    The Club Rules form part of the Club’s Terms & Conditions, these ensure that everyone feels welcome and your workouts go smoothly.

  • I’m a member, can I bring a friend?

    Of course! Your friend would need to purchase a membership or a day pass in order to have access to the gym floor (see details regarding day passes above). If that friend purchases a membership from us there may be referral bonus in it for you.

  • How do I book classes / sauna & steam room sessions?

    To book a class, just hop onto the ClubRight app (the one you use to gain access to the club), head over to “Make a Booking” and from there you can use the drop down menus to filter your booking options by activity.

    The Sauna & Steam room facilities are available to our Premium Members and Day Pass holders.

    15 minute sessions can be booked in via the ClubRight app. A maximum allowance of 2x 15 minutes applies per user per visit.

    Due to Day Pass holders not having access to the ClubRight app’s booking system, Day Pass holders can request to be booked in to use these facilities by giving us a call or chatting to us at the nutrition bar. We would recommend doing this well in advance to ensure availability.

    Safety inductions are available to all Members of the Club (whether new or otherwise). Members may request as many safety inductions as they wish and are responsible for reaching out to the Club to arrange these.

    Safety inductions are group sessions facilitated by a member of the fitness team who will demonstrate to members how to use gym equipment safely. All members are advised not to use any gym equipment they are unfamiliar with without partaking in a safety induction first.

    Inductions can be booked via the Safety Induction Request form on our website. A member of our fitness team will reach out to you to book you in for a slot.

    To process a cancellation you simply need to send an email to info@thebasementldn.com stating that you wish to have your membership cancelled, alternatively you can complete our Cancellation Request Form.

    Receipt of a valid cancellation notice will trigger a 30 day notice period, in which there would normally be one final payment date covering a final month of membership.

    Your direct debit will be requested on the same day of each month. The day will always be the same date as your membership start date unless you freeze your membership, the date your membership unfreezes will be the new recurring payment date.

  • What happens if I miss a direct debit payment?

    Don’t worry, these things happen from time to time. If your direct debit is still active, then we will re-attempt the direct debit around the middle of the month.

    If after a couple of attempts, we are unable to collect your monthly membership dues we will usually reach out to you to help get your membership back on track.
