PCI Compliance

What is PCI compliance?

PCI (Payment card industry) Security Compliance has become a hot topic in the credit card industry due to increasing fraud. PCI compliance addresses the retailer or club's internal security setup and practices with the purpose of mitigating payment security risks. The intention is to protect sensitive credit card information that is being stored electronically.

At Northfield, we have already implemented a process that is PCI compliant. We do not store credit card information and we cannot see your credit card information as it is encrypted. That is why when your card expires, you must provide us with a new number/the previous number and the new expiry date.

If businesses ignore PCI security compliance they are opening themselves up to potential lawsuits, insurance claims, credit card issuer fines & account cancellations and Government fines.

For more detailed information on PCI Security Compliance please visit the PCI Security Standards Website at www.pcisecuritystandards.org.

Renovations Week of September 19th

Over the course of our expansion we will be using this blog to keep you updated on any room closures or disruptions. Our goal is to cause as little disruption to your routine as possible while still completing the necessary work in a reasonable time. Thank you in advance for your patience.

This week we will continue to work in the climbing area.  There will be no access to this area during work hours: 7:30am - 4:00pm Monday- Friday. Outside of these hours, members will have access to the punching bag and TRX/chin up bar.

Look for more punching bags and TRX training workshops once this area reopens.

New Blog and Website

Over the last couple of months, we have spent time not only running off Christmas turkey and trying to stay the course with the new year's resolutions but also re-designing the club website.
A number of the features are now more intuitive to better serve our members.
Including:
  • An interactive calendar of events
  • Request for joining as a new member
Take some time to have a look around and we appreciate any feed back you have.
