FAQ – Membership

When will my membership restart if I have Frozen?
Your membership can be used to access centres from our opening date.

Please contact the pool on 01639 851583 to restart your membership.

I have a question about my membership, who do I contact?
Please email you enquiry to contact@llandarcysport.co.uk or phone us on 01639 851583 Please bear with us if response times are a little slow as we are hard at work bringing facilities back and still operating on reduced staffing levels.

I have cancelled my membership, can I re-join?
We are aware that some members may have cancelled their direct debit with the bank or via Legend. You can re-join by contacting us at contact@llandarcysport.co.uk or call 01639 851583.

I am not ready to return to the gym yet, what are my options.
We will be offering all members to continue freezing membership subject to our terms and conditions. Please contact us on contact@llandarcysport.co.uk or 01639 851583.

I would like to cancel my membership; how do I do this?
We’re confident we’ve made all of the changes necessary to keep you safe in our facilities, but we also understand that for many reasons some members may not wish to return.
