The fitness center chain has charged a monthly $10 fee for the tier for nearly three decades.
“Only new members who joined after it goes into effect will pay $15 for a monthly membership fee,” CFO Thomas Fitzgerald said. “Current Classic Card members will continue to pay $10 for the duration of their membership.”
