Membership FAQ

Contracts & Billing
Is there an enrollment fee?

Yes — there is a $50 enrollment fee each time a new membership is started, even if you have been a member in the past. The enrollment fee does not apply when switching between membership types. If you are upgrading from a membership that did not include an enrollment fee (such as a student membership), the fee will apply at that time.

What is the difference between yearly and month-to-month?

A yearly contract locks you in for 12 months and cannot be cancelled early for any reason. To cancel at the end of your term, submit a Membership Change Request Form with at least 30 days notice. No refunds will be issued.

A month-to-month contract is $10/mo more but has no long-term commitment. To cancel, submit a Membership Change Request Form with at least 7 days notice. No refunds will be issued.

All cancellations and changes must be submitted via the Membership Change Request Form — no exceptions.

How do I cancel or change my membership?

All membership changes and cancellations must be submitted through our Membership Change Request Form. Please be aware of the notice windows — 30 days for yearly contracts, 7 days for month-to-month — to make sure your request is processed in time.

Can I switch between membership types (e.g. Fitness to Elite)?

Yes — you can switch between membership types at any time by submitting a Membership Change Request Form. No enrollment fee applies when switching between memberships that have already paid an enrollment fee.

Is there a discount for paying my full year upfront?

We bill monthly even on yearly contracts, but if you prefer to pay the full amount upfront, we can apply it as a credit to your account and it will pull monthly from there. A credit card or bank account must be kept on file for all memberships.

Is there a fee for overdue balances?

Yes — a 1.5% fee is applied to any overdue balance on your account. To avoid this, make sure your payment method on file is current and up to date.

Family Memberships
Who qualifies for a family membership?

Family memberships cover immediate household members only — your spouse or partner, and children under the age of 21 who live at the same address. Up to 5 people total.

Family memberships do not include parents, siblings, extended family, friends, or anyone not living in your home — regardless of relationship. We reserve the right to verify household status with proof of address (a utility bill or piece of official mail is sufficient).

Additional family members beyond 5 can be added at $10/person per month.

Can I add family members to my plan later?

Yes — family members can be added at any time. They will need to create an account first, then submit a Membership Change Request Form to be added to your family plan.

Can my kids use the fitness center?

Yes, with age-based rules:

  • Ages 12–15: May use the fitness center only if a responsible adult (18+) is in the building and able to supervise or vouch for them if needed. HealthyU classes are not available at this age.
  • Ages 16+: May use the fitness center without adult supervision and may attend HealthyU classes.
Classes & Facilities
Are HealthyU classes included in my membership?

Yes — HealthyU classes (yoga, cycling, Zumba, TRX, Insanity, Pound, and more) are included at no extra cost with Fitness and Elite memberships. They are not included with Sport memberships. Non-members may drop in for $15 per class. See the booking rules below for cancellation and no-show policies.

What are the HealthyU class booking rules?

The following booking rules went into effect February 23, 2026 and apply to all HealthyU classes:

1
Late cancellation fee: $2
Cancellations made within 4 hours of the class start time will be charged $2.
2
No-show fee: $10
If you are registered and do not cancel or attend, a $10 no-show fee will be charged.
3
Sign up until class starts
Members can register in the app up until the moment class begins.
4
Waitlists enabled
All classes have a waitlist — you will be automatically moved in when a spot opens. Waitlist closes 2 hours before class.
Do all memberships include locker rooms and the sauna?

Yes — locker rooms and showers are included with all membership types (Fitness, Sport, and Elite).

We currently have a men's sauna located in the men's locker room. In Fall 2026, we will be adding freestanding saunas upstairs in our Recovery Center, available to both men and women members. Red light therapy will also be available there at an additional cost. All Recovery Center usage will be by appointment.

How does court booking work?

Members can reserve courts up to 14 days in advance through the member portal. Guests can book up to 48 hours in advance and must pay in full at the time of booking.

Racquetball (Sport and Elite members only) is included in your membership at 1 hour per day per person.

Court cancellations for Tennis and Pickleball require 48 hours notice or you will be billed in full.

Student (14–21) $40/mo $45/mo $30/mo
