Health Club / Gym / Spa Bond Information
The health club bond is a financial guarantee bond, required by many state governments of gyms and health clubs that collect payment of their members for services up-front. The bond is in place to protect the members of the club, should the club not fulfill their end of the prepaid membership. It guarantees that health clubs, massage studios and even self-defense clubs will fulfill their obligations, and that if they don’t, a claim can be made against their bond.

If the owner has a low credit score, or past due items on their credit report, annual premium typically ranges between 5% to 15% of the bond amount. For most states, our high risk rate does not exceed 7.5%.
