30 Days Notice:
At Fitness System we do not believe in hidden fees or complicated contracts. We do ask, however, that all members observe our 30 Days Notice Policy. In order to cancel, remove a member from, or freeze an account, an official Cancelation or Freeze Receipt must be signed and dated on or before the first (1st) day of the previous calendar month. For example, in order to cancel/remove/freeze and not be charged on January 1st, the proper paperwork must be completed and signed no later than December 1st, the month prior. A last draft will be required on all cancellations, removals and freezes completed after the first (1st), making the membership valid until the end of the following month. The last draft of the account will be collected at the time of cancelation. A cancelation will not be valid until the last draft and any outstanding balances have been paid in full.
Cancel While Frozen:
If your account is frozen and you wish to cancel it, we may be able to accommodate your request to cancel before your account unfreezes, so long as your cancelation receipt is signed and dated at least seven (7) calendar days before the 1st of the month, when the draft is set to take place. If your cancelation request is not completed 7 days prior to the unfreezing your account, you may be charged a final draft, per the 30 Day Notice of Cancelation Policy.
If you sign up for a 12- or 24- month agreement, you are subject to the terms for the full length of the contract. Any members added onto your 12- or 24- month agreement become part of the contract and are subject to the $250 early cancelation fee. At the conclusion of the 12- or 24- month term, your membership transfers to a month-to-month membership and will not automatically be cancelled. At the conclusion of the contract term you may put in a 30 Day Written Notice of Cancelation without the obligation to pay a $250 cancelation fee.
