media. An expelled member may not return to the Premises as a guest. A refund of the expelled member’s subscription will be at the discretion of 180. Any member or members who wilfully remove, damage or destroy any property belonging to 180, or to members or guests on the Premises, will be liable to expulsion and/or suspension or termination of their membership.

Every member binds him/herself to abide by the rules, bylaws and regulations of 180 at all times upon acceptance as a member. If 180 considers that any member’s (or his or her guests) conduct either inside or outside of the Premises is, at its absolute discretion, contrary to the interests of 180, 180 may with immediate effect expel the member or guest from the Premises and/or suspend or terminate that member’s membership without having to give any reason to such member or guest.

28. Rights and privileges of membership

29. 180 trademarks

Members and their guests shall not use the names, logos, colours, trademarks, service marks, photographs, trade dress, or other identifying features of 180 and its affiliates (the '180 Marks') without obtaining the specific prior written approval of 180 as to the specific use.

You hereby expressly recognise that the 180 Marks are the valid, unique and exclusive property of 180, its parent, affiliates and/or subsidiaries. Members and their guests may not produce, use or create, or authorise others to produce, use or create, the 180 Marks for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, in any communications, marketing, advertising or other promotional materials (including, but not limited to, brochures, flyers, invitations and e-mail messages) that utilise the 180 Marks without 180's prior written consent.

30. Use of equipment and facilities


Bookings for use of any of the fitness equipment, areas or facilities available at the Premises are made in accordance with 180’s Bookings Policy. Any charges that may apply will be made clear at the point of sale or booking.

Use of any of the fitness equipment, areas or facilities available at the Premises is entirely at the individual’s own risk. Members are not permitted to bring guests to the 180 Health Club. Introduction sessions explaining how to safely and properly use the fitness equipment are available. You must not use any equipment or undertake any activity at the Premises unless you are satisfied that you are competent to do so in a safe and proper manner. You will also be required to complete a health commitment statement confirming that you are in good health and in a fit state to use our health clubs.

When using any equipment and facilities available at the Premises, you must take care to safeguard your own health and safety and that of other people. You will be solely responsible for any loss or injury that you cause to yourself, other persons, or to the equipment or facilities through your unsafe or improper use of the equipment or facilities. This includes your use of them while under the influence of alcohol or medication, or your failure to advise staff of a medical condition relevant to your use of the equipment or facilities.

31. Post

In exceptional cases, members may send personal post and packages to the Premises. This facility is only available to members if the member has made arrangements in advance with 180 and the general manager has agreed to accept post and packages on their behalf. All post sent to the Premises is sent entirely at the member’s risk and 180 shall not be liable for any loss, damage or destruction to any post or package. If post is not collected within a reasonable amount of time, 180 may dispose of it or return it to sender as it sees fit. If any customs, duties or handling charges are due, the member agrees all such costs will be borne by them.

32. Liability of 180

We provide secure lockers for the storage of personal items within the 180 Health Club during your visit and all reasonable efforts are made to provide a secure environment for our members. Nevertheless, the risk of theft, damage or loss of personal possessions cannot be eliminated entirely and we strongly advise you against bringing valuable items such as jewellery or large amounts of cash to the Premises.

If you leave your items in a locker overnight but do not have a yearly locker paid for, we have the right to remove your belongings.  We will hold your belongings for 1 week after which they will be donated to charity or destroyed.

All items brought into the Premises are brought and left entirely at the risk of a member, or his or her guests. 180, its servants and/or agents shall not be liable to any member or guest for any loss, damage or injury suffered by them or their property howsoever caused, save in respect of death or personal injury to a member or guest to the extent caused by the negligence of 180, its servants and/or agents. This is not intended to affect any mandatory rights a member or guest may have under local law that we cannot legally restrict or exclude.

33. Interpretation of the rules

In the event of any dispute arising as to the meaning or interpretation of these rules, the matter shall be referred to the Membership Committee, whose decision with respect to your membership shall be final and without appeal. These rules shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law and each member agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.

37. Assignment

180 may transfer this agreement to someone else: we may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

38. Severability

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force: Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

39. Delay

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later: If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the product or service requested, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
