What it is and who needs it.
What the health club bond actually covers
Alabama's Health Studio Services Act (Ala. Code §8-23-1 et seq.) requires a health studio that sells contracts for services to be rendered at a planned studio or one under construction to purchase a security bond of not less than $50,000, or file an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit. The point is to protect members who pay up front before a facility is fully open.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. A buyer who suffers a loss by reason of the seller's breach of contract or bankruptcy may bring an action on the bond and recover against the surety. The surety's total liability can't exceed the aggregate amount of the bond, regardless of how many claims are filed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a buyer's claim, you repay the surety. Whatever your situation, we issue the $50,000 bond at $500 flat, and no credit check. If your facility doesn't fall under the preopening/planned-studio rule, send us your details and we'll confirm whether a bond is required.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File and keep selling memberships. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to hold and file as the Health Studio Services Act requires before and while you sign membership contracts. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
