What is the name of your state? TEXAS.
I need real legal advice here. I have a gym membership. The gym has changed their operations significantly - they removed the basketball court, and now have a baseball hitting facility in it's place. They did not contact any members about the changes. I pleasantly asked the gym to cancel my membership because of the changes they have made. I enjoyed basketball. They refuse to cancel the membership. To complicate things, they have been sold to new owners. It's the new owners who will not cancel it. Furthermore, there's a billing company (out of state) who apparently owns the contracts. I spoke with them again in person today, apparently there are about 100+ people who are upset about the significant changes and want to cancel their memberships. The gym is acting hardcore and not negotiating. Their contractual language is weak. I'm interested in some advice, I'm ready to move to the next level....sue, contact governmental agencies, and perhaps find a lawyer who's interested in a class-action suit.
To add to the complexity, prior to these significant changes, they sent out a ton of direct mail to encourage people to buy a 2-yr prepay cash membership plan--that's fraud in my opinion, and I still have the direct mail.
Replies appreciated.
