H 341 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to transparency in health club cancellation policies

This bill requires health clubs in Massachusetts with 200 or fewer members that operate websites to provide a visible option for members to cancel their contracts online. The law aims to make it easier for consumers to terminate their memberships without having to visit the physical location. It specifically applies to smaller fitness centers that already use digital platforms for their business operations. The provision does not change cancellation rules for larger clubs or those that do not use websites.
