Prorated vs. Anniversary Billing
Control when and how your members are charged each month
Fitness GM gives you two options for how recurring membership charges are scheduled. With Prorated Billing, all members are billed on the same day each month. With Anniversary Billing, each member is billed on the date they originally joined. Choose whichever fits your gym and set it once in Settings → Payments → Default Monthly Billing Date.
