Aside from making it A financial burden to use a gym we already paid for this also Would negate us ever bringing our friends in for a quick drink on my our way to another restaurant in The city. Removing the free parking also makes it More dangerous to use the club late at night I would not feel safe having my wife walk alone to her car parked on the street because it would be cant afforded the outrages parking every time we want to use our membership. The new fee also unfairly targets us that live in the suburbs. We don’t have the privilege of Living near mass transit that we can use to get to the club. This is very disappointing.

Club membership is already expensive and one of the perks was having the club on my way home from work. It's bad enough to lose the front door but parking now too?!

As someone who lives in Jersey now and already spends $5 multiple times per week to use the gym, I will likely have to reconsider my membership if I have to pay $13 for parking. I cannot justify spending almost $20 per day on top of membership dues. I love the Fitler Club and would be very sad to leave but I don’t know that I could justify the cost any more.

It was a true shame to see this news come through on the club update email. Not sustainable for members and families. There would not only be a mass exodus, but word of mouth would spread and hurt the clubs reputation. Hoping they reconsider, I'm sure members would be happy to pay being there longer than 2 hours.

The parking changes would affect my families club usage and how much I come to Offsite. Membership clubs are built off of membership perks and easy access to utilize facilities and services. Hours are already inconsistent on when the club closes, to pay for parking and to have to leave would be even more inconvenient.

Having to pay for parking when I go very regularly for the club would make it too expensive and I would cancel my Fitler membership

Short-sighted plan. Needs to be reworked even if it just ends up being free for under 2 hours. If over, then charge accordingly. Deal with repeat abusers one-on-one. Don't penalize everyone. My 2 cents.

I support 2 hour free parking, and only charging above 2 hours - that's reasonable. Please don't add this fee for under 2 hour stay.

I do not agree. Adding cost to park will only lose folks not gain. Member fee's are already high.

I didn’t sign up for these additional charges when I registered as a member. This isn’t sustainable

Thanks for this petition. I did not like the idea of charging for parking. I am willing to work with the club and come up with a better plan. More fees are not the solution I want.

My membership was sold to me with the benefit of free 2hour parking. I completely disagree with the proposed changes, and find it insulting to our intelligence to state it was a decision prompted by the members. This feels like price gouging.

When I joined in April 2022, Fitler marketed its free, convenient garage as a major selling point of membership. One of the big draws of membership was the ease of parking.
When I raised the issue of this parking fee, Fitler Club management told me: "For shorter visits to the Club, we highly recommend utilizing street parking. Metered parking is especially convenient for a quick trip to the Club."
This is an absurd statement for three reasons. First, major construction at the intersection of 23rd and Market makes the roads already significantly more congested. Second, finding street parking is easier said than done, especially if you go to the gym in the morning or to drinks in the evening. Third, Fitler itself marketed its free, on-site parking as a perk of membership.
I've been significantly reevaluating whether I should keep my membership, and what other charges may be on the horizon.
