New York State law provides that you can obtain a refund on your membership if either of two conditions occur: 1. You become physically disabled and are unable to exercise for a period of 6 months or longer; 2. You move more than 25 miles from the health club. To obtain a refund you must present proof of either condition - a doctors note or a utility bill from your new location. All refunds will be pro-rated. This means your refund, if any, will be determined by deducting the cost of time already used from the time remaining. The cost of the time used is calculated using the cost of the shortest term membership program that best fits your utilization. For example, if you have used 4 months of a one year membership, the cost of your time used would be based upon the cost of a three month membership and a one month membership (four months total). Memberships can also, of course, be frozen as described below. Merchandise can be returned for store credit only.
Freezing Your Membership
The Fitness Incentive will allow you to "freeze" your membership when you can't attend for a period of 5 days or longer. The following restrictions apply: 90 Day Memberships are limited to 1 Freeze; Year memberships are limited to 3 Freezes. The total of all freezes cannot exceed 365 days. Members must notify us ahead of time to freeze their memberships. While your membership is on freeze, you will continue to be billed for any membership payments that come due. This allows your membership to stay current. When you return, your membership is taken off freeze, and the days it was frozen are added on to the end. There is no charge for freezing your membership.

If the credit card transaction cannot be completed for any reason, you will be asked to provide an alternative means of payment. If you have arranged for non-EFT payment, you must make this payment 7 days or more before the due date (the 1st of the month). Accounts that are 10 days or more overdue can result in cancellation of your membership, and/or the loss of credit privileges. Founding Members who fail to make their scheduled payment in a timely manner are subject to loss of Founder’s Membership privileges.
