Gyms in Southlake

These are national figures rather than Southlake prices. The average monthly membership was $28.58 in 2021 (Statista, as cited by Forbes Health), with prices from about $10 to $300 a month. Fixr puts a basic membership at $15 to $40 a month and gyms with more advanced equipment at $50 to $100 (national, January 2025). Ask for the monthly rate, any initiation or annual fee and the cancellation terms in writing, then compare against the Texas gym guide.

Health spa registration

A gym covered by the Health Spa Act may not sell memberships without a certificate of registration from the Secretary of State for each location. The certificate must be posted at the gym and the number printed in your contract. Use the Secretary of State's online health spa search to confirm the location is registered and whether it has posted security.

Security for prepaid members

Unless exempt, a gym must post $20,000 to $50,000 of security per location, held for members who lose money if it closes. Month-to-month gyms with no contracts or prepayment over 31 days, financing, bank drafts or initiation fees can be exempt. If a gym asks you to prepay a year, check that security is posted first.

Studios outside the Act

Studios that only teach dance or aerobics, tax-exempt nonprofits and member-owned private clubs are not covered, so the registration check will not find them. Read those contracts closely.

Cancel within three business days by certified mail for a full refund. A contract may not run longer than three years, and financed contracts cannot require payments for more than five. If the gym closes without offering facilities within 10 miles, moves farther than that or drops advertised services, you can cancel for a partial refund. The Secretary of State only registers gyms, so a Southlake billing dispute belongs with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, (800) 621-0508.

A gym that sells memberships before it opens must hold the prepayments in an FDIC-insured escrow account until 30 days after opening, unless exempt. If it does not open within 180 days of first selling, or does not stay open 30 days, prepaying members are generally entitled to a full refund. Before closing or moving, a gym must post notice at each entrance at least 30 days ahead (not required after a fire, flood or act of God), and members of a closed gym have 90 days from the Secretary of State's closure notice to claim against its security.

A gym routine often pairs with other health appointments: see dentists in Southlake, or compare gyms in Grapevine. City services are in the Southlake services guide.
