Club Policy
Membership Dues:
Franklin shall fix the amount and terms of payment for charges of goods, services, and use of the facilities by members and guests, including fees for court usage. From time to time, adjustments must be made in the amount and terms of dues payments.
The obligation to pay dues is not dependent on the availability of all the club's facilities. Sometimes tournaments, repairs and maintenance require restricted hours and/or access to individual facilities. Dues will not be reduced or suspended during these times. Every effort will be made not to unduly inconvenience members while fulfilling our obligation to keep all facilities in the best possible condition.
There are different type of payment that Franklin Athletic Club accepts for shop dues credit card, cash or checks. Due by the 1st of the month. To avoid a monthly credit card charge, you must prepay by the 25th day of the preceding month.
A member who is on medical leave (unable to use the Club facilities) is responsible for one-third of their individual portion of their monthly dues. A doctor note stating a minimum of at least one month's convalescence is required to activate a Medical Hold. Memberships run continuously, and no temporary suspension is allowed because of travel schedules or personal needs.
Appropriate Dress:
With the exception of the pool areas, we ask that you please wear shirts, cover-ups and shoes in all common areas of the Club. Appropriate shoes should be worn in exercise classes, Fitness Centers, and on all court surfaces.
Code of Conduct:
All members must conduct themselves in a pleasant, professional manner. Fighting, abusive language or any behavior detrimental to the atmosphere of the Club will not be tolerated. Management has the right to immediately suspend and/or terminate any membership for non-payment of dues, program or court fees, rule violations, or for behavior that affects the enjoyment of the Club by other members. Also, no cell phones are premitted on the Fitness floor.

The entire facility (including the outdoor pool area) of the Club is non-smoking. Please deposit all cigarette butts in the ashtrays provided at each entrance.
