Please ensure that you set up your standing order on the 1st of the month. After 6 months of continuous coaching, you can give a month’s notice at any time.

Extra coach time via Zoom, is available at an hourly rate of £60. (£30 for half an hour).

We will provide you with a personalised training plan.

Performance clients will be offered a regular weekly 15-minute call slot on a Monday afternoon ( between 1.30pm and 6.30pm, we will try to fit in with your availability but slots are allocated on a first come first served basis).

Calls will be offered on around 38 Mondays a year, excluding Bank Holidays. Notice will be given when calls are unavailable due to coaches being away.

Paid-up clients on Fitness and Performance plans are entitled to access to our Private Facebook Group, and a locked backend section of the website.

We cannot be held liable for any accidents, injuries or mishaps, whether physical or dietary, while you are following advice from the plans, website or Facebook Group.

5. Your responsibilities

Your plan is intended for the week in which it is written. You should get a daily email from Training Peaks detailing sessions coming up, it is your responsibility to check the plan and to understand what sessions you have coming up.

Your annual plan is also generated on Training Peaks. It is your responsibility to check it and ensure that all events are notified and correctly listed. Any events that you do not notify us about within 12 weeks of the event cannot be guaranteed to be planned for. If planning has already been done, and you change your mind about your plans or events, you will need to pay for extra coach time to redo the plans.

You must complete the Profile Questionnaire on the website before training can commence.

It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in your health or lifestyle, including illness, drug regimes, family stress that may affect your ability to train. Failure to do so may result in inappropriate sessions being prescribed. In this situation, we cannot be held liable for any accidents, injuries or mishaps, whether physical or dietary, while you are following the plan.

You need to be aware of appropriate warm down and stretching routines after each training session.

You need to upload every session from a device to Training Peaks, we cannot be held responsible for any sessions that are not fully uploaded from a device.

You need to comment and feedback on every completed session, and update your metrics daily. Failure to do so will compromise our ability to create a truly personalised plan for you.

You need to update your availability for the next block of training during the first 2 days of a recovery week. By 23.59 hours on a Tuesday evening. This includes events, fixed classes, rides, business travel, holidays and social events.

Failure to do so will result in a non- specific plan being created, changes will need to be paid for with more coach time at a rate of £60 per hour or £30 for half an hour. If you do not provide availability we will not be able to refund you for a plan you cannot use.

6. Cancellation and money back guarantee

If for any reason you decide that BGCC is not for you, you have 14 days to cancel your contract from the day of our first meeting. In this instance, you will be charged for the coach time that you have used thus far, at £60 an hour and will not be liable for 6 months coaching fees.

After 14 days you will be liable for the full 6 months of payments and this will be non-refundable unless you are cancelling your plan due to bad service from us.
