2. GYMFLEX MEMBERSHIP

By selecting GymFlex membership funded by a Flexible Benefit Scheme you are accepting a new remuneration package, which includes a combination of cash and benefits.
We have further informed you that if your Employer has chosen to fund provision of your GymFlex Membership under a Salary Deduction Scheme this will not affect your terms and conditions of employment.
It is your responsibility to agree the terms of your GymFlex Membership with your Employer and to make sure that you understand the implications of your Employer's Flexible Benefit Scheme or Salary Deduction Scheme.

GymFlex Gyms do not offer refunds for the time closed. Whilst extensions will be honoured by the majority of gyms, your gym may choose to offer an alternative solution throughout the closure period.
