Club Policies & Procedures

Checking in

All members are required to present their membership card to Reception staff on each visit. Your card (or key pass) is required to ensure accurate data is processed and to prevent others from using your membership.

Usage figures provide us with essential information to enable us to manage membership numbers in the club and avoid overcrowding. One of our key strengths is that we aim to protect you from having to wait too long to use equipment.

Membership cards

Membership cards are required for entry into the club. A cost of $5 is requested for a replacement card if lost.

Suspension of Membership

Suspension forms must be completed in person at 6 Degrees South 5 business days prior to the commencement of your required suspension period.

There is a $10 charge to suspend memberships with a minimum of 2 weeks required and up to a maximum of 3 months. Any additional changes requested in your suspension will require a further $10 fee.

Retrospective dates cannot be applied.

Direct Debit Billing

Direct debit billing is obtained from either a credit card or bank account and provides a pay as you go option. This membership will have a minimum contract that is required to be fulfilled before cancellation is possible.

Your fortnightly debit dates have been selected by our commissioned billing company and will commence as per the next designated date. A pro rata payment is calculated according to the date your membership will commence.

Please note that your membership will continue until it is cancelled via our Leaver’s form available at reception. A small transaction fee is charged by the billing company along with a once off administration set up fee.

Accepted Credit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, Amex (surcharges apply).

Ending a Direct Debit Membership: At least 30 days notice is required after the term of the contract.

Once the term of your contract has been met, a Leavers form must be completed in person, signed and handed in at reception.

It is important to note that dishonour fees will be charged by the billing company where accounts have insufficient funds or where we have not been notified of expired, lost or stolen credit cards.

CANCELLATION of your Direct Debit Membership

All direct debit cancellation forms must be completed in person at 6 Degrees South via our company Leaver’s Form with minimum of 30 Days notice given. Cancellation will be accepted after the term of the contract has been fulfilled.

Cancellation forms must be submitted by 5pm on that business day to be accepted on that date.

The cut-off date and time for submission of a cancellation form prior to the next debit date is at 12pm the day before the debit is due.

The 30 days notice will take effect from the date of the last charge.

Confirmation will be sent via email.

Gym Induction

A gym induction is an important feature of your membership as it is a starting point to working toward achieving your goals. We take your health and fitness very seriously and ask that you complete a ‘Health and Readiness for Exercise’ form to enable your fitness instructor to perform your induction accurately.

• Please turn up on time for your assessment on time
• We ask that you advise your trainer 24 hrs in advance if there is an issue with your appointment time.
• Appointment duration is approximately 30-45 minutes.

This service is offered at 6 Degrees South Health and Fitness at an additional cost and limited to club designated trainers. Please ask at Reception for availability and costs.
