What is a New Jersey Health Club Bond?

Know why this surety bond matters to your business and how to easily get one! 

It is a protection tool for clients who will be acquiring the health club’s services. First, the surety bond will ensure that the health club will provide its clients the services written on the health club services contract.  

 

Secondly, the health club will operate in accordance with the relevant state laws. If the health club defaults on its contractual obligations, violates any governing statutes, or goes into bankruptcy, the Obligee of the bond will have the right to file for compensation on behalf of the beneficiary. 

 

This requirement is mandated by Section 56:8-42 of the New Jersey Revised Statutes and enforced by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. 

 

Who is required to obtain this surety bond? 

Health clubs in the State of New Jersey including exercise gyms, spas, health spas, health studios,  reducing salons, or any establishment that provides services that pertain to the maintenance or improvement of one’s physical well-being. 

 

What is the Health Club Bond amount? 

$50,000 – bond amount for initial registration or before operating a health club 

 

For the rest, the bond amount should be 10% of the health club's gross income during the club's previous fiscal year. However, the bond amount should not be less than $25,000.
