3.2. During your membership you must pay the fees whether you use the gym or not (unless you have frozen your membership).

Unless you have chosen the '1 Class Pass', '5 Class Pass' or ‘10 Class Pass’ package or paid the discounted rate for 1, 3 or 12 months upfront as part of the 'Discount Membership' option, all monthly fees must be paid in advance every month by direct debit, unless otherwise agreed. Other payment methods may incur additional fees.

5. Failure to pay

In the event of a failure to pay an instalment by direct debit, or any other sum you owe to us, we will ask you to pay by cash, debit card or credit card and to give us your correct bank details. We may appoint a debt-collection agency to collect any payments you owe, and you may have to pay any costs associated with this, including court costs, or, we may choose to take the payment from your credit card or debit card using the credit card or debit card details you have given us.

6. Freezing membership

6.1. You may freeze your membership for between 1 and 12 calendar months for the following reasons only (for the avoidance of doubt, redundancy is not a valid reason to freeze the membership of the '1 Class Pass', ‘5 Class Pass’ or '10 Class Pass' or, during a 1 or 3 month, 'Discount Memberships'): Pregnancy; Illness or Injury. To freeze your membership due to injury please first book an appointment with your coach to discuss which training adaptations may still be available to you. We retain the right to ask for a doctor’s certificate to show you are unable to train (please note minimum freeze period is 1 month); Redundancy, and in all cases any request to freeze your membership must be made by email to chrissy@crossfitwrexham.com, if relevant attaching the doctor's certificate requested.

6.2. If we agree to freeze your membership, we will do so from the day of receiving the request to freeze. We cannot freeze it from an earlier date and will not refund monthly fees paid before the membership was frozen.

6.3. We will start your membership again, and start taking any direct debits, on the date you tell us you want your membership to start again.

6.4. We will not charge you membership fees while your membership is frozen. If you have chosen our '10 Class Plan’ we will extend the deadline for use of the classes by the number of full calendar months your membership has been frozen for. If we increase our prices during the period when your membership is frozen, you will have to pay any new prices that apply to your membership type when your membership starts again.
