 CHECK-IN

With your membership, you will be enrolled in our key-card system. The key-card will be personalized with your name downloaded on it. This will allow you access to the DOJYM 24 hours a day. When you use the card to enter into the DOJYM, a log is created in our system, therefore it is important that every member scan their card (even if you come with a friend, spouse, etc. No exceptions). If your card gets stolen or lost and needs to be replaced, there will be a $20 fee for a replacement card.

The minimum term for a medical freeze is three (3) months and the maximum is six (6) months.
