    But here want to be upfront with a few essentials to keep in mind that are non-negotiable at Fianna (no exceptions - so don’t ask)

    • No-Show & Late Cancellation Fees
      We apply a €5 fee for no-shows and a €2.50 fee for cancellations made within 10 hours of a class.

    • No Long-Term Commitment
      We just ask for a 21-day notice to cancel your membership. You can do this easily via the Cancellation Form located in the website footer.

    • Freezing Your Membership
      Need a break? You can freeze your membership for between 4 and 12 weeks with just a €5 flat fee. Your current rate will be protected, and there’s no sign-up fee when you return.
      Please submit your freeze request at least 7 days before your start date via the Freeze Form in the website footer.

    • Lost Property
      We’re not responsible for any personal items lost or missing at the gym, but we do our best to collect anything left behind. Items are held in our Lost & Found for approximately one week.

    • Payment Issues
      If your membership payment fails, you won’t be able to access the gym or classes until it has been successfully renewed.

    • Please Arrive On Time for Classes
      For safety reasons and to ensure a smooth experience for both the coach and other participants, we reserve the right to turn away anyone who arrives late to class. We understand this can be frustrating, but we ask for your understanding - it helps us keep the session focused, safe, and respectful for everyone involved.
