Great gym but I've received a £100 parking fine for parking in the carpark outside the gym in a 24hr gym.

Hi Liam. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We are sorry to hear that you received a parking fine whilst using the gym.
The car park is operated by a third party company in which we do not have any affiliation with. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to cancel such tickets. Information regarding parking is available on the home page of any PureGym which offers parking. The correct parking procedures must be followed, to avoid a parking ticket.
We would always advise that you appeal the fine and explain the circumstances. Your attendance log for the date in question, will can be provided as proof to show you were in the gym; you can find this in your App.
If your appeal is rejected, we would suggest submitting a case with POPLA. POPLA are an independent appeals process which works with the Ombudsman Service.
They investigate whether this fine was issued correctly in accordance with the terms and condition of the car park; whilst reviewing evidence provided in the appeal.
On the rejection notice, there should be a 10-digit verification code, and you will then be able to submit an appeal with POPLA via their website: http://www.popla.co.uk/poplaappealprocess.
Although we cannot guarantee they will cancel the fine, we do hope for a positive outcome. Thanks, PureGym.
