Frequently Asked Questions

Membership information:
Please see our full Fitness Center reopening plan here.
As of January 1, 2021, in order to use the Fitness Center, your membership must be active. If you froze your membership with a membership extension from October–December 2020, it has restarted as of January 1st.  Members who paid monthly and are not delinquent or in good standing, meaning no dues owed, had their billing restarted. If you paid in full for your membership, the amount of months that we were closed will be added to your account, extending your expiration date.
 
If you would like to keep your membership on freeze for up to three more months (January – March 2021), you can pay an additional one-time fee:      

• $25 for Individual, Senior, Young Adult and Teen
• $35 for Couple, Senior Couple and Single Parent Family
• $45 for Family

Once that additional freeze is done (at the discounted one-time freeze fee rate instead of the usual monthly fee), the regular freeze policy will go into effect for future holds on your membership.
​
If you cancelled your membership and wish to use the Fitness Center, you must rejoin.

• What are the Hours of operation?

​Click here for hours of operation and contact info.

• Once I am a member, can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?

Upgrade your membership by adding on immediate family members. You would pay the difference of the initiation fee as well as the dues. Downgrade your membership by taking away members. There is a $25 administrative fee and your dues will be adjusted accordingly. Please note: You may not upgrade to a family membership for just the summer and downgrade in the fall.

• Can I put my membership on hold?

You can place your membership on a freeze or inactive status for personal or medical reasons. Please call membership services directly to place your membership on hold.

• What happens if I want to cancel my membership prior to the one year agreement?

There are three ways in which to cancel your membership prior to the one year agreement with proof, 30 days notice and a category based fee of $25-$45: 1) If you relocate geographically, 2) have a medical issue or 3) have a financial issue. Contact the Membership Services office for details or if you should have an extenuating circumstance.
