FLORIN PELECACI
Founder and CEO
With over 10 years experience in teaching/coaching gymnastics in schools and clubs. Qualified as General Gymnastics/Trampoline/FreeG coach/ Judge floor and vault, UEFA B Football and higher education (UK QTS and master degree in Education and Sport Management)
“I have always worked hard and performed on my best as a sport person. I was lucky enough to start with gymnastics ( foundation for all the other sports) at young age – becoming romanian champion in gymnastics as a young boy, then everything else was easy; good athlete (sprint, endurance, long jump, javelin throwing), then I became a professional footballer – playing for over 10 years in top leagues in Romania and Hungary.
It seems that I could embrace a career in any other sport as gymnastics has helped me achieve so many different skills: coordination, balance, strength, flexibility, agility, confidence, body awareness, discipline, work ethics, etc. Gymnastics has made a huge difference in my life and I’m happy to share my experience as it could help anyone else no matter of age or ability….”

Perform Better Gymnastics Academy (PBGA) is a private club based in North London, operating with community interest status. These terms and conditions apply to all members, parents and guardians.
1. Enrolment
- Parents, guardians and adult members must create a membership account by completing the registration form on the Perform Better website. All information must be accurate and kept up to date.
- We use Club Manager as our online booking and membership management provider, together with its ClubLink app.
- Parents, guardians and adult members are responsible for keeping contact details, emergency contact details and relevant medical information up to date.
- Please tell us (by email) about any medical conditions, allergies, disabilities or additional support needs that may affect participation.
- If a gymnast requires additional assistance, please contact us before booking so we can discuss their needs and the support available. Children who require continuous or one-to-one support may benefit from a private session or another suitable arrangement agreed with the club.
2. Fees and Membership
- Direct Debit is our preferred payment method. The monthly membership fee for our standard one-hour weekly class is £49. Fees for other classes vary according to the programme and training hours.
- Membership payments are collected over 11 months of the year, with no regular membership collection in August, when regular classes do not run.
- Monthly payments spread the cost of the programme across the payment year; they do not represent a fixed number of sessions in each calendar month.
- Our programme is organised into five terms, normally comprising eight weeks each. The November/December term comprises seven weeks, and children receive a Christmas goodie bag in place of the eighth session.
- New members are offered a one-off trial session costing £12 in their selected class. After the trial, an automated email will explain how to set up a monthly Direct Debit and activate membership.
- A 10% multiple-class discount is available for eligible Intermediate and Advanced classes only.
- PBGA does not offer make-up classes for sessions missed by members.
- Fees are non-refundable, except where a refund is due under the club-cancellation provisions below or required by law.
- If you cannot pay by Direct Debit, please email us to discuss an alternative arrangement.
3. Direct Debit Payments
Collection dates
Your monthly collection date is normally the date selected when setting up your Direct Debit, as confirmed by our payment provider. Payments are collected on that date each month, subject to banking processing times.
There is no regular membership collection between 1 and 31 August. Collections resume in September for continuing members.
Failed payments – £1 charge
With effect from May 2026, a £1 fee is payable for each failed Direct Debit collection, including each failed retry of an outstanding payment.
We introduced this charge following a high volume of failed payments, with some accounts experiencing up to five failed collection attempts in a single month. Each failed transaction incurs a fee that was previously paid by the club. This £1 cost is now passed on to the account holder to cover the charge incurred and encourage members to maintain sufficient funds for their payments.
Please ensure that sufficient funds are available on your collection date and before any notified retry. Each failed attempt attracts a separate £1 charge; for example, five failed attempts would result in £5 in charges, in addition to the outstanding membership payment.
This charge does not affect your rights under the Direct Debit Guarantee.
Direct Debit Guarantee
Your payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. If PBGA, our payment provider, or your bank or building society makes an error in collecting a Direct Debit, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society.
You may cancel your Direct Debit through your bank at any time. However, cancelling the payment instruction does not itself cancel your membership or remove any fees properly due during your notice period.
Payment information
Direct Debit payments are processed by GoCardless. Personal and payment information is handled securely by the club and its service providers in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Cancelling your membership
To cancel your membership, please notify us in writing at info@performbettersc.co.uk.
One month’s written notice is required. Membership fees remain payable during the notice period. This allows us to plan class groups and offer places to children on our waiting lists.
We will consider individual circumstances involving long-term illness or injury.
Sessions cancelled or postponed by the club or venue
We aim to deliver all scheduled sessions. Occasionally, a venue may become unavailable because of refurbishment, examinations, council meetings, elections, special events or other circumstances.
Where possible, we will offer an alternative session date or a nearby venue to maintain continuity. If we cannot provide a suitable alternative, we will refund the affected session or adjust a subsequent Direct Debit payment.
If regular classes are suspended because of a lockdown or similar closure, we will review and adjust or pause payments to reflect the sessions affected.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting the club in writing.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, harassment and bullying.
Please contact us to discuss any support or adjustments needed for safe participation.

