New Jersey’s Health Club Services Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-39 et seq.) requires a club that sells contracts longer than three months — or collects more than three months of dues in advance — to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs and post security backing its members’ prepaid dues.
The security is filed with the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs to protect buyers who are damaged or suffer a loss by reason of the club’s breach of contract or bankruptcy. A surety bond is one of the accepted forms of security, alongside a letter of credit or deposited securities.
A new club generally posts a $50,000 bond; once a club has a full fiscal year of operating history, the amount is generally 10% of the prior fiscal year’s gross income. Enter the figure your registration requires and your exact premium appears — pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed health club bond is generated instantly, ready to file with Consumer Affairs.
