Hi,
I signed a 3 year contract for a gym membership. The contract that I signed stated the gym's name is Ladies Workout Express. I decided to join this gym because it would allow me to also visit all the other affiliate gyms whether near my home or near my job, which has a 10 mile difference. After attending the gym for about a year, I called up one of the affiliated gyms near my job and asked what I needed to do to work out there since my work hours changed and I was interested in going straight to the gym after work instead of sitting in traffic for an hour to get to the original gym I signed up at.
It turns out that the gym that I originally signed up at is no longer a part of the Ladies Workout Express corporate gyms. The owner brought out the 3 gyms that he used to own under Ladies Workout Express. They are still operating under the Ladies Workout Express name(sign) and my contract is a Ladies Workout Express contract. After speaking with the corporate office of Ladies Workout Express, they urged me to contact my Attorney General's office and file a complaint. They feel the contract should be made null and void since it seems to be under false pretenses.
So, I am now stuck at this gym that doesn't even meet my schedule constraints and I feel like I have been lied to because there are only two other gyms I can actually attend. I was lead to believe based on the Ladies Workout Express website that I could attend any affiliate gym. i was also told this by the guy who sat with me as I signed the contract. Uhhh, now I am stuck and still paying each month for a service that doesn't provide anything in return to me as the customer.
What legal recourse do I have with this situation?
