The FTC alleges that LA Fitness' parent company is using "opaque and complicated" methods to make it difficult for customers to cancel memberships.

The agency’s lawsuit cited tens of thousands of LA Fitness customers who reported it was “exceedingly difficult” to cancel memberships and were charged unwanted fees.

The Federal Trade Commission sued LA Fitness over the gym chain’s allegedly onerous cancellation practices, the latest in a series of government cases accusing companies of making it difficult for consumers to end subscriptions.
