I called and was going to join
I called and was going to join; however, I was told all members need to give not only a credit card, but your personal checking account banking info.
Working in the credit arena for many years, I would never allow access to a company to go in and remove funds from my personal banking, I do go online and pay each month, but I would never allow another to go into my acct. (Big Difference), what a shame. I would have loved to join a 24hr gym.

Hi there, Rob! Most of our memberships require a checking account to draft fees every month, as well as a secondary form of payment, such as a debit/credit card. We're not requiring any more information that would be provided if you were choosing to pay with a check. This just helps you avoid missing any payments and getting stuck with late fees that are associated with lost/stolen credit cards. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our club manager with any questions or concerns. Our club manager would be more than happy to assist you!
