It’s February. Your New Year’s resolution to join a gym is, well, another resolution to fall by the wayside. Can you cancel your membership?
The Colorado Consumer Protection Act allows you to cancel the membership contract within three days of signing the contract or when:
(I) The buyer dies;
(II) The buyer becomes totally physically disabled as determined by a licensed physician or advanced practice nurse for the duration of the membership contract;
(III) The health club is moved to a location that is more than five miles from the location of the establishment when the buyer entered the membership contract;
(IV) The membership in the health club is transferred to a location of the same club or another club, which location is more than five miles from the location of the club when the buyer entered into the contract, and this transfer occurs because of cessation of health club services at the club location from which the membership is transferred;
(V) The seller permanently discontinues operation of the health club or sells the health club and the sale results in substantial alteration of the quality of health club services or facilities or the nature of benefits so that they no longer conform to the provisions of the membership contract, but there shall be a thirty-day “right to cure” during which the fees payable by the buyer under the membership contract shall be suspended and the health club may bring the services, facilities, and benefits into conformance with the provisions of the membership contract.
