Better Health UK Flex membership FAQs

What’s the difference between Pay as you Go and Better Flex membership?

With a Pay As You Go membership, you pay a small one-off annual membership fee and then enjoy discounted rates for activities as you use them. This means savings of up to 30% on non-member prices and access to courses and other members-only activities, and the ability to access certain facilities at one nominated Better leisure centre throughout the year.

The Better Flex membership goes one step further with a flat monthly fee of either £10 or £5 (concessionary/Junior). You'll save up to 30% on non-member prices or 50% on non-member prices (if you're a concessionary member and choose off-peak times). You'll also get a free activity booking (gym/swim or fitness class)once a month and the beauty is Better Flex members can use any Better leisure centre*.

*some restrictions may apply. 

How long does my membership last?

Since the Better Flex membership is charged monthly, you can cancel when you want and just pay for that current month. 

Are there any setup fees?

In the month you sign-up, you will be charged £10 on top of the monthly fee. So, if you choose an Adult Better Flex, the total will be £20 (£10 setup fee plus £10 monthly fee) in month one and then £10 in the following months. If you qualify as a Junior or Concessionary, the total will be £15 (£10 setup fee plus £5 monthly fee) in month one and then £5 in the months following. 

Will I get a discount on exercise classes?

With your Better Flex membership, you'll get up to 30% off fitness classes plus the ability to book your preferred class online or by phone up to 7 days in advance. You can also use your one free activity booking a month on a fitness class. 

Is it better to buy a Better Flex membership or a daily pass?

If you are visiting our centres more than once a month, it is better to buy a Better Flex membership. This way you can enjoy discounts at a wide range of centres plus a free booking activity (gym, swim or fitness class) every month. Short term passes (available as daily, weekly and monthly passes) are good for testing the waters at a particular centre or if you're away on business or holiday in the local area and want to keep up your routine.
