Do I have to sign a contract?Your membership agreement is not a contract. It is a simple month to month agreement. Freedom Fitness is here to ease the burdens of the unexpected. Nothing hidden. No cancellation fees. No Contract.
How will I pay my dues at the club?
Membership is a simple month-to-month agreement with a 30-day cancellation notice. All monthly dues payments are made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from a checking or savings account or via credit/debit card. This very common method of monthly payments basically sends a message to your bank requesting they transfer the dues amount on or about the 5th or 20th of each month, whichever you choose.
What is EFT?
An Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payment allows you to remit payment electronically instead of bringing your checkbook, cash, or credit card to the club every month to pay your dues. It is a safe and efficient system that allows payments from your checking or charge account. Many of you are already automatically making mortgage, insurance, car and other payments that regularly come due.
How can I be sure that my payments have been made? Do I get any kind of receipt after I have transmitted electronically?
Your EFT payments will appear on the account statement you receive from your bank or Credit Card Company. Remember, you must have sufficient funds available to complete the EFT transaction.
Can I pay my dues in a manner other than EFT?
Yes, you can make a full year’s payment up front, if you choose. At the end of the year’s time, prepaid members will pay for the next full year or will automatically continue on a month to month basis(will use our EFT program and will pay the prevailing monthly dues at that time) after the pre-paid term has expired. To cancel, one month full advance written notice to the club and all other procedures apply. Pre-paid Annual Accounts are non-refundable.
How do I cancel?
Giving a full 30 day advance written notice to the Club will terminate EFT transfer or automatic annual renewal. The member must complete the resignation form at the club in person or via e-mail. After the Club’s written acknowledgment of such voluntary resignation, the member shall not be subject to any further dues or other charges. If written notice is received past the required one-month notification the member will be required to full payment of the subsequent month’s dues. Resignation will be effective when the Club has received all required payments. Please refer any questions to club manager, or owners.

If I get injured and can not use the club what can I do?

The Club may, in its sole discretion, approve or reject any application for inactive membership. Members applying for inactive status must be current in their account. Under no circumstances will freezes be granted retroactively.
What if I am unable to use my membership or are injured and I paid in full for 1 year?
Paid in full members may apply for inactive membership or medical freeze once per calendar year. The leave can be up to 3 months. Medical freeze requires a medical release from doctor to return. Months of leave will be added to the end of your term.
