No shows and late cancellations have been a problem for a while now, taking up valuable places on popular classes and sessions, so we're making it mandatory to have to cancel in good time.
We've introduced this to ensure that classes and sessions are fully attended, meaning everyone can get the most from their membership.
*See our FAQ's section for specific criteria.
1️⃣ Cancel your booking at least 60 minutes before the start time, either via our app, by logging in to your account at www.activenottingham.com, or by calling 0115 8761600.
2️⃣ Make sure you swipe in at site for every session as this records your attendance.
3️⃣ Only book what you know you can attend.
If you fail to do this, a 'strike' will be added to your account. If you collect 3 strikes during a 30 days period your booking privileges will be blocked for 7 days.
The good news is, we're playing fair, to make sure you can too, by currently running a grace period.
So for now, you'll receive an email reminder if you miss a session, or didn't cancel in time, we'll be waiving the 'strike' and it won't be added to your account.
We've listened to your feedback about "no-shows", which can mean half-empty classes and disappointed customers who weren't able to book on.
We launched a NEW Leisure Management System on 14 June 2023, to allow you to get used to the changes with the new system we are implementing a short grace period. So although you’ll receive an email reminder that you missed a session, or didn’t cancel in time, we’ll be waiving the ‘strikes’ and you won’t be blocked from booking classes, for now. We’re playing fair to make sure you can too.
The accepted ways to cancel your booking are either:
If you don’t cancel within 30 minutes of the start time of your booking or fail to attend, a ‘strike’ will be applied to your Active Nottingham account. If you get 3 strikes within a 30 day period your booking privileges will be blocked for a period of 7 days. You will receive an email advising that you failed to attend a pre-booked session, and also that you cannot make any bookings. When the 7 days period has ended you’ll receive an email to advise you can make bookings again.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances will mean you are, occasionally, unable to cancel in time (which is why we have also reduced the cancellation time from 3 hours to 30 minutes) – where this happens you should advise us at the earliest opportunity. We will take emergencies into account at our discretion.
We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions of any of our membership packages especially to ensure that customers receive fairer opportunities to access services. Our full Terms and Conditions are available.
