FAQ’S
(A more detailed explanation of these questions can be found in your “Membership Agreement")
1. How do I cancel my membership? Rascals has one of the MOST lenient cancellation policies in the industry! In order to cancel your membership, and stop billing for the 15th of that month the club requires notification in writing by the 1st of the preceding month by certified mail only. For example: If you want to stop your membership and not be billed for the January 15th billing, we would need to receive a written cancellation by December 1st. If written cancellation is received after December 1st you would be billed January 15th and allowed to utilize the facility until February 14th. A twenty-five ($25) dollar processing fee is due upon membership termination and surrendering your membership card. Certified Mail all cancellation notices to your particpating Rascals Fitness facility. We have provided a link to a cancellation form for your convenience!(Link)
2. What is the "processing fee" and why do you have it? At Rascals we choose NOT to charge you alot of money at the begining of the membership like other facilities often do. Why? Because there really is NO cost at the beginning for you to join our club. You can even join on line yourself! The $25 processing fee is a cost associated with a member: Being taken out of the billing system, surrendering their membership card, filing the cancellation request forms, fielding email and phone questions pertaining to billing, sending an email cancellation confirmation. This fee allows Rascals Fitness to place the actual cost of membership when and where it is hence keeping your monthly payment as low as possible.
3. Can I cancel on the phone or by telling a front desk attendant? No. Refer to question #1. To protect you we need the cancellation in writting. To protect you we "prefer" certified mail to make sure we actually recieve the letter. Email can have "identity validation issues". In other words someone else may be on your computer.
4. Can I "freeze" my membership? No. Due to our pricing being so low even if you miss 3 or 4 months at Rascals it is less expensive than to cancel and then return! Our contracts are ONLY a 45 day commitment so "freezing" didn't make sense.
5. What is the “Equipment Maintenance fee"? A $39 fee charged once a year to help control costs of maintaining the health club. Rascals has one of the lowest fees in the industry! This also allows us to keep our monthly fee low.
6. Does my guest have membership privileges? No. You must sign them in at the front desk when they arrive, and when you leave the club they must also leave. They are not a member and therefore have NO privileges, but are allowed to exercise with you as your guest!

11. What is the minimum age requirement to be a member? 14 years of age with an adult present. Under 14 years old we would like to speak to the child and the parent. We have made a few exceptions depending on the individual case. Please ask the front desk to schedule this meeting. Anyone under 16 years of age must participate in a "personal training session" to make sure they understand safe exercise practices. Anyone under 18 years of age can not sign a contract and a parent or guardian must "sign the membership agreement". If you are 16 years old or above, you may exercise without adult supervision.
12. What are the Rascals Rules? Always be courteous to other members, (remember…we all want to get into shape and we at RASCALS reserve the right to determine who is a RASCAL) -No dropping or throwing weights, (if you’re that strong you can place them down gently!) -Clean the equipment when you are through, (no one likes a messy machine!) -Place your weights back on the rack when finished (we are not your mother) -No screaming grunting or yelling (do I need to explain?) -No children in the facility. -Smile and have a good time!
13. What is a House Account? All Rascal members can “charge” a purchase to their account at the front desk, and then be billed on the 15th of the month with their membership dues! This is a fantastic benefit and many of our members will charge a "drink" or "T-shirt" to their account and not have to pay until their membership dues are charged.
14. Do you have childcare? No.
15. Why was I charged a late fee? Rascals will only charge you a $20 late fee when your account is returned by our billing company. Rascals will try to email and call you if there is a problem with your account. If you never respond, and we do not receive payment you are subject to an additional Late Fee.
