Membership types and dues rates have been posted at http://www.hfac.com/memberships.html and can be found at the bottom of this post. If you want more information on how these were created, please read on.
Hawthorn Farm Athletic Club is strongly committed to transparency and fair dealings. That’s why the dues are now and will remain posted online and offered equally to everyone. These rates were carefully crafted, looking at area demographics, industry information, ownership’s dues history from the Club we operated at Hawthorn Farm through 2012, and the more than 270 survey responses we received this month reporting dues that were being paid to Hawthorn Sport & Spa before their February closure.
There was a lot of variability in dues rates and fees in the survey responses, and our new rates hit the average. This means some people will find a dues reduction at the new club, and some people will find the prices are higher.
We have heard the feedback about lower cost Hillsboro competitors, and the higher end alternatives that are a bit further away. Hawthorn Farm Athletic Club’s business plan is a long-term health strategy to earn your membership through a high quality, community-based experience. We offer quality service from caring professionals, quality programming for all ages, and quality amenities that add to your overall Club experience.
Hawthorn Farm Athletic Club will charge a joining fee, and all memberships will be month-to-month. There won’t be annual renewal fees or hidden membership charges. The joining fee will be waived for anyone who can show they paid February dues to Hawthorn Sport & Spa. We invite any former member of the Hawthorn Farm location to come in and speak with us about joining fees once we open at 8am on Thursday, April 2nd.
Membership types were also carefully considered. Based on community input, we did away with the traditional “family” membership and instead allow either individual members or couple members to add their dependent children under the age of 23 to their account. We are offering a mature adult membership type for those age 65 and older. Again, our commitment to transparent, fair policies means membership policies will be open and equally offered.
As a new business, we do not have in place any corporate agreements with local businesses. This membership type will be investigated once the club is up and running, but is not currently available.
Our first email will be sent today (Friday, March 27th) to anyone who submitted an email address to our new business. If you would like to add your email address to our contact list, please submit it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6J2ZCNL
Early next week we plan to post and email the member enrollment form along with clear instructions in order to make joining our new club as easy as possible. We hope to see you next Thursday and beyond!
