  • Ready to ditch that New Year's fitness resolution already? New York is making it easier. A new state law set to take effect on Saturday, Feb. 1 requires gyms and health clubs to process and issue refunds within 10 business days of receiving a membership cancellation request.

The article discusses a new law in New York, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul, which aims to simplify the process of canceling gym memberships. Effective immediately, this law mandates that gyms must allow members to cancel their subscriptions online, addressing the common issue of cumbersome cancellation processes. Previously, many gyms required in-person visits or phone calls to cancel, which could be inconvenient or even impossible for some members. The legislation also includes provisions for refunds if gyms fail to comply with the new cancellation procedures. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance consumer rights and convenience in subscription-based services.
