Membership Changes

A 30-day written notice is required to make any changes to a membership. Please notify the Galter LifeCenter of changes in your general information (e.g. address, phone number, emergency contact, credit card expiration date, e-mail etc.) or health status (e.g. pregnancy, diagnosed illness, etc.) by coming to the Membership Office and completing the appropriate change form. A signature from the primary member is needed before any changes can be processed. Membership changes cannot be made over the phone or by fax.

Medical Hold

If a physician recommends that you abstain from exercise, making you unable to utilize your membership, we can put your membership on a medical hold. The medical hold will take effect as of the date we receive written notification from your physician. A membership can be placed on medical hold for a maximum of six months.

Medical holds will take affect the first day of the month following the date we receive written notification from your physician. Notice must be given by the twentieth of the month prior to when the hold is being requested.  Memberships cannot be placed on medical hold for any less than one month. We will begin charging your account after the hold period is over. We ask that you submit written approval from your physician once you are able to resume exercising. There is no fee charged for putting a membership on medical hold or during the medical hold.

Temporary Hold

A membership can be placed on temporary hold for a maximum of four months. Notice must be given by the twentieth of the month prior to when the hold is being requested. A fee will be charged each month the membership is on temporary hold. Temporary holds can only start the first day of a month. Memberships cannot be placed on temporary hold for any less than a month. Please note that retroactive refunds will not be issued once monthly dues have been paid.

Cancellations

Membership cancellations must be done in person. Please contact the Membership Office at (773) 878-9936, ext. 7308 for more information.
