Membership Questions
I lost my key card. Can I get a new one? Is there any additional fee?
We can issue you a new key card in the event your card gets lost or stolen. There is a $5.00 fee for each replacement card.
I believe my insurance covers fitness memberships. How can I find out if your center qualifies?
Fit for Life offers monthly discounts to those with insurance policies that cover the fitness plan. We are not at liberty to list the insurance companies that apply, but you can simply call us to find out if your insurance qualifies.
Depending on your insurance company, they require either 8 or 12 visits per month to be eligible for the $20.00 monthly discount. That equals only 2-3 attendances per week to save you a significant amount of money per year on a fitness membership at Fit for Life. You sign up for a membership, sign up for the discounted insurance fitness plan and Fit for Life does the rest for you. It's that simple and it's a great benefit.
FYI: Fit for Life is a provider with two insurance fitness plans that no other club in Faribault is eligible for. Call for more information.

Do you have a temporary membership?
Because Fit for Life runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year and each person using the facility is issued a key card to access the club, we require a membership contract. However, we do offer short-term summer rates for students and we have a day pass rate for those visiting a member and want to use the club for a day or two. We also offer 1 week FREE to anyone interested in trying out the equipment or attending a class to see what Fit for Life has to offer before making a final decision on a long-term commitment.
Do you offer Child Care at your facility?
YES, Fit for Life has recently added Kids Corner Child Care to the many services we offer. We have a fun, safe room set up for the kids to play and it is open and staffed several hours per week. Parents with small children can now bring their children with them to the club knowing they can get their work-out in without the worry of finding care for their children. We are excited to offer this NEW service so come for a tour and check it out!
Can I discontinue my membership before my contract runs out?
In the event that you become sick or disabled, your membership contract can be placed on a temporary "freeze" or, with a signed note from your physician stating that you are unable to exercise for medical reasons, we will cancel your membership. There is a $50.00 early cancellation fee required.
In the event that you move from Faribault to another city, we will cancel your membership. There is a $50.00 early cancellation fee required.
