How to join
We use online provider TeamUp to manage our memberships and session bookings. To join the club, you will need to create an account in TeamUp, go through email verification of the account (you need to click on the verification link sent to you by email) and then you will be able to pay your membership fee by bank card. Once you are a member and have completed your personal information (including your emergency contact details) in TeamUp, you will be able to sign up for sessions and either “pay as you go” or buy a pack of 5 or 10 sessions. You can also access TeamUp via a phone app you can download from your app store.
