Pausing Memberships - What you need to know
At Gymnasium, we know life doesn’t always go to plan — injury, family, work, or personal circumstances can mean you need to take a break from training. Or you may be looking to take a break whilst travelling or for holiday.
Our pause policy is designed to support you while keeping things fair, consistent, and easy.
