Equipment use:

All equipment must be used as designed. If you are not familiar with the use of equipment, please arrange instruction with a staff member. Instruction is available to members with our personal training staff as a member service by appointment. Members must be familiar with and observe gym etiquette rules. Members and guests damaging club property will be responsible for any expense incurred. The management reserves the right to terminate membership to anyone who refuses to observe the rules or regulations of the club, abuses equipment or shows disrespect to other members and staff.

Wipe down your equipment completely when finished. Use a machine rag and spray bottle to clean areas you have touched or perspired on. Please bring your own sweat towel to carry with you throughout your workout to avoid sweat dripping all over machines and floors. You should stay towel dry and not drip sweat on equipment and throughout the club. Change your t-shirt if it becomes soaked with sweat.

Please pick up after yourself when you are done. Return Fit balls, mats, and all extra equipment to original area.

INACTIVE MEMBERSHIP: Membership Freeze

There are three kinds of inactive membership for members:

Medical freeze-A member may apply for an inactive membership based upon a valid medical reason. Members may be required to submit to the Club sufficient proof of such illness or injury. The member will be billed $0 per month for each inactive month.
Personal leave- The leave must be at least one month, but not longer than 3 months. The member will be billed $10.00 per month for each inactive month. The member must fill out a Freeze Form in advance. Freezes must be made 1 month prior to billing date to avoid being charged the next EFT on the 5 or 20th.
Annual Member freeze- Available to freeze up to three months and extend those months to the end of their term.

Under no circumstances will membership freeze be granted retroactively. There is no pro-ration for partial freezing and we do not back date freeze periods. 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.

Voluntary resignation:

A member may resign from the Club at any time by giving one full month's written notice.

After the Club's written acknowledgment of such voluntary resignation, the member shall not be subject to any further dues or other charges. Such voluntary resignation shall not be deemed effective until after the expiration of A ONE FULL MONTH NOTICE PERIOD and the club has received all required payments by the member to the Club.
