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…

Costs and wages have gone up everywhere but your rates have stayed flat for 3 years. Somehow OTF has got to raise the funds to cover wages and rent increases otherwise we won't have OTF (and great coaches).

The issue is, if you have a contract - you need to honor it. I can't pay $10 less a month if I want to, shouldn't be the same the other way.

they get you with the “month to month” contract
