FTC Sues LA Fitness Over Impossible-to-Cancel Memberships

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing LA Fitness and other gym chains for allegedly making it nearly impossible for consumers to cancel memberships. The FTC's complaint highlights numerous obstacles, including restricted cancellation hours, requiring in-person cancellation with specific employees, and unclear instructions for mail cancellations. The FTC seeks a court order to stop these practices and provide refunds to affected consumers. This action underscores the FTC's commitment to protecting consumers from unfair business practices.
