Membership Freeze Policy
Standard Freeze
a. In-Term Memberships
Members with active in-term memberships have the option to freeze their membership at a cost of $2 per week. This freeze is available for a maximum duration of six months over the life of the membership.
b. Outside Membership Term
Members who are outside of an in-term membership (i.e., not currently in a fixed membership contract) are not subject to a maximum freeze duration and can freeze their membership indefinitely at the same rate of $2 per week.
Medical Freeze
a. Initial Period
Members who present a valid medical certificate indicating that they cannot exercise due to a medical condition will be granted an initial freeze period of up to eight weeks at no charge.
b. Reassessment
After the initial eight-week period, the free will be reassessed. Members may be required to provide updated medical documentation.
c. Extended Medical Freeze
If the medical condition persists and it is deemed appropriate, the suspension may be extended for another eight weeks at no charge. Further extensions beyond 16 weeks may incur the standard $2 per week freeze fee, depending on the nature of the medical condition and its impact on the member’s ability to use the gym facilities.
Maximum Freeze Period
On any in-term membership, the total freeze period (standard and medical combined) cannot exceed 26 weeks. If a member’s freeze period reaches this limit, the membership will be deemed abandoned, and the membership term will end. Members who wish to cancel their membership under these circumstances will be required to pay 75% of the remaining membership fees. Alternatively, they may transfer the membership to another individual. (See transfer policy)
