All policies are subject to interpretation and/or change by club management. Fee/Billing Information Initiation fees are paid on all full-time memberships and are good for life, as long as your membership stays current and your account is in good standing. If you choose to cancel your membership and then rejoin, there will be a re-start fee. Payment of Membership Dues We offer two membership payment options: 1. Annual Pay in Full Pay in full for annual membership. With your in-full payment you will receive one free month. (13 months for the price of 12 months) 2. Monthly EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) Your dues may be paid electronically using a checking account, debit card, or credit card on a savings account. Monthly charges are submitted for payment on or around the 25th of each month. We must be notified in writing of any account changes you wish to make by the 20th of each month. Renewals, Cancellations & Change in Status To make any changes to your membership status complete a Change in Status form, obtained at the front desk. The form must be returned by the 1st of the prior to that month the change will occur. (We need 25 days in advance of billing) Freeze** – 3 Months minimum. In the unfortunate circumstance that you become injured or face another type of health challenge, you may “freeze” your membership. This is essentially stopping your membership for an extended period of time but better than canceling. It allows you to avoid paying the initiation fee when you are able to return to using the club again.
