Now Available! - Pay for CAG Fitness/Wellness Classes in Installments



CAG is excited to offer you the option of paying for Fitness/Wellness classes in 2 installments!*


To pay in installments, the cost of a fitness class will be broken down into 2 interest-free payments. The first payment is paid upon registration, and the second payment is automatically paid 6 weeks into the class session (typically the halfway point for our fitness classes).


CAG Fitness/Wellness Installments must be paid using a valid credit card through our AMILIA registration system.


*Somatic, Mindful Movement is not eligible for installments, as the class is only 6 weeks long.


CAG Fitness/Wellness Gift Certificates - Share the Joy of Staying Active


CAG Fitness/Wellness Gift Certificates are an excellent gift idea for that special someone in your life. The CAG Gift certificate is sent to your recipient by email on the date that you choose, so it stays a holiday surprise!


CAG Gift Certificates are not transferrable, do not represent a cash value, do not expire, and must be used in the CAG AMILIA registration system.
