Chuze Fitness Military Discount: None Posted, but a Hold for Orders

Chuze Fitness posts no military discount, but it does write military orders into its hold policy. The dollar figure to know is $58: the cancellation fee Chuze says may apply when you leave a 12-month commitment early. On qualifying orders, 50 U.S.C. § 3956(e)(1) says a gym “may not impose an early termination charge,” so that $58 is off the table.

No military rate on any of Chuze’s 68 club pages

On October 10, 2026, Chuze’s FAQ and membership pages had no military discount. Its locations page linked 68 clubs: 32 in California, 12 in Colorado, 12 in Florida, 4 in Arizona, 4 in New Mexico, 3 in Texas, and 1 in Georgia. Every one of those club pages was read the same day. None mentioned a military rate. The only hits for “veteran” were Veterans Day hours and marketing copy calling experienced lifters “veterans.”

Chuze sells each tier two ways: with a 12-month commitment, or with none. One club shows the spread.

One club’s prices, read on its chuzefitness.com page October 10, 2026. Enrollment was $0.18 under an offer that page said expires October 19, 2026. The card listed the annual fee as $64.94; the site footer states $59.99, so the card figure appears to include tax. Credit card payments add $2.99 each time; bank (ACH) payments do not.

The hold Chuze writes for orders

Chuze’s membership rules say billing “may only be frozen or put on hold for medical reasons with a doctor’s note or with military orders.” The FAQ defines the military case as a “temporary active-duty military transfer or deployment to a location more than 25 miles from a Chuze Fitness location.” You send the documentation to your home club or through the Chuze app.

Two limits matter. First, the 25-mile test, as written, runs from any Chuze location, not just your home club, so a move to another Chuze city appears not to qualify. Second, Chuze describes the cost of only its other option, a paid freeze open to anyone for up to six months a year at “a discounted monthly fee,” with no dollar figure. For that freeze, Chuze says the annual fee still bills on its date and a 12-month term grows by the months frozen. Chuze does not say whether the military hold works the same way. Ask before you leave.

Chuze’s rules against § 3956

Under § 3956, your Chuze contract has to predate the orders, and the orders have to relocate you for not less than 90 days to a location that does not support it. A 2023 amendment added a stop-movement case for contracts signed after PCS orders. The explainer for every covered contract has the general rule, and the statute page has the text.

Chuze rules quoted from its FAQ on October 10, 2026. Statute checked that day against the 2024 U.S. Code on GovInfo.

The 10-day rule still helps you. The statute lets Chuze keep the rest of the billing period you end in. Notice that lands 10 days before a billing date means no new period starts, and nothing to chase.

The Lee Trevino Premium plan, priced

Take a Soldier on Premium at Lee Trevino, $29.99 a month on a 12-month commitment instead of $34.99 with none. That choice saves $5 a month. PCS orders arrive after five payments.

Figures before tax, from the Lee Trevino card. Your agreement’s dates set the real numbers.

The lesson runs against the usual advice. A civilian who might move should skip the commitment, because $58 erases about a year of $5 savings. A servicemember whose orders qualify can take the cheaper rate, because the fee cannot be charged. Orders under 90 days do not qualify, and a move to a city with a Chuze you can use on Premium weakens the claim that the contract is unsupported there.

Cancel Chuze on orders

End a Chuze membership under § 3956

1. Find your billing date and commitment end date in the Chuze app or member services portal.
2. Write the notice: your name, home club, the date service ends, and “I am terminating under 50 U.S.C. § 3956; do not charge the $58 cancellation fee.” The letter generator drafts it.
3. Include the orders and name the new duty station. If no Chuze club is within reach of it, say so.
4. Sign the cancellation form at any Chuze club and hand over the notice and orders. If you are already gone, cancel in the app or member services portal and email the notice and orders to info@chuzefitness.com. Do it at least 10 days before the billing date.
5. If you paid in full, ask in the same notice for the unused months back under § 3956(f).
6. Check the next statement. Dispute in writing any $58 charge or any draft for a billing period that starts after your end date.

If the $58 shows up anyway, dispute it with the club in writing first; the enforcement guide covers what comes next.

Spouses, Guard members, and other gyms

The right belongs to the servicemember. A spouse’s own Chuze membership qualifies only in the narrow cases the family guide explains. Guard and Reserve members on qualifying orders are covered; Guard and Reserve coverage lists which orders count. 24 Hour Fitness also writes a military freeze into its policies, and its military page compares it. Before you move, run the rest of your bills through the deployment checklist.

The law behind this: 50 U.S.C. § 3956

Termination of certain consumer contracts: gym memberships and fitness programs: read the statute , or read § 3956 in plain English, with its enforcement record .
