  • Gift cards make great gifts!

  • How do monthly renewing memberships work? Dues are automatically deducted from your checking account or billed to your credit card each month. Dues, no more than one month at a time and no more than one month in advance, can be prepaid with cash, credit, or gift card, but at the non-renewing membership rate. For an monthly renewing membership to be cancelled or placed on hold, you must submit this form at least 1 day prior (24 hours or more) to the next billing date (we bill on the 1st of each month).

  • May I place my membership on hold? Absolutely - Monthly Renewing Members can place their membership on hold for up to six months at no cost. Holds start on the first of the month, and restarts happen on the last day of the month or when you visit to restart manually. Submit this form at least 24 hours before the freeze date to avoid being billed. You must also indicate a restart date, after which your membership will continue through at least the end of the next month and then indefinitely until cancelled or changed.

  • Monthly Mega Member Perks: In addition to standard membership benefits, ASCEND members can enjoy monthly perks. We'll announce the perk on social media and post it at our front desks. Perks may include retail discounts, guest passes, free items (like chalk, food, or swag), member referral incentives, and custom merchandise opportunities.
