All Rise Fitness members (“Members”), guests, and those periodically visiting (together “you”) Rise Fitness clubs in operation in the UK (the “Club”) must comply with these Rules. These Rules are incorporated into a Member’s Contract with us, and compliance with these Rules is important both to maintain the standards at the Club and to enable Members to get full enjoyment from their Membership.
Any person who does not comply with these Rules may be ejected from, or denied access to the Club, or may have their Membership terminated by Rise Fitness if the non-compliance is serious.

We reserve the right to make reasonable amendments to these Rules, or our individual Club operational rules, at any time. If we do this, we will give Members reasonable advance notice by placing the new Rules on a notice board.
In these Rules, “Grand Fitness”, “us”, “we” or “our” means Rise Fitness. Words and phrases in these Rules have the same meanings as given in our Membership Terms & Conditions, unless specified otherwise.
