    They could send you to collections depending on how predictorly they are

    From there they could potentially take you to court. However, I doubt it since that would cost them a fortune.

        How so?

        The trial will be short as you likely signed a contract. You can’t just not pay because you don’t like the terms.

        The judge follows the law not what is right. We need laws to defend people against predatory companies.

          Just because a company puts a bunch of shit into a long contract and you sign it doesn’t mean it’s enforceable. They would say they asked to cancel the membership and there is proof(email). It doesn’t matter what gimmicks a company comes up with to make cancelling difficult. A judge would see right through those tactics.

          The jury, comprised of people who certainly have been fucked similarly, can find in the gyms favor and award them a whopping $1 in damages.

          Good luck convincing regular people bullshit cancellation policy is a gold reason to make someone pay
