The credit will be applied to annual membership dues and has no cash value or refund option. For a referral discount, the new member must not have been a one-month or annual member since February 2022. This offer cannot be combined with other promotions for both the referrer and the referee. To participate in the referral program, the new member must mention the referrer’s name at the time of purchase. Credits will not be provided retroactively.

Refunds will not be granted for services or classes that have already taken place whether or not the participant attended. Participants will be refunded the prorated amount for the remaining classes, less the $18 administrative fee.
