Yes. Annual verification is required.

Each year, members must provide an updated, signed letter on official agency letterhead from their department supervisor or manager confirming they remain employed full-time in a qualifying position.

Members must notify us if they leave or transfer out of a qualifying position. If eligibility cannot be verified or a member is no longer in a qualifying position, the complimentary Premium membership will end.

Why is eligibility limited?

We’re grateful for everyone who serves our communities. As a local business, we’re not able to provide complimentary memberships to every public service profession.

We’ve chosen to focus this program specifically on full-time patrol law enforcement officers and full-time 911 ambulance EMTs and paramedics serving the communities around our Franklin, Murphy, Sylva and Clayton locations.

Keeping the program clearly defined allows us to provide a meaningful benefit while keeping it sustainable for our fitness centers.

Additional Policy Information

Full-time status is determined by the employing agency. Members are responsible for notifying us if they leave or transfer out of a qualifying position.

Eligibility is determined by Health & Fitness management, and the program may be modified or discontinued at any time.
