WHO can enroll as an NFC Member, and what is the age limit?
Any student, ages 16-18, may enroll in a membership on their own and may use the club facilities on their own. They must provide a valid ID as well as a student ID or class schedule.
15 -YEAR-OLDS
Students who are still 15 would not have the option of having a Student Membership by themselves. The 15-year-old is required to be a part of a Family Membership to gain access to NFC. They will be able to use the club by themselves with this membership.
Note: Those student-athletes, ages 15 and younger, who are currently participating in the Prime Senior Group and are unable to participate in the Senior Weight Training Program, will have an alternate Dry Land offered at Green Meadow Pool.
HOW to enroll and HOW LONG will it take?
The student will have to come in person to the club to enroll in their new membership. If they are under the age of 18, a parent must be present to sign off on everything. Enrollment takes no longer than 15 minutes in one of the offices.
LENGTH of enrollment?
The student must enroll for a minimum of 12 months and can commit to a maximum of 36 months.
HOW MUCH does it cost?
Student memberships cost $39.95/month. NFC charges an additional $25 in January and July as maintenance fees. At sign up, new members will pay an enrollment fee which ranges from $4-$49.95, depending on the term of their agreement. A new member will also pay a pro-rated amount for their first month and a $15 fee for a membership card if they do not already have one.
WHAT IT COVERS at the club?
The members will have access to all of NFC Clubs except for the Signature Club location. This includes the free weight areas, all of the group classes, pools, sauna, steam room, hot tub, basketball court, etc.
- FAMILY MEMBERSHIP?
The Family Membership is a great option for all. The price of a Family Membership varies based on the size of the family as well as the type of membership that the family chooses. The cost would vary from $74.90/month to $124.90/month. A Family Membership would be an even better option for a 15-year-old. If the 15-year-old were on their family’s membership, they would have access to the club for the early morning Prime workouts on their own.

MEET the STANLEY FAMILY! Greg, daughter Sophia, wife Katie, son Jack
Dr. Greg Stanley will serve as a Sports Injury Consultant and Strength and Conditioning Consultant for Prime Aquatics. The Stanley Family is starting their second season with Prime Aquatics.
Greg is a native of East Tennessee and currently resides in Maryville with his beautiful wife Katie of fifteen years, along with his two amazing children, Sophia (age 10) and Jack (age 7), who are currently members of the Prime Aquatics. He enjoys spending time with his family, upland bird and duck hunting, shooting (trap/sporting clays), reading, running, cycling, swimming, strength training, and learning. He spent his last year training for a Half Ironman in Chattanooga, but due to COVID-19, the race was canceled, and he was deferred to May 21. Greg continued to train weekly and did compete and finish the Half Ironman Chattanooga!
Greg earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Maryville College (2005), a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2010) and a Doctorate in Health Education from A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri (2015). Greg began teaching in 2005 for the Knox County School System as a Physical Education and Strength/Conditioning Instructor. After a brief stay, he moved to Blount County in 2006 for a full-time position teaching PreK-5 Physical Education and Wellness. With his deep passion for learning, he pursued a master’s degree while working as a Graduate Assistant-Strength and Conditioning Coach for The University of Tennessee (Knoxville) Women’s Athletic Department.
Greg feels fortunate to have worked with all the women’s athletic teams at The University of Tennessee; however, he primarily designed and implemented strength and conditioning programs for volleyball, tennis, soccer, and novice rowing teams. His first taste of university teaching came with the development and implementation of a semester-based curriculum for undergraduate student assistant strength and conditioning coaches. While completing his doctorate, Greg worked as a clinical exercise physiologist and developed/implemented cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility programs for bariatric and cardiopulmonary phase 2 & 3 patients. He can sympathize and relate to students who strive to balance the demands of familial, professional, and academic responsibilities.
Additional certifications earned:
- Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CEP)
- Certified Exercise Physiologist (EP-C)
- Exercise is Medicine® Credential Level III
- Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
- National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
- Tennessee K-12 Teaching License
