Pauses of up to one month, longer absences and returning to training.
Membership may normally be paused for up to one month for situations such as injury, illness or exams. Request it in writing through the Members Area before the 15th of the preceding month, as set out in the Payment Policy. Include the reason and proposed dates, and wait for confirmation. Missing classes does not automatically pause membership or payments.
An agreed one-month pause retains your class place for that month under the Payment Policy. A place cannot be held indefinitely after that period. If you need more than one month away, the normal route is to cancel the membership and rejoin when ready. Medical or injury circumstances may be considered individually where appropriate.
Before returning, confirm your class place, membership status and payment arrangements through the Members Area.
Injury-related absence is considered differently, depending on medical advice and the expected time away. We will do our best to retain your class place based on that timeframe. Read the injury and medical guidance.
Scheduled school holidays do not automatically pause membership payments. Read why monthly payments continue during holidays. Any individual pause and its payment arrangements must be confirmed by ZKS.
Payments continue unless a pause or cancellation has been correctly arranged and confirmed. A one-month pause does not automatically change Review attendance requirements or guarantee eligibility. See qualifying Review attendance.
For a longer absence, follow cancellation and then rejoining. Check payment guidance before changing a Direct Debit.
