MEMBERSHIP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you explain what the Plus package is and how it works?
The Plus package is a membership add-on for people interested in taking multiple fee-based classes offered at The Center. By adding Plus to your membership for an additional $38 per month, you receive $1,500 in credit to use in any way and at any time that you’d like (excluding trips, personal services such as pedicures, and select special programs or events) and have access to The Center’s equipped fitness room for a year, no credits or additional fees needed (a $240 annual value).
With fee-based classes priced at about $10 per program hour, this add-on package equates to better than a “Buy One, Get Three” deal. Based on a 50-week year (accounting for days The Center is closed for holidays), this $1,500 credit equates to three hours of fee-based programming per week. If you participate in one fee-based program per week, the Plus package offers clear financial savings. Once you spend down the credits, you pay for fee-based programs à la carte. The total of membership and a Plus package is $60 per month ($720 annually).
Why would I choose to add the Plus package to my membership?
Membership provides access to a full spectrum of valuable healthy aging programs and activities. Some programs and services have an associated fee, and these are always available à la carte. For members who participate in fee-based programs, the Plus package can be a more economical option; rather than paying $10 per program hour for these classes, your cost would only be about $3 per program hour for the first 1500 hours. If you participate in one fee-based program per week, the Plus package offers clear financial savings. The Plus package also includes use of the equipped fitness room which otherwise costs $20 per month.
Is use of the equipped fitness room included in membership?
Membership does not include the equipped fitness room, but unlimited use of this facility is available to members for $240 per year. Members can also pay this in monthly installments of $20 per month. The fitness room is included in the Plus package.
Can I pay for my annual membership in monthly installments?
You can! Contact Suzanne Orejuela at 434.220.9732 to set up monthly payments.
My spouse and I have a household membership. If only one of us is interested in fee-based classes, can we add the Plus package for just that one person?
Absolutely! This is what we call a Mixed Membership. The cost is $930 per year or $78 per month.
What if I purchase an annual membership and later decide to add on the Plus package?
No problem. We can prorate your membership dues and Plus credits accordingly.
Are scholarships available for membership?
Yes. Contact Suzanne Orejuela at 424.220.9732 for more information.
