What the fitness center bond actually covers
South Carolina’s Physical Fitness Services Act (S.C. Code 44-79-10 et seq.) protects consumers who prepay for gym, studio, or wellness memberships. A physical fitness center is any facility or service that aids physical fitness through exercise or weight control.
Under S.C. Code 44-79-80, every center that enters into prepaid or credit contracts running more than three months or over $200 must maintain a surety bond with the administrator. The amount is set by the administrator from the estimated future cost to service the contracts sold, but cannot exceed $50,000.
The bond is for the use of the State of South Carolina and any member who has a cause of action against the center — typically when a center closes or stops delivering before prepaid contracts run out. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. Enter the figure the administrator set, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
