- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:The Federal Trade Commission v Fitness International LLC dba LA Fitness
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On August 20, 2025, The Federal Trade Commission filed a Complaint for Permanent Injunction, Monetary Judgment, and Other Relief against Fitness International LLC dba LA Fitness. Charges filed allege the business is in violation of federal law prohibiting unfair cancellation practices, inadequate disclosures, and failure to provide a simple cancellation mechanism.
The matter is pending.
In response to these charges, the business provided the following statement:
IRVINE, CA – August 20, 2025 – Fitness International, LLC, with over 40 years in business and operations expanded across 25 states, today issued the following statement regarding the complaint filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
Jill Hill, President of Club Operations at Fitness International, LLC, stated:
“We are disappointed that the FTC has chosen to pursue this complaint. The allegations are without merit, and the statute the FTC relies upon – the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA), enacted almost 15 years ago – was designed to address only online retail transactions, does not require any specific method of cancellation, and has never before been applied to the health club industry. We remain confident that we will prevail in court.It is important to note that most of our memberships, and all of our personal training memberships, are purchased in person at our club locations. Even so, 18 months before the FTC’s new ‘Click-to-Cancel’ rule was scheduled to take effect, we proactively launched an online cancellation option for all members, regardless of how they originally signed up. With just a few clicks, members may cancel online – a step we voluntarily implemented well ahead of regulatory deadlines. Although a federal court of appeals recently invalidated the FTC’s ‘Click-to-Cancel’ rule, we have chosen to keep our online cancellation program in place to provide members with yet another simple way to cancel. Members also have always had the option to cancel in person at any club, or by mail, and those who wish to do so can and do cancel in such fashion.
Our company works diligently to comply with all health club state laws regarding membership cancellations and to offer at a minimum every cancellation method specifically required by each state. Over the years, the company has taken many steps to improve its enrollment and cancellation processes.
Fitness International remains dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality fitness options while maintaining compliance with all applicable laws. We will continue to defend our practices vigorously while ensuring our members receive clear, simple, and fair membership experiences.”
