Question 1

What is the Lion’s Den?

Accepted Answer

We are a police partnered organization that began in 2009 with an aim to reduce youth offending. After achieving successful results, our multi purpose facility, Tutaki, was opened in 2013 which provides youth, social and health services as well as our community gym.

Question 9

Does my membership have a contract?

Accepted Answer

No. We really do mean that you can cancel your membership at any time. We don’t like the games other gyms play with advanced written notice, lengthy contracts and technical jargon designed to confuse and ultimately take more of your money from you. We want the Lion’s Den to be an experience that is completely different, and as a result, we don’t have contracts, nor will we ever have contracts.
 
If you’d like to cancel your membership, please send us an e-mail to info@lionsdengym.org.nz and we will cancel your plan for you. When you cancel your membership, we will cancel the next reoccurring charge on your account and you will have access to the gym for the remainder of your paid term.

Question 10

Can I put my membership on hold?

Accepted Answer

We can pause memberships for a maximum of 3-months in any calendar year. Any longer than this, and we recommend cancelling your membership and signing back up when you are ready to return. If you are on a direct debit membership, all membership holds are pro-rated based on your fortnightly billing rate.
