• Blood Tests
• Blood Pressure
•Waist to height ratio measurements •Sit to Stand Test
• Body composition analysis
• Quality of life

Health Assessment results are securely stored and accessible only by those Metabolic Health Team members who support you.

The Elmhurst Foundation charitable objectives are to share anonymised results to further advance the field of Metabolic Health. Refer to clause 12 for details of our Privacy Policy.

2.1 In order to use and benefit from all at Combe Grove you must either: 2.1.1 have an active Metabolic Membership; or

2.1.2 visit as a guest of a current Member, in which case that Member must have either purchased a guest pass for you, or redeemed a guest pass from that Member’s annual allocation and must accompany you throughout your visit to Combe Grove and you may only use the facilities at Combe Grove on that day. A guest pass cannot be transferred or rolled over from one Metabolic Membership year to another.

2.2.2 You will become a Metabolic Member at Combe Grove only if and when we accept your application and you have paid the Joining Fee, where appropriate. We are always delighted to welcome new members to Combe Grove, although our decision whether or not, to accept your application remains at our absolute discretion. We have a policy that former employees of Combe Grove may apply to become a Metabolic Member by invitation only.

2.2.3 Once we accept your application, Joining Fee and Membership Fees, there will be a contract between you and us on these Terms and Conditions.

2.2.4 By collecting your Metabolic Membership band from us, which allows access to Combe Grove, you are indicating that you have read, and accept, these Terms and Conditions.

2.2.5 Subject to the cancellation terms set out in clause 2.8 and 2.9, your Metabolic Membership will be for the Initial Term. If you pay Membership Fees on an annual basis, we will send you a renewal reminder one month before the end of the Initial Term or Extended Term and you must let us know if you want to renew your Metabolic Membership. If you pay Membership Fees on a monthly basis your Metabolic Membership will automatically renew for an Extended Term at the end of the Initial Term and at the end of each Extended Term and a renewal reminder will be issued to you one month prior to the renewal date. You must notify us before renewal if you do not want to renew your Metabolic Membership.

2.2.6 We reserve the right to decline any Metabolic Membership for any reason. We will provide you with a reasonable amount of notice in advance of the end of the Initial Term or Extended Term, as is relevant, if we intend not to renew your membership.

2.2.7 Where our contract is not made on our premises i.e. it is made remotely by telephone or via our website, the Consumer Contracts Regulations give you the rights set out in this clause 2.7, and they will be in addition to the rights given to you by clause 2.8. Provided that our contract has been made remotely, you may for any reason cancel your Metabolic Membership up until the expiry of 14 days after the date when we accept your application for Metabolic Membership, which is known as the “Cooling off Period”. However, if we begin to provide you with any facilities or services before the end of the Cooling off Period at your request, you must pay a pro rata Membership Fee for any such facilities or services provided. If you cancel, as allowed by this clause 2.7, and you have already made payments to us under clause 3, we will refund the payments to you within 14 days of receiving notice of cancellation from you, less any amount due for the particular facilities or services requested and provided to you during that period. If you request that your Metabolic Membership be cancelled under this clause 2.7, you must confirm this in writing either by email to memberships@combegrove.com or by recorded delivery post to the Brassknocker Hill address. If you wish to cancel your Metabolic Membership in other circumstances, please refer to the following clauses for those other circumstances in which you may do so.

2.2.8 You may provide us with notice to cancel your Metabolic Membership at any time during the Initial Term or any Extended Term. Unless you are in the Cooling off Period described in clause 2.7, above, then:

2.8.1 your notice to cancel shall take effect at the end of the Initial Term or Extended Term as is relevant; and

2.2.8.1 where you have paid Membership Fees annually, no refund of Membership Fees shall be made to you; or

2.2.8.2 where you have paid Membership Fees on a monthly basis, Membership Fees will continue to be due and payable each month during the remainder of the Initial Term or Extended Term, as is relevant.

