MEMBERSHIP FEES

Please see your instructor for up to date prices.

There are varying memberships, depending on what classes you wish to attend, and how many family members are training in the club. All fees are paid monthly and by standing order only.

LITTLE PUMA MEMBERSHIP
This is mainly for Little PUMA Members.

UNLIMITED TRAINING
This is for members who train a minimum of twice a week. But you do not need to stop there, as once you are an unlimited training member you can train as many times as you like within the South Hams Schools, or even within Devon & the rest of the UK. As long as you train your minimum two classes with your instructor, you are welcome to train at any other PUMA classes. You could train up to 7 days a week, here in the South Devon area alone.

FAMILY MEMBERSHIP

This is ideal if you have two or more family members training more than once a week. The second person is heavily discounted and the 3rd and 4th members or more are absolutely free. This is one of the reasons why our schools have many families training together.