We use the information we hold about you for a variety of purposes which are outlined below. Data protection law requires us to tell you what our legal reason is for each purpose.
Contractual purposes
When you ask us to provide you a service, such as club [membership or registration], gymnastics classes, competitions, trips or other activities [or you buy a product from us] we usually need to use information about you to provide this [product] or service, for example:
- To contact you to confirm arrangements;
- To notify you about changes to terms and conditions;
- To tell you when it is time to renew membership or re-register for activities
- To process payments or send you receipts required.
- To provide you with the benefits and services to which you have subscribed.
- We do so because it is necessary for the performance of a contract.
Legal obligations
We have a duty of care to ensure it is safe for you or your child to take part in gymnastics activity and to keep you/them safe while participating. Some individuals may be at risk of harm from participating in gymnastics activity as a result of a pre-existing condition. It is vital that you let us know if there is any reason why taking part in gymnastic activity may be unsafe prior to participation. With your agreement, we will review any information you provide and undertake risk assessments in consultation with yourself and any appropriate trained professionals e.g. medical consultants. When we ask participants to provide relevant health information such as details of medical conditions, medication needs, allergies or injuries, this is because we have a legal obligation.
If you are selected for a role at the club, we will usually obtain a reference from any appropriate organisation or individual you have nominated.
When you tell us about any special needs such as disabilities or other support information we may use relevant information to comply with our legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010. We will review any information you have provided to help us identify any actions we can take to support inclusion. We may need to ask you for more information to help us to best meet your or your child’s needs. We will keep a record of any steps we take to support inclusion.
If you are wishing to volunteer or work for us, we may need to ask you to complete a criminal record check as we have a legal obligation to do so. We jointly control the checking process with [British Gymnastics or Scottish Gymnastics] who is responsible for the assessment of any content on the check and will only share information with us where it is appropriate. For example, if you are considered by British Gymnastics to be unsuitable to take on the role, we may share relevant and proportionate information about criminal offences where it is deemed that while you are not considered unsuitable to take on the role, if it is considered necessary for safeguarding purposes.
When we retain information about you, even after you are no longer taking part in gymnastics activity, this is often because we are required to do so by law such as records we are required to keep for business and accounting purposes. Sometimes we are also legally obliged to share information about you with third parties. More information it provided below.
Legitimate interests
We rely on legitimate interests for the following purposes:
Responding to communications, concerns or complaints and seeking feedback from you about our services.

Maintaining attendance registers, achievement records (BG proficiency awards, London GfA levels) and waiting lists
For health and safety purposes and club records, we need to maintain a register of those in attendance at training or other club activities.
If there are no places in the club, we can place you on our waiting list and will contact you using the details you provide to inform you when a place is available.
Entering you into a competition and providing results
If you wish to take part in a club competition, your information (usually your name, date of birth and gender) will be used to enter you into the appropriate category and your score will be recorded. Results of competitions are normally published [on our website].

Our club never cancels a session, but if the Centres /venues we work with must close (due to refurbishment, exams, council meetings, polling stations, special events, etc.), we will endeavour to find an alternative solution, such as moving the session to a different day or a nearby venue, to ensure children have continuity. If none of the above work, the last resort would be refunding the missed sessions or adjusting the following Direct Debit payments.
