These Terms & Conditions form the agreement between Lil Gym Ltd ("Lil GYM", "we", "our" or "us") and the Member ("you"). By purchasing a membership, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
Membership
Membership entitles you to use Lil GYM's facilities, equipment and services appropriate to your membership type during advertised opening hours.
Memberships are personal to the named member and may not be shared, transferred or assigned to another person.
Membership does not guarantee access where the gym has reached its safe operating capacity.
Age Requirements
Members must be 18 years of age or over.
Health
By joining Lil GYM, you agree to the following health declaration:
- I believe I am medically fit to participate in physical exercise.
- I understand that it is my responsibility to ensure I am healthy enough to exercise safely.
- I have discussed with a GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional, any medical condition, injury or other health concern that may affect my ability to exercise safely, where appropriate.
- If I have any doubts about my health or ability to exercise, I will seek advice from my GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional before using the gym.
- I will not use the gym if I feel unwell, have been advised not to exercise by a medical professional, or am under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs.

- I understand that all forms of exercise involve an element of risk and that I participate voluntarily and at my own risk.
Gym Induction
Lil GYM recommends that all new members complete a gym induction before using the facilities.
Members may choose to decline an induction if they are confident in the safe use of gym equipment. By declining an induction, the member confirms that they are satisfied they know how to use the equipment safely and will only use equipment they understand how to operate correctly.
Members who are unsure how to use any equipment should stop using it immediately and request an induction or assistance from Lil GYM before continuing.
Members may request a gym induction at any time during their membership, subject to availability.
Declining a gym induction does not affect the member's responsibility to exercise safely, comply with the Membership Terms & Conditions and Gym Rules, or complete the Health Declaration.
Access
Your membership provides access only during the published opening hours applicable to your membership type.
Entry is gained using your personal QR code in your member area via the app.
You must never:
- allow another person to enter using your access credentials ("tailgating")
- lend or share your access credentials
- attempt to gain unauthorised entry
- assist anyone else to gain unauthorised entry
Any misuse of the access system may result in immediate suspension or termination of membership.
Male Attendants
Lil GYM is a women-only gym, and membership is restricted to women.
From time to time, male attendants may be present within the gym for legitimate operational purposes. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Essential maintenance, repairs or equipment servicing.
- Cleaning, waste collection or sanitary waste servicing.
- Deliveries or installations.
- Health and safety inspections.

By becoming a member of Lil GYM, you acknowledge and accept that male attendants may occasionally be present for these purposes.
Unmanned Facility
Lil GYM operates as an unmanned gym for all or part of its opening hours.
By using the gym, you acknowledge that:
- you may be exercising without staff present
- you are responsible for exercising safely
- a panic button is located within the gym and is for emergency use only
- Pressing the panic button will alert GymSafe who will patrol all CCTV cameras for anyone needing assistance and will call 999 and notify management
- emergency assistance may not be immediately available
- you should carry a mobile phone whenever possible while using the gym
Any accident, injury or equipment fault should be reported to Lil GYM as soon as reasonably possible.
Members are responsible for familiarising themselves with the Safety Information displayed throughout Lil GYM before using the facilities.
Safety & Security
Lil GYM is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all members.
To help achieve this, the gym operates a range of safety and security measures, including but not limited to:
- 24-hour recorded CCTV, which is remotely monitored during unmanned hours.
- Personal member access credentials to control entry into the gym.
- Emergency panic buttons linked to our remote monitoring provider.
- A first aid kit available within the gym.
- Fire detection and alarm systems.
- Clearly marked emergency exits and evacuation procedures.
Members must:
- Use only their own authorised access credentials and never allow another person to enter using their membership.
- Familiarise themselves with the location of emergency exits, first aid equipment and emergency procedures before using the gym.
- Report any accident, injury, security concern or damaged equipment to Lil GYM before leaving the gym.
- Follow all emergency instructions given by Lil GYM, the emergency services or our appointed monitoring provider.
Lil GYM reserves the right to update its safety and security arrangements from time to time to improve the safety and security of members and the premises.

- Use equipment only for its intended purpose and in accordance with any instructions provided.
- Return all equipment to its designated storage area after use.
- Wipe down equipment after use where cleaning products are provided.
- Wear suitable gym clothing and clean, enclosed footwear at all times. Bare feet, socks only, sandals, flip-flops or open-toed footwear are not permitted, except where instructed during specific classes such as Yoga & Pilates.
- Avoid behaviour that may intimidate, harass or disturb other members.
- Keep noise to a reasonable level and comply with the Music & Audio Policy.
- Report any damaged or faulty equipment immediately.
- Follow all safety notices, policies and reasonable instructions issued by Lil GYM.
Lil GYM reserves the right to refuse entry or suspend or terminate membership where a member's behaviour is unsafe, abusive or otherwise breaches these Terms & Conditions.
Music & Audio Policy
To help keep membership costs as low as possible, Lil GYM does not provide background music within the gym.
As there are residential properties above the premises, we also ask members to help minimise unnecessary noise out of consideration for our neighbours.
Members are welcome to listen to their own music, podcasts, videos or other audio content while using the facilities, subject to the following conditions:
- Music, podcasts, videos (including YouTube), television programmes, films and any other audio content may only be listened to through personal earphones or headphones and must not be audible to other members.
- The volume should be kept at a level that allows members to remain aware of their surroundings and any emergency announcements.
Playing audible music or other copyrighted audio within the gym may breach music licensing requirements and could expose Lil GYM to additional licensing costs or financial penalties.
Where a member's actions result in Lil GYM incurring additional licensing fees, fines or other reasonable costs, Lil GYM reserves the right to recover those costs from the member responsible.
Licence-free music may be played by Lil GYM during instructor-led classes where appropriate.
Members who fail to comply with this policy will be asked to stop playing the audio immediately and may result in suspension or termination of membership in accordance with the Membership Terms & Conditions.
Classes
Members are responsible for ensuring they are fit to participate in any class and should exercise within their own ability.
Before the start of each class, members must inform the instructor of any injury, medical condition, pregnancy or other circumstance that may affect their ability to participate safely.
Members should immediately stop exercising and notify the instructor if they experience pain, dizziness, illness or any other concerning symptoms during a class.
To help improve technique and reduce the risk of injury, instructors may occasionally provide hands-on guidance or gentle physical adjustments where appropriate. This may include correcting posture or movement patterns. If you would prefer not to receive hands-on guidance, please inform the instructor before the class begins, and your preference will always be respected.
Some classes, including Yoga, may occasionally include a brief guided relaxation incorporating a gentle head or shoulder massage. Participation is entirely optional, and members may decline at any time by informing the instructor.
Some classes, including Yoga, may also occasionally involve the use of essential oils or aromatherapy products to enhance the class experience. Members must inform the instructor before the class begins if they have any allergies, sensitivities, asthma or other medical conditions that may be affected by these products. Lil GYM will endeavour to accommodate such needs where reasonably practicable but cannot guarantee an essential oil-free environment.
Lil GYM reserves the right to refuse participation in a class where it believes it would be unsafe for a member to take part.
Lockers & Personal Property
Lockers are provided for temporary use while using the gym.
All lockers must be emptied before leaving.
Lil GYM reserves the right to open lockers left in use after closing or where necessary for security reasons.
Members leave all personal belongings at their own risk.
Lil GYM accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to personal property unless caused by our negligence.
Lost property will normally be retained for up to 14 days before being donated, recycled or disposed of.
CCTV
CCTV operates throughout the gym for the purpose of crime detection, prevention, public safety, and to protect staff and premises.
By entering the premises, you acknowledge that CCTV recording and monitoring is in operation.
Further information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
