gym won't let me cancel membership — sharing my story

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

gym won't let me cancel membership. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving fwiw.

The contract was signed 4 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $77,000.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

The choice-of-law clause matters more than people think. If the contract says "governed by Texas law" but you're in New York, you might have to litigate in Texas or under Texas rules. Negotiate this before signing.
