VA health club bonds.
$275 at checkout.
The security Virginia requires under the Virginia Health Club Act (§59.1-306) to protect members' prepaid dues if a club closes. The required amount steps up with your unexpired contracts — $10,000 up to 250, $20,000 for 251–500, $30,000 for 501–750 and on up to $100,000 — and § 59.1-306 has no $25,000 step. This $25,000 bond is $275 at checkout ($250 plus a $25 carrier charge): it exceeds the $10,000 and $20,000 amounts, so a club with up to 500 unexpired contracts can file it; a club above 500 needs $30,000 or more — send us your count and we quote that amount.

What it is and who needs it.
What the health club bond actually covers
Virginia's Health Club Act (Va. Code §59.1-294 et seq.) requires a club that sells prepaid memberships to file a surety bond with the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The bond protects members' prepaid dues if the club goes out of business before their contracts end.
Under §59.1-306, the required amount steps up with the number of membership contracts you have sold — in the schedule of § 59.1-306(A): $10,000 for up to 250 unexpired contracts, $20,000 for 251–500, $30,000 for 501–750, $40,000 for 751–1,000, then $10,000 more per 250 contracts to $100,000 at 2,001 or more. There is no $25,000 step; this $25,000 bond meets or exceeds the $10,000 and $20,000 amounts and does not satisfy $30,000 or above.
No club is required to file more than $300,000 in total, and multi-location operators can use a blanket bond at that cap. If your contract count moves you above 500 unexpired contracts, you file a replacement bond at the new amount — send us your count and we quote it. The bond is continuous: the surety may withdraw only on 60 days’ written notice to the Commissioner (form OCRP-34).
