🎟️ GymCatch Registration & Training Passes

All students must be registered on GymCatch. There’s an instructional video pinned in the announcements in the private facebook group to guide you through the process. ALL STUDENTS NEED THEIR OWN SUB-PROFILES.

Once you’ve completed your first grading (usually a few months in), we ask all students to move from pay-per-class onto a simple monthly training pass. This helps us keep class spaces secure, simplify admin, and support our venue costs — while giving you better value and flexibility too! You’re also welcome to switch to a training pass earlier if you prefer — it can save you money if you’re training more than once a week.

Pass Options:

  • 1 Class per Week:
    • 1 student: £24
    • 2 students: £40
    • 3 students: £48
    • 4 students: £52
  • Unlimited Classes:
    • 1 student: £30
    • 2 students: £48
    • 3 students: £54
    • 4 students: £60

To purchase, log in to GymCatch and go to the “Packages” tab or click here.
