About Folks
Q: What is Folks?
Folks is an active lifestyle membership club designed for Malaysians aged 50 and above. Each month, we curate a calendar of activities — from wellness sessions and creative workshops to outdoor adventures and social gatherings — so you can stay active, meet new people, and enjoy life on your terms.
Q: Who is Folks for?
Anyone aged 55 and above who wants to stay active and socially connected. You don't need to be sporty or fit — our activities range from gentle coffee socials and art workshops to outdoor photowalks and fitness sessions. There is something for everyone, at every energy level.
Q: Do I need to be tech-savvy to join?
Q: Do I need to be tech-savvy to join?
Not at all. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can book an activity with Folks. All bookings, reminders, and updates are sent via WhatsApp — no apps to download, no accounts to create. We keep things simple on purpose.
Membership Tiers
Q: Do I need to register to join an activity?
Yes — everyone joining a Folks activity, including companions and first-timers, needs to register with Folks first. It only takes a few minutes.
Q: Is Folks membership free?
Yes, for now. Membership is free while we build out our full calendar of Signature experiences, anchor activities, and partner network. Once that's all in place, we'll introduce membership pricing.
Q: Will I have to pay eventually?
Members who attend at least 2-3 activities during this free period will be offered a special Founding Member rate of RM19/month when standard pricing begins — our way of thanking early, active members. Join us for a few activities now, and you'll lock in the better rate later.
Q: What if I don't attend enough activities before pricing begins?
You're still welcome to continue as a member at the standard rate in effect at that time. We'll always give advance notice before any pricing change takes effect.
Q: Can I cancel my membership anytime?
Yes, no lock-in — message us on WhatsApp anytime.

Activities
Q: What activities does Folks offer?
Our monthly calendar includes a mix of:
Light - coffee socials, art workshops, creative sessions (seated, no exertion)
Moderate - yoga, Tai Chi, kombucha workshops, terrarium making (light movement)
Active - photowalks, spa & wellness, outdoor activities (sustained movement)
Every activity listing shows its intensity level so you can choose what suits your energy and health on any given day.
Q: Are there activities for men?
Yes. While some activities appeal across genders, our calendar is built to have something for everyone, and we actively add more male-centric activities each month based on member feedback.
Q: What if a session is fully booked?
Each session has a maximum number of participants. Once full, bookings close. If you miss a session, the same or similar activity will appear in a future month's calendar. Please reach out to register your interest for a fully booked event.
Q: How do I know how many spots are left?
Spot counts on the website may not always be fully up to date. For the most accurate, real-time availability, message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm on the spot.
Q: What's the difference between your regular activities and Folks Signature experiences?
Signature experiences (like our sushi workshop) are designed by Folks and hosted with hand-picked partners — you won't find these anywhere else. Our anchor activities (coffee social, wellness sessions) run every month so there's always something familiar to join too.
Member Benefits, Discounts & Referrals
Q: Do Folks members get discounts from partner businesses?
Yes, and this is a benefit we are actively building. As a Folks member, you will have access to exclusive member pricing and perks from our growing network of partner businesses, covering areas such as wellness, health, fitness, and lifestyle.
Our partners are carefully selected to complement the Folks philosophy — active, purposeful, and genuinely useful for members aged 50 and above. We do not work with partners simply for the sake of having a list; every partner we bring on must offer something meaningful to our community.
Partner benefits are available to paid (Founding Member) members only. Guest members are not included in partner discount programmes.
For Founding Members
As one of our first members, you will be among the first to access partner benefits as they are confirmed. Partner updates are announced via your WhatsApp member channel — keep an eye out for new additions each month.
For an up-to-date list of current partner offers, visit our website at www.folksclub.com or check your WhatsApp member channel. Partner benefits are subject to change and availability.
Q: What kind of partner discounts I can expect?
Partner benefits will vary by partner, but typically include:
Preferential rates on health screenings, wellness consultations, or physiotherapy sessions
Member pricing at fitness studios or activity centres beyond our standard calendar
Complimentary or discounted first sessions with new partner businesses
Invitations to partner-hosted events and talks exclusive to Folks members
All partner offers are clearly communicated with the specific discount or benefit stated upfront — no vague "exclusive deals" without detail.
