Common issues

I'm in an annual contract — what's the early termination fee?

The ETF is typically $175 or the remaining balance of your contract (whichever is less). Month-to-month members can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

Can I cancel if I moved away?

Yes — relocation is an acceptable reason. You'll need to provide proof of your new address (utility bill, lease) showing you live more than 25 miles from any Crunch location.

Can I freeze my membership instead?

Yes. Most Crunch locations allow a 1–3 month freeze for a small fee ($10–$15/mo). Ask at your home club.
