The Ethos
What do you mean by 'no contract'?
Exactly that. You are only obliged to pay for one month's membership by direct debit and after that you can cancel your membership at any time with your bank.
However, we do have an H2twelve membership which is a 12 month contract with your 13th and 14th month's free of charge.
Why do you have different monthly membership types and a pay as you use membership?
We believe in providing value for money and therefore we offer different membership types to give our members choice and to allow them to select the membership type that best suits their use of our club.
Membership
Can I trial H2 before joining?
Yes you can. Simply e-mail doyou@h2bikerun.co.uk requesting a free trial and the date you want your free trial to start.
Can I delay the start of my membership?
Yes, you can delay the start of your membership by up to 3 months. All you need to do is select the date you wish your membership to start and put this date in the start date in the join process.
Will I be issued with an H2 Bike Run membership card?
Yes, all monthly members will be issed with a membership card on their first visit to the club and this will give them access to the club and the locker room. All pay as you use members will be given a card for their visit which will give them access to the locker room.
Can I freeze my membership?
Yes, you can freeze your membership for £10.00 a month. Please ask the Crew to freeze your membership and it will be frozen immediately. To unfreeze your membership please ask the Crew to unfreeze your membership.
Please note that memberships can only be frozen for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three months. After this time your membership will be automatically unfrozen and your monthly direct debit returned to the normal payment.
Lockers cannot be frozen. You will be charged for your locker each month along with the £10 freeze charge.
Can I share or give my membership to somebody else to use?
No. Under no circumstances can you give or share your membership card with anybody else as it is unique to you. To protect the interests and ensure the safety of our valued, paying members, offenders will have their membership cancelled.
Is it possible to change my direct debit date?
No this is not possible. Your direct debit date is automatically set up as 12 days after your start date.
I haven't received my Welcome E-mail with my login details?
Your Welcome E-mail which includes your login details for your account is automatically e-mailed to you on completion of the join process. Sometimes this e-mail can be found in Spam or Junk mail. In the unlikely event of a Welcome E-mail not being received then please contact doyou@h2bikerun.co.uk immediately so we can arrange for this to be reissued to you.
I don't have a DD account do we accept cash or card payment?
Subject to the discretion of the General Manager at each club, we are able to accept cash or card payment for memberships.
How do I cancel my membership?
The cancellation process is very easy. All cancellations are processed immediately so no notice is required. All you need to do to cancel your membership is to cancel your direct debit with your bank. We also offer a freeze facility for £10.00 a month, which is much better value than cancelling and rejoining if you are going away for a month or two.
Can I pay up front for a year?
Yes you can and we can offer you a discounted rate. Please contact accounts@h2bikerun.co.uk and we can sort this for you.
When does the first month's payment come out of my bank account?
Your first payment will be processed 12 days after the joining process. This payment will include the joining fee and first month's payment. Future payments will be debited on the same day each month.
Can I cancel my membership within the first 7 days of joining and not pay any money?
Yes you can. Join up online and if you are not happy with the product or service within the first 7 days of joining then you can cancel your direct debit at your bank and no money will taken from your account.
Can I get a monthly invoice?
Yes. A monthly invoice is produced each month and members can view and download their invoices by logging in and viewing invoice history in the Account section of the members log in.
Can I change my membership type mid month?
Yes you can. All you need to do is log in to your account and click on upgrade or downgrade membership to make a change to your membership. A pro-rata charge will be collected by direct debit for any additional cost in the month for any upgrade. Your new monthly payment will commence from your next direct debit date following the end of the invoice period in which you made the change to your membership.
Can I downgrade to a pay as you use membership from a monthly membership?
Yes you can. We would advise all members to cancel their direct debit with their bank and then contact H2 to reinstate your lapsed membership to a pay as you use membership.
Can I rent a permanent locker?
Yes, all you need to do is either choose a permanent locker when joining up or you can add a permanent locker to your account by logging in to your account and selecting a permanent locker to rent.
How do I get a corporate membership rate?
We need a minimum of 5 members from a company to be able to offer a corporate rate. For all corporate enquiries please e-mail nmitchell@h2bikerun.co.uk
