Managing your membership

On our direct debit memberships, you pay every fortnight. If you sign up to a 12 week, 6 month or 12 month upfront plan, you pay one lump sum at the start and you are done.
How do I manage my membership online?
Log in to the member portal to view your membership details, update your personal information and make secure payments.
Can I put my membership on hold?
Yes. Email gym@coogeediggers.com.au with your exact start and end dates. Freezes can run for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 90 days.
I froze my membership. Why was I still charged?
If your freeze starts partway through a direct debit fortnight, you will be charged pro rata for the days your account was still active before the freeze kicked in.
How do I cancel my membership?
Email gym@coogeediggers.com.au to start the process. We will confirm your cancellation within 24 hours. All cancellations require a minimum of 30 days notice, charged pro rata, and you keep full gym access during that notice period.

The floor runs Hammer Strength plate loaded machines, Life Fitness Signature Series cables and cardio, and Keiser functional trainers. The Bunker is our dedicated lower body room. There is also a full HYROX functional training zone with race specific equipment.
