Gyms in Clear Lake

The Secretary of State's online health spa search shows whether a gym is registered and whether it has posted security, money held for members if it closes. A registration costs $100 and lasts a year. Most gyms must post $20,000 to $50,000 per location, unless they never take contracts or prepayments longer than 31 days, financing, bank drafts or initiation fees.

Nonprofits, member-owned clubs and dance-only or aerobics-only studios fall outside the law, so ask which kind you're joining.

A Clear Lake member who signs and then has second thoughts gets three business days: a cancellation notice mailed by certified mail before midnight of the third, with proof of payment, brings a full refund within 30 days. A contract can't run more than three years. If a storm leaves the gym unusable for 30 days or more, it must extend your contract by that time, which matters in a hurricane season that runs June 1 to November 30.

Fixr's January 2025 national figures put basic gyms at $15 to $40 a month. See the Texas gym guide, the Clear Lake guide or gyms in Webster.
