Membership Terms & Conditions

We like to keep things simple–with straightforward, no-commitment membership contracts after the first month, but there’s a few things we need you to know.

Please Review Carefully

This page is updated to provide information about current membership terms and conditions at Ascent. Please carefully review the membership agreement and let us know if you have any questions before enrolling in a membership.

Automatic Renewal Notice

This is an automatically renewing membership. Your payment method will be charged on a recurring monthly or weekly basis until you cancel. To cancel, submit your request at least 24 hours before your next billing date via the Update Membership Form at https://ascentclimbinggym.com/update-membership or by certified mail.

Buyers Right to Cancel

You may cancel this contract without penalty by sending written notice before midnight of the third business day after signing. Your notice must state that you do not wish to be bound by this contract.

To cancel within three business days, send written notice by certified or registered U.S. mail with delivery tracking to:

Ascent Climbing Gym
470 James Street
New Haven, CT 06513

OR via the Update Membership Form at: https://ascentclimbinggym.com/update-membership

Cancellation within three business days is without penalty, except for the fair market value of any services or facility access already received. Any amounts paid in excess of that will be refunded.

Your Auto Renew Membership

Your membership automatically renews on a recurring basis — monthly or weekly, depending on the membership type you select — and continues until cancelled. Each renewal is a one-month or one-week term, as indicated by your membership title, and renews indefinitely until you cancel in accordance with the cancellation procedures below.

Recurring Billing Authorization

By signing the auto renew membership agreement, you authorize Ascent Climbing Gym, LLC to:

  • Store your credit card or payment method on file.

  • Charge your stored payment method for recurring membership dues on a monthly or weekly basis, plus applicable Connecticut Sales & Use Tax (6.35%).

  • Continue charging your payment method at each renewal until your membership is cancelled in accordance with this agreement.

  • Charge applicable hold fees during any approved hold period.

Your payment method will be charged automatically at each renewal without additional notice.

Charges recur on the same day each month (for monthly memberships) or every Friday (for weekly memberships). Ascent will not send a separate invoice or reminder before each charge — it is your responsibility to cancel if you no longer wish to be charged. No refunds will be issued for non-use or failure to cancel. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current.

Membership Rates

Ascent offers both monthly and weekly auto-renew memberships. Monthly memberships renew automatically each month on the day originally purchased, or a start date selected at the time of purchase. Weekly memberships renew automatically every Friday and require a minimum commitment of 4 billing cycles (4 weeks).

    • Weekly memberships: $2/week

  • Your membership will automatically resume at your standard billing rate on your selected end date, or after 120 consecutive days, whichever comes first. Ascent will not provide advance notice before billing resumes. No action is required to resume your membership.

  • If you need to extend your hold beyond your selected end date, a new hold request must be submitted before the end date expires. If no extension is submitted, regular billing will resume automatically.

  • To resume your membership early, simply submit a new end date via the Update Membership Form at ascentclimbinggym.com/update-membership, or stop by the front desk and a staff member will reactivate your membership in person.

Family Membership Policy

Ascent may offer discounted Family Add On pricing for a member's spouse or romantic partner, and their children, provided they live in the same household. This offer does not extend to immediate or extended family (siblings, cousins, etc), roommates, dorm mates, or romantic partners who do not live together.

Family Add On pricing is only valid alongside an active, full-priced membership. If the primary membership is cancelled or placed on hold, any associated Family Add On memberships will revert to the standard full-price rate at the next billing cycle.

Special Cancellation Circumstances

Members (or their estates) may cancel without further payment obligation under the following circumstances, as required by Connecticut law:

  • Relocation: If you permanently relocate more than 25 miles from any Ascent facility (or a substantially similar health club that will honor your membership), you may cancel without penalty for any period not yet rendered.

  • Death: The member's estate will be relieved of any further payment obligation.

  • Disability: If you become disabled, you may either (1) be relieved of payment for the period of disability, or (2) extend your membership term by the length of the disability. A certificate signed by a licensed physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant is required.

  • Gym Closure: If Ascent ceases operation at the New Haven location where this contract was entered into, you will have no further payment obligation.

To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request and supporting documentation via the Update Membership Form or by certified mail to the address above.

Unpaid balances may be sent to collections.
