Is it possible to cancel my gym membership?

Not snakey, it is your legal right

But also your responsibility to arrange payment by some other method or agree the terms of cancelling with the gym.

It is not anyone's 'legal right' to a refund whenever they feel like it. The gym was not obliged to provide a refund, they did so out of their own good will.

Plenty of stores give refunds or exchanges on clothes for example, however they are not legally obliged to if there is nothing wrong with them (i.e. not faulty).

I am merely talking about cancelling a direct debit mandate not getting refunds. Cancelling a direct debit mandate is not a refund of any kind.

Your post isn't exactly helping or informing the OP in their situation as you don't seem to be informed on the topic of direct debits yourself

You know exactly what he is refer to. Talking about the "legal right" of cancelling is not the point, as you are aware.

Yes, you have the legal right to cancel a direct debit. Nobody claimed otherwise.
You also have a legal obligation to fulfil the terms of the contract you signed.

Using the first to circumvent the second is sneaky. No matter what way you want to dress it up.

Can someone tell me what does Corporate Membership actually mean?

I'm paying by direct debit - I just want to join a different gym. I've emailed them twice and have gotten no reply. Very annoying.

I'm surprised nobody quoted this yet...

It seems nothing has changed in the way Gyms operate...

I think this is a question for the gym you are looking to join.

I would imagine that it has to do with an employee discount for some of the surrounding businesses.

Usually means something along the lines of employees of a company getting a discount on membership by signing up through the company.

It's essentially a discount offered to a group - in practice it's not that different to the Ben Dunne offers where there's a decent discount where 3/4 people sign up together.
