Gyms in Carrollton

National figures give you a baseline for Carrollton quotes. Fixr put a basic membership at $15 to $40 a month and gyms with more advanced equipment at $50 to $100 a month in January 2025. Forbes Health, citing Statista, gave a 2021 average of $28.58 a month, with prices from about $10 to $300.

The monthly fee is only part of the cost. Ask about initiation fees, annual fees, the contract length and how cancellation works before you compare one Carrollton gym with another. The Texas gyms guide has the fuller checklist.

Most membership gyms are "health spas" under the Texas Health Spa Act. A covered gym needs a Secretary of State registration for each location, renewed yearly for $100, must post the certificate where you can see it, and must print the registration number in the contract. The Act doesn't cover nonprofits, member-owned clubs or studios that only teach dance or aerobics.

• Search it. The Secretary of State's online health spa search shows whether a gym is registered and whether it has posted security. A PDF list is updated every Wednesday.
• Security. Unless exempt, a gym posts $20,000 to $50,000 per location, held for members who lose money if it closes. A gym can be exempt if it never requires a contract or prepayment longer than 31 days, financing, a bank draft or an initiation fee.
• Advertising. Gyms can't advertise that they are "bonded by the state".

1. Three business days. A full refund is yours if your written cancellation goes by certified mail before midnight of the third business day after the contract date.
2. Term limits. A contract can't run longer than three years, and financed contracts can't require payments for more than five.
3. Closure or move. You can cancel for a partial refund if the gym closes without offering a site within 10 miles, moves more than 10 miles or drops advertised services. It must post notice at least 30 days before closing or relocating; that notice isn't required after a fire, flood or act of God.
4. Death or disability. A member who becomes totally and permanently disabled, or the estate, can cancel and get unearned payments back.
