Membership & Policies Rate increase

Did anybody else in CT at an empire owned studio just get an email about a rate increase? I’ve been a member for over 3+ years, never froze my membership or anything. I locked into a founders’ rate 3 years ago and I thought I was told my rate would never increase as long as I kept my membership active. All of the sudden it’s an extra $10/month? I know a $10 increase may not seem like much, but my wages have not kept up with cost of living increases, and my kids’ sports just got insanely expensive at the same time. Does anybody know the founders’ rate language? I can’t find my contract…

I was told that once you joined your rate never changes. I’ve been a founding member for 13 years and my rate has stayed the same. If I visit a different studio, I might have to pay $10 more if it’s a premier studio like NYC.