2.2.9 You may suspend your Metabolic Membership if you suffer a long-term illness or injury. If you wish to suspend your Metabolic Membership on this basis, you should inform us of the suspension no later than 14 days prior to your next Membership Fee billing date. In order to agree to this suspension, we will require you to provide a medical certificate, doctor’s note or similar proof of illness or other incapacity, in order to suspend your Metabolic Membership under this clause.

2.2.10 Periods of suspension under clause 2.9 shall not form part of the Initial Term of your Metabolic Membership. For example, if you have eight months left of your Initial Term and take a two -month suspension, you will still have eight months remaining of the Initial Term following the end of the suspension.

2.2.11 You may suspend your Metabolic Membership for reasons not covered by clause 2.9. Non- medical suspension may only take place after the Initial Term has been completed and may be taken not more than once in any three -year period, up to a maximum length of six months. During such suspension, normal Membership Fees shall be replaced with a holding charge of 30% of your usual monthly payment. For annual Metabolic Memberships, any suspension reimbursement is deducted from the next Extended Term fee.

2.2.12 Your Metabolic Membership cannot be transferred or loaned to another person.

2.2.13 If you receive a reduction of Membership Fees for being an NHS employee, you must inform us should you leave the NHS. We will then charge you the full annual Membership Fee following your notification. You must be able to prove your NHS employment status at any time, using your NHS ID card.

2.2.14 We will provide you with a Metabolic Membership access wristband at the start of your Metabolic Membership and it will be necessary to take a photograph of you for your profile. You may not enter, or use, any of the facilities at Combe Grove without a valid wristband. If you lose your wristband, a replacement fee of £10 is payable by you.

2.2.15 The normal opening hours at Combe Grove are published on our website. We reserve the right to amend the opening hours at Combe Grove from time to time for business reasons and to temporarily close, at our absolute discretion, any or all areas or facilities at Combe Grove for cleaning, decorating, repairs, events and holidays, to comply with legal requirements, safety reasons, or otherwise. You may only use the facilities during published opening hours.

2.2.16 We shall not be obliged to provide reasons for any temporary closure in accordance with clause 2.15 and, save for providing a refund as set out in clause 2.17, below, shall have no other liability or obligation whatsoever to you arising from any such closures.

2.2.17 Where any temporary closure affects a significant proportion of the facilities then you may be entitled to a pro rata refund in respect of the period of closure. We shall, in our absolute discretion, determine any refund due under this clause 2.17 taking into account the nature, timing and length of the closure and any services that we can continue to provide to you. We may also deduct from any such refund your reasonable share of any unavoidable costs that we have had to pay in connection with your Metabolic Membership during the relevant closure period.

2.2.18 We reserve the right to impose any new conditions of entry to our premises as we, in our absolute discretion, consider necessary to comply with Legal Requirements. We shall use all reasonable endeavours to inform you of these conditions in advance and reserve the right, without penalty of liability, to refuse entry or to remove you from our premises if these conditions are not complied with.

2.2.19 We have the right to refuse entry to our premises, designated areas or specific facilities where a capacity limit set by Legal Requirements has been reached.

2.2.20 As we need to contact you from time to time in relation to your Metabolic Membership at Combe Grove, please update us if any of your contact information changes, including your name, address, telephone number, email address and next of kin details.

At the time of booking a Metabolic Health Programme for prediabetes you will be asked to confirm that your GP has diagnosed that you are prediabetic.

Prior to us finalising your booking, you will be asked to complete a Health Declaration to assess your suitability for a Metabolic Health Programme and Retreat. Should, based on the information given on your Health Declaration, you then be considered not suitable, you will be advised of this.

Please note that Combe Grove can accept no responsibility of any kind whatsoever for any inaccurate information included on the Health Declaration.

You are responsible for your own state of health, physical condition and wellbeing at all times and you must let us and your GP know as soon as possible if you feel unwell whilst participating on a Metabolic Health Programme.

