Hi,
Quick question - how many folk here use a gym connected to their clients site? I'm looking to join a gym having landed my first contract and the most convenient one is located within the same building I'm currently providing services at. Membership is slightly subsidised as its only available to folk working within the building complex. T&Cs state that permie staff can use the gym and contractors can too depending on the membership taken out. Once my contract is up, and assuming I go elsewhere, my gym membership there will be terminated.
Ran it by QDos and they said at worse, going to such a gym would be a minor point in an IR35 investigation but the much more major points would be MOO, Substitution and Control. Of course, I'm planning on paying the membership out of my pocket given its for personal use.
All in all, wanted to know whether I'm overthinking things and should just join or whether to steer clear and find another place?
Cheers!
