Our Club Policies & Procedures

The enforcement of these rules and policies is for the good of all members to assure the comforts and services to which each member of Innovative Health & Fitness is entitled. Management has the right to suspend or withdraw club privileges from any member, who in their opinion, has abused prescribed privileges or conducted himself or herself in a manner detrimental to Innovative Health & Fitness or its members. Such expulsion or suspension shall become effective immediately upon payment to such member of the pro-rated portion of their unused dues. There will be no refund of the enrollment fee. The manager or designee shall have complete charge of the club while on duty. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask for the manager at the front desk. Innovative Health & Fitness shall not be held responsible or liable by any member or guest for personal injury damage or loss of personal property for any reason. Anyone using Innovative Health & Fitness facilities does so at their own risk. #ihfcares

Club Hours

The club hours are subject to change without notice. The management reserves the right to close Innovative Health & Fitness from time to time to facilitate club programs and on certain holidays.

Membership Cards

All members are issued a membership card. Photo of member is required for security purposes. The card must be presented at the front desk each time you enter the building for access to the facility. A $5 fee will be charged for replacement of a lost membership card. Cards are non-transferable. Violation of this condition will result in termination of membership without refund. A $5 fee will be charged for each card not returned upon cancellation.

Payment for Membership

Membership dues are collected through electronic funds transfer out of checking account, MasterCard, Discover or Visa.

Membership Freeze

We offer three types of Medical Freezes: Medical, Military and Personal.

• Medical Freeze: A medical freeze will require written medical documentation from a doctor, precluding the member from using the facility. The note from the member’s doctor needs to state what the member’s limitations are and how long they need to be out for. There is no fee or prior notice needed for a medical freeze. The freeze will coincide with the member’s bill cycle. The maximum time on a medical freeze is one year and requires updated documentation from M.D. every three months. Contact membership for details.
• Military Freeze: A military freeze will require proof of military activation. Contact membership for details.
• Personal Freeze: We offer personal freezes meant for those who are planning to be out of the area for a few months at a time. These freezes are available once per calendar year at a cost of $9/month. Contact membership for details.

Cancellation of Membership

We would hate to see you leave, but understand that sometimes there is no way around it. Members must provide a 30-day written notice, in advance of the draft date (bill date), in order to terminate their membership. All membership cards must be turned in at the time of cancellation (or a $5 fee per card will be issued) and a termination form must be completed. No terminations will be accepted over the phone. There is no refund for cancellation of prepaid memberships. Click here for who to contact for cancellation processing.
