[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is why I won’t join a gym. There is no legitimate reason a gym needs to charge someone for 15 months when they no longer want to go to the gym. Their whole business model is making money off of people NOT using the facility.  I hope you are able to get out of this contract, OP. [/quote]

That's great but most gyms have no commitment memberships as well. [/quote]

Be very careful of the gyms that tell you that you can sign up for a monthly membership or less. My large corporate gym says you can do a monthly membership and they never give customers a copy of the contract. They charge a higher monthly fee for the monthly contract but the contract you sign is very clear that you are signing up for a year long contract or longer.  People don't realize this until they try to cancel. They get screwed with a higher overall fee and are committed to the same old long term contract. [/quote]

Misleading customers is grounds for breaking a contract. [/quote]

The contract, like every other one I've signed, also has strict provisions for going to mediation instead of suing etc. The terms of their contract are exceedingly anit-consumer. My gym even has a clause that members can't criticize them online even though the FTC disallows this. [/quote]
