How much will my Pennsylvania health facility bond cost?
Pennsylvania health club bonds do not have a set amount. Instead, the bond amount varies based on the length of contracts the health club offers to members. The price you’ll pay for this bond is subject to underwriting and depends on your personal credit report. Applicants with a strong credit report can expect to pay just 1% of the total bond amount!
Don’t let bad credit stop you from getting the bond you need. We get 99% of applicants bonded.

Why do I need this bond?
Health club bonds act as a security deposit to ensure that patrons of the health club will be refunded if the club closes prematurely due to bankruptcy. These bonds also protect consumers if the principal (health club owner/operator) breaches the terms of a health club contract or the requirements for health club contracts as specified by §3 of the Health Club Act.
