flag Australian gyms resist laws easing cancellations, citing financial risks and urging balanced solutions.

flag Australian gyms are opposing proposed laws that would ease membership cancellations, warning such changes could jeopardize their financial stability and staffing. flag Operators say ongoing memberships are vital for covering costs, even when members don’t attend regularly. flag While supporting fairer practices, they caution that strict, online-focused rules may disproportionately harm small, community gyms without legal resources. flag Industry group AUSactive promotes a voluntary code with cooling-off periods and membership limits as a balanced alternative. flag Consumer advocates argue many gyms still use high-pressure sales and hidden cancellation barriers, undermining consumer choice. flag With memberships contributing $2.2 billion to the $3.7 billion fitness industry, the debate centers on balancing member rights with business sustainability.
