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.

State of Florida Health Studio Provisions: 1. Members are entitled to the penalty-free cancellation of this contract within 3 days, exclusive of holidays and weekends, of its making, upon the mailing or delivery of written notice to the health studio, and refund upon such notice of all monies paid under the contract, except that the health studio may retain an amount computed by dividing the number of complete days in the contract term, or if appropriate, the number of occasions health studio services are to be rendered into the total contract price and multiplying the result by the number of complete days that have passed since the making of the contract or, if appropriate, by the number of occasions that health studio services have been rendered. A refund shall be issued within 30 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation. 2. Members are entitled to the cancellation and refund of the contract if the contracting business location of the health studio goes out of business, or moves its facilities more than five (5) driving miles and fails to provide, within 30 days, a facility of equal quality located within five (5) driving miles at no additional cost to the buyer. 3. In the event a refund is due, the refund shall be an amount computed by dividing the contract price by the number of weeks in the contract term and multiplying the result by the number of weeks remaining in the contract term. The business location of a health studio shall not be deemed out of business when temporarily closed for repair and renovation of the premises: 1. Upon sale, for not more than 14 consecutive days; or 2. During ownership, for not more than seven (7) consecutive days and not more than two (2) periods of seven (7) consecutive days in any calendar year. A refund will be issued within 30 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation. 4. Members are advised to contact the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services for information within 60 days should the health studio go out of business. 5. The contract may be cancelled if the buyer dies or becomes physically unable to avail himself or herself of a substantial portion of those services which he or she used from the commencement of the contract until the time of disability, with refund of funds paid or accepted in payment of the contract in an amount computed by dividing the contract price by the number of weeks in the contract term and multiplying the result by the number of weeks remaining in the contract term. The buyer or the buyer`s estate seeking relief under this paragraph may be required to provide proof of disability or death. A physical disability sufficient to warrant cancellation of the contract by the buyer shall be established if the buyer furnishes to the health studio a certification of such disability by a physician licensed under Chapter 458, 459, 460 or Chapter 461 to the extent the diagnosis or treatment is within the physician`s scope of practice. In the event of a prepaid membership, a refund shall be issued within 30 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation. 6. The initial contract will not exceed 36 months and thereafter shall only be renewable annually. Renewal contracts may not be executed and the fee therefore paid until 60 days or less before the preceding contract expires. SHOULD YOU (THE BUYER) CHOOSE TO PAY FOR MORE THAN ONE (1) MONTH OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ADVANCE, BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR FUTURE SERVICES AND MAY BE RISKING LOSS OF YOUR MONEY IN THE EVENT THIS HEALTH STUDIO AND/OR THIS BUSINESS LOCATION CEASES TO OPERATE. THIS HEALTH STUDIO IS NOT REQUIRED BY FLORIDA LAW TO PROVIDE ANY SECURITY, AND THERE MAY NOT BE OTHER PROTECTIONS PROVIDED TO YOU SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PAY IN ADVANCE.
