Introducing Mates Rates

Become a member at Active for Life and sign up for a 12 month contract and we'll give you a month free, plus the other 11 months will only cost you £20. Get a freind to do the same and we'll give them the same deal and you an additional month free. So if you bring 11 friends, you get the year for free! It's win-win!

The Simple Terms

  • New members must join on a monthly direct debit package to gain free month
  • If the new member was referred by an existing member then the existing members name should be quoted at time of joining – this will entitle the existing member to a free month
  • Free months for new members will be applied after 3 successful direct debits
  • Existing members will have their free month(s) applied from April onwards
  • Existing members who are eligible to refer friends are those on annual and monthly direct debit packages – free months cannot be applied to those on a PAYG package
