Gyms in Corinth

The required amount rises with a location's prepaid memberships, from $20,000 to $50,000, posted as a surety bond or certificate of deposit (SOS FAQ). A gym can skip it if it never requires contracts or prepayment over 31 days, financing, automatic drafts or initiation fees (Health Spa Act). The SOS online search shows whether a gym has posted security, so check before prepaying, and match the registration number in your contract to the certificate posted at the front desk.

A gym must post notice at each entrance, and tell the Secretary of State, at least 30 days before closing or relocating, unless fire, flood or another act of God forces the closure. To claim, send your contract and proof of payment to the SOS by certified mail within 90 days, and keep copies. Recovery covers only actual loss and is prorated if claims exceed the security.

If the gym moves more than 10 miles, you can cancel for a refund of unearned payments. Fixr puts basic memberships at $15 to $40 a month nationally (January 2025). See the gyms guide, the Corinth hub, or gyms in Denton.
