Cathance Fitness Center

Membership Information

Memberships – The Cathance Fitness Center offers five different membership options for those looking to become members: An individual membership, a seniors individual membership, a couples membership, a senior couples membership, and a family membership. Each membership offers a monthly, single year, or single month purchase option. The monthly option is only credit card or debit card (Visa, American Express, or MasterCard only) and will be auto-renewed every 30 days after purchase until the membership is cancelled. The single year and single month options accept cash on delivery or a card and these memberships will expire automatically after the given time for the option selected. These options must be manually renewed in your My Account page or by purchasing a new membership at the end of your membership period.

Access to the gym fitness center requires both an active membership and an active Access Card. If a membership is cancelled or expires the membership will remain active until the end of the purchased period along with the Access Cards associated with the membership. Once a membership reaches the end of its paid period the membership will expire and your Access Card will be set to an inactive state. You will no longer be able to scan into the gym’s back entrance and only the front desk door will be accessible to you. If a payment fails to go through on a card, or if you fail to provide cash payment for single month or single year memberships, then your membership will be put on hold and your Access Cards will be set to an inactive state. Cash on delivery or check payment orders will begin their memberships at the time the check or cash is delivered to the front desk at the Cathance Fitness Center and continue until 30 days for single month memberships, or 365 days for single year memberships.

If you want to purchase a membership in person you can do so by visiting the front desk for the Cathance Fitness Center. A computer will be available for you to register for the site, complete your waiver, select your membership and Access Card, and make a payment. Cash or card payments are accepted for single year and single month options, but monthly auto-renew memberships must pay with a credit or debit card.

To check the status of your membership you can navigate to your My Account page after logging to the site and clicking on the “Your Memberships” link in the side menu (on desktop, mobile users will see the menu at the top). To manually renew your membership click on the “Your Orders” link and you can renew your single month or single year memberships from there. Memberships for monthly auto-renew, single month, or single year can be cancelled at any time, but the membership and Access Cards will continue to be active for the duration of the paid period until the membership is expired. Refunds will not be given for canceling a membership before the end of the paid period for remaining time left on the membership.

Access Cards – To enter the Cathance Fitness Center you must have an active Access Card to scan at the door for entry. Access Cards are a one-time purchase regardless of the membership you are purchasing and can be reactivated if renewing a membership. Access Cards can be purchased during checkout and they will remain active as long as your membership is active as well. If you have an existing Access Card that needs to be reactivated, select the option “My Access Card Needs To Be Reactivated” during checkout for your membership. The number of Access Cards you can order is based on the membership you are purchasing: 1 for single memberships, 2 for couples memberships, and up to 4 for family memberships. You have the option of picking up your Access Card in person at the Cathance Fitness Center at the front desk or having it shipped to you free of charge. If you want the card shipped to you (U.S. and Canada only) then you must provide shipping details in the checkout page and select the “Ship My Access Card To Me” option in the same page before submitting the order. If you only need to order a new Access Card while having an active membership or if you have any other special requests contact reception@fh-co.com or call 666-5651 ext 1000 for assistance.
