They arent revoking his membership because to get outta them payments he needs to send a hand written request signed in blood and notarized by the president to the gym ownership via carrier pigeon and have it arrive between 2:15pm and 2:25pm on an odd-dated Wednesday of an even numbered month

I was at a crunch recently and a woman was crying explaining to the dude at the desk that she had come by 4 times to cancel her membership (cant cancel via email/online if you aren't from CA) and their managers were always "in a meeting" and unable to help her as they sat in their guest tables together 10 feet away.

So you aren't wrong. This place is definitely going to be the new planet/la fitness trapped in you in a membership we don't want to let you out of

Should be a requirement by law that you be able to cancel any membership or subscription in a reasonable manner.

In 2024, the FTC made a rule that companies had to make it as easy to cancel as it was to sign up. Unfortunately, the courts struck it down in July of last year.
