I wonder how this would work for gyms?

They should clean up their act anyway. If other customers are like me I’ve been putting off joining for over a year because they’re so scammy and I don’t want to get locked in.

I even went to sign up and walked out because the price ended up being double what they advertised with weird fees and the base plan not being useable once they explain it.

Where did you get this notion from? The FTC was founded in 1914 and has broad authority over trade and consumer services of all kinds.