Partner benefits are available to paid Folks members only. Guest members are not included in partner discount programmes.
Q: Is there a discount if my spouse or partner wants to join?
Yes. Everyone attending a Folks activity needs to register first, so your spouse or partner will register as a Folks member too — it's quick and takes a few minutes. As a thank-you, their first Signature experience comes with RM20 off (or RM20 off an anchor activity instead, if they'd rather ease in).
Each member keeps their own account and makes their own bookings — memberships are individual, though you're welcome to book and attend activities together.
Q: Can I bring my spouse, partner, or a friend to an activity?
Yes, and we encourage it. They'll need to register with Folks first, same as any member — it's quick and takes a few minutes. As a thank-you, their first Signature experience comes with RM20 off (or RM20 off an anchor activity instead, if they'd rather ease in).
Q: Can my spouse or partner and I attend the same activities together?
Yes, and we encourage it. As long as both of you book the same session, you're welcome to attend together. Many of our activities are designed to be enjoyable with a companion. The only constraint is session capacity — if a session is fully booked, the same booking rules apply regardless of whether you're attending with a spouse.
Q: How do referrals work?
Refer 3-4 friends who join and stay active for 2+ months, and you're guaranteed the RM19 rate when membership pricing begins, no matter your own activity attendance. Refer 5 or more, and that rate is locked in for as long as you're a member, plus recognition as a Folks Founding Ambassador.
Booking and Cancellation
Q: How do I book an activity?
Booking is done via Google Form. Here's how it works:
1. Browse the monthly activity calendar on WhatsApp or our website
2. Tap the booking link for the session you want
3. Fill in your details and confirm — it takes under a minute
4. Complete payment for the activity
5. You'll receive a WhatsApp confirmation with session details
Booking closes 48 hours before each session. Book early as popular sessions fill up fast.
Q: Can I cancel an event or activity booking?
Yes, with conditions:
7 or more days before the event: Full refund, minus 5% payment processing fees (as charged by our payment provider)
Less than 7 days before the event: No refund
Can't make it? You can transfer your booking to someone else (spouse, friend, another member) at no charge, anytime before the event — even within the 7-day window. Just let us know via WhatsApp who's attending in your place.
Q: What if Folks cancels or reschedules a session?
Occasionally, a session may be rescheduled or cancelled due to insufficient bookings, vendor issues, or unforeseen circumstances. If this happens:
You'll be notified via WhatsApp at least 3 days before the session where possible
You'll receive a full refund, or the option to move your payment to an alternative session
Payment and Membership Management
Q: How do I pay for events or activities?
Activities and events are paid individually at the time of booking.
Q: Is there a fee to join Folks?
Not currently — see "Will I have to pay eventually?" above for how pricing works once membership fees begin.
Q: Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
No contract. Folks is a month-to-month membership. To cancel, simply give us 30 days' written notice via WhatsApp.
Safety and General
Q: Do I need to be physically fit to join?
No. Our calendar includes Light-intensity activities (such as coffee socials and art workshops) that require no physical exertion at all. Every activity listing displays its intensity level — Light, Moderate, or Active — so you can always choose what feels right for you that day. We encourage members to consult their doctor before joining Active-level sessions if they have any health concerns.
Q: I have a medical condition. Can I still join?
Yes — most of our activities are accessible regardless of health conditions. We do ask that members with pre-existing conditions consult their physician before attending physical sessions, and inform us of any relevant conditions at sign-up. Session facilitators reserve the right to ask a member to sit out of a physical activity if there is a safety concern. Your wellbeing always comes first.
Q: Will I be photographed at sessions?
Folks may take photos at sessions for community updates and social media. By joining, you consent to being photographed at activities. If you prefer not to be photographed, simply let us know in writing (WhatsApp is fine) at least 24 hours before a session and we will respect that. No photos of individuals will be shared without reasonable care.
Q: Where do activities take place?
Activities are held at various venues across the Klang Valley, chosen for accessibility and convenience. The full venue address and a Google Maps link are shared with confirmed bookings via WhatsApp, at least 5 days before the session. For sessions where the venue is still being finalised, this will be noted clearly in the activity listing.
