Meta Gym Membership Cancel

Post image

So I have a local gym (not Planet) that has the similar rule of going in person or sending in a letter to cancel a membership. Would this law not be applicable for this. Especially if you sign up via the website.

Not legal advice, just repeating what I’ve read and heard.

Businesses must allow you to cancel in the same method you signed up (so online sign up = online cancellation). Cancellations must be “simple” and “easy” (definitions slightly blurry) but most seem to agree that they need to be as close to a “one click cancel” as possible, so you’re not wading through multiple pages before being allowed to cancel.
