Under 18s Gym Membership (Ages 11–17)

Vibes Gym welcomes young people aged 11–17 to train in a safe, supportive, and motivating environment. This page explains how our Under 18s Membership works — including monthly and prepaid options, training hours, supervision requirements, and consent rules.

Membership Options
We now offer flexible rolling monthly and prepaid 6-month and 12-month memberships for under-18s:

  • Monthly Rolling: £30 setup + rolling monthly fee — cancel anytime before your next payment.
  • 6-Month Prepaid: £209.99 — full access for six months (staffed hours only).
  • 12-Month Prepaid: £369.99 — full access for one year (staffed hours only).

All options include full use of gym equipment during staffed hours, with induction and consent requirements as detailed below.

When can under-18s train?
Under-18s may train in staffed hours only unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Mon–Fri: 8am–8pm   • Sat–Sun: 8am–2pm

Supervision & Access Rules
• Ages 11–13: must train during staffed hours with a parent/guardian who is a Vibes member (1:1 ratio).
• Ages 14–15: may train independently in staffed hours with written parental consent on file.
• Ages 16–17: may train independently in staffed hours. Limited out-of-hours access may be granted at management discretion, in writing, after induction and a behaviour review.

Sauna & Tanning
• Saunas: permitted for 16–17s only during staffed hours and only with parental consent.
• Under-16s are not permitted to use saunas.
• Sunbeds: strictly 18+ only.

Induction & Consent
A gym induction is compulsory for under-16s. A parent/guardian must complete and accept the Gym Waiver and Health Pledge, and provide ID in staffed hours. All under-18s are bound by our Gym Rules.

Changing Rooms & Lockers
Separate men’s and women’s changing rooms are provided. These are shared rooms (not private cubicles). Lockers are for daily use only and must be emptied before leaving.

Hygiene & Conduct
Wear clean trainers, bring a towel, and wipe down equipment after use. Bags and coats should stay in lockers. Aggressive behaviour, misuse of equipment, or unsafe conduct may result in suspension.

Equipment Etiquette
Please return weights after use. A fee of £0.05 per kg may apply for weights left out. Repeated breaches may result in membership suspension.

Security & Non-Member Entry
Access is personal to the member. Sharing your access PIN or letting another person in is prohibited. A Trespass Fee of £62.99 may be charged to both the unauthorised individual and the responsible member. Access may be suspended until payment is made.

Turning 18
On or after your 18th birthday, your membership may automatically switch to an adult plan unless cancelled beforehand. You can cancel anytime before your next payment via vibesgym.com/cancel.

Annual Gym Enhancement Fee
All monthly members are charged a £30 Gym Enhancement Fee each 1st October. This helps fund ongoing upgrades and new equipment for our members.
