Norwich, Bannatyne's Health Club Review

Good Points
OK if you don't get seriously ill!

Bad Points
Contract Cancer or any other serious desease and you will be charged 3 months' membership and a £25 "admin fee" to suspend membership.

General Comments
My wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in January. I requested that Bannatyne's suspend membership until January 2008 as we would not be using the Gym for obvious reasons whilst she underwent chemotherapy and later an operation.



They see this as no reason to allow a suspension for a period. Indeed, they charged my wife 3 monthly payments and a £25 cancellation charge to close her membership as they do not "do suspensions".



So if you are happy to join an organisation with this attitude (I see the OFT has already investigated their membership contract and enforced some changes) then they are much the same as other places. But please don't get ill!
