How will the transition to the new facility affect my current membership? We anticipate a minimum of three day closure at Santa Cruz Power Fitness while transitioning to Santa Cruz Athletic Club.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership later? Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your membership within the first month of opening at the presale rate. After that, changes will be subject to market rates.
Will my rates change after the term period? No! Your presale rates will remain the same after our membership terms.
What is your early termination fee? If you are within a contractual period and decide to cancel your membership, there is a $99 early termination fee, in compliance with California's Health Studio Services Contract Law. However, during our first month of being open, we will be flexible with terminations since we understand that members have not yet experienced our facility.
If you are currently a member of another gym in California and they are charging over $100 for an early termination fee or the remaining balance of your contractual term that exceeds $100, we recommend doing your research and bringing this law to their attention.
