Is it worth joining a club before it opens?
Guide · Joining early
It's worth it when the early benefits are real, you know exactly what you pay and when, and you'd use the club anyway.
Joining early can get you better pricing and a say in the community before the doors open.
It also means trusting a club you can't walk around yet, so it pays to check a few things first.
The good reasons to join early
- Better pricing. Early members often get a lower rate than people who join after opening.
- Benefits that start now, not on opening day.
- Being part of the first group. You meet the people you'll play and train with before the club opens.
- Hearing everything first: pricing, perks and the opening date.
What to check before you pay anything
- Whether the club is real. Look for a named location area, the building size, what's inside and regular updates on progress.
- What you pay now, what you pay later, and what the payment covers.
- The terms: what they say if the opening moves or your plans change. Read them before you buy.
- How long any opening offer lasts, and what you keep if you don't take it.
- Whether you'd really go. A club you'd use every week is worth more than a discount on one you wouldn't.
How it works at Volta
The Founders List is free. You get early access and hear about pricing, perks and the opening first. There's no payment and nothing to choose.
The Founders Club is how you become a member before Volta opens.
Joining the Founders Club is $200, and Release One is limited to 1,000 Founders Club members.
Founders List members get 48 hours before the public when it opens.
It starts the day you join: the Founders Card, the Founders Network and privileges at Volta Partners across Hamilton, Grimsby and Niagara.
When you choose a Volta membership, you get up to $180 in savings on your first year, plus savings with Volta Partners.
If you don't choose one, you keep everything else.
The Founder terms are published on the site before the Founders Club goes on sale, so you can read them before you buy.