You may only use the equipment and facilities provided by us in the correct manner and you must not use them in any manner which constitutes a health and safety risk either to yourself or to others.

You should not attempt to use any equipment or facilities until a suitably qualified instructor has instructed you how to use it correctly and/or you have completed your induction session.

You accept that using our equipment and facilities may be physically challenging and carries with it risk that we cannot entirely eliminate, including risk of personal injury.

You should not visit the Combe Grove Estate or use any of our facilities or equipment when under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs or when you are suffering from any infectious or contagious illnesses, diseases or other ailments such as cuts, abrasions, open sores or infections. If you are suffering from any form of contagious illness, such as a cold or similar virus, please contact us as soon as possible in advance of the scheduled arrival date for your
Metabolic Health Programme. In these circumstances we will work with you to reschedule your
Metabolic Health Programme to begin at a later date within 6 months of the original scheduled arrival date, subject always to availability. If we are unable to make the change, or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to cancel the contract in accordance with the cancellation provisions set out under Cancellation, below.

Should any of the details included on your Health Declaration change between the date of booking and the commencement of your Metabolic Health Programme, you are required to contact Combe Grove to advise of such changes and any failure to do so will be regarded as a breach of contract. Combe Grove will then consider whether there is any reason whether you are now unable to undertake a Metabolic Health Programme. Should this be the case, you will be offered a full refund. A full refund will be offered up until 28 days before the arrival date; after this date only a credit for the full amount, against a future Metabolic Health Programme, will be offered.You should not attend Combe Grove when suffering any contagious illness or disease including the common cold. Please see details on rescheduling should you become ill before your residential stay.

Pricing and payment

On initial contact with the Booking Team at Combe Grove you may wish to pay a deposit of 10% of the full amount in order to reserve your place on the chosen Programme.

Once you have completed and returned a Health Declaration, and provided that you have been confirmed as suitable for a Metabolic Health Programme, then you will be asked for payment. Payment must be made in full at the time of completing your booking and will be the price quoted to you at the initial stage of booking, subject to the remainder of this section.

Prices are per person for the Metabolic Health Programme and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of booking. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your booking and the commencement of the Metabolic Health Retreat, we may adjust the rate of VAT and the price you pay may change. We will let you know if this happens. In this circumstance our normal cancellation and amendment policies, as set out below, shall apply.

We reserve the right to increase our prices after the date of your booking. If we do so we will notify you in writing of the price increase and the date on which it will take effect. If you are not happy with the price increase you may contact us before the price increase takes effect to cancel your Metabolic Health Programme and receive a refund of any sums paid by you prior to the date of cancellation.

The price paid includes an allowance which can be used during your residential stay towards treatments, therapies and individual exercise and nutrition consultations. The choice of services offered will be subject to availability. These credits may only be used by you, the client, and are not transferable to any other party. The allowance, if not used in full or in part, is not refundable under any circumstances. Subject to availability, you may book and pay for additional therapies and treatments.

During the residential stay, you may choose to share your room with a companion who is known to you and who is also a client of the Metabolic Health Programme. In this case, each client pays for a Metabolic Health Programme at a price which is based on shared occupancy and which will be confirmed to you at the time of booking.

You may also choose to share your room with a life partner who is not a prediabetic and is not joining the Metabolic Health Programme nor benefiting from membership of the Combe Grove Metabolic Reset Community. Specific charges apply and will be confirmed to you at the time of booking.

Any other extras that you choose during your residential stay can either be paid for at the point of purchase or booking or can be added to your bill and be paid for at the time of departure. Clients wishing to make charges to their bill will be required to agree to a preauthorisation of their credit card on arrival. If you fail to pay any such sum at departure, we reserve the right to make a charge to the credit card details that you provided when making your booking.

Payment may be made by debit or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We do not accept corporate or personal cheques.
