The NY Attorney General has filed suit against one of their largest gym chains; soon after, their legislature made sleazy practices like these illegal. We are worried things in MA will not change until the @MassAGO gets involved. https://t.co/bxZJtdvds9

Now that we have organized online and posted publicly, @abcfinancial suddenly wants to help. But when we individually tried to cancel through them during the pandemic, we were rejected. @GoldsGym

BIG NEWS TODAY: New York passes law making it easy to cancel gym memberships. MA needs this too! Thousands of citizens are being ripped off throughout the pandemic. @MA_Senate @RepRuthBalser @KarenSpilka @RepKayKhan @CindyFriedmanMA @cindycreem @SoniaChangDiaz @JamieEldridgeMA

[WNYC 🎙 @WNYC]

The new consumer protection law, signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday, requires that businesses with automatic renewal services provide an easy way to cancel gym memberships. https://t.co/6yIoBK2pCo

[Cancel Golds @CancelGolds]

The internet is filled with reviews from MA members using gyms managed by @abcfinancial, who cannot cancel during COVID unless they moved or have a new disability. Any attention to this issue would greatly help @SenatorMikeRush @SenJohnFKeenan @RepPaulMark @SabadosaMA @MindyForMA

[Cancel Golds @CancelGolds]

@aparnapkin @aparnapkin Hey Aparna! We are trying to organize around this issue now! Please check out our page.

[Cancel Golds @CancelGolds]

We are happy to see the NY Attorney General taking action against these predatory cancellation practices during COVID. Hopefully @MassAGO begins looking into this too.

How long until a class action lawsuit is filed against @abcfinancial and the gyms they manage (@GoldsGym, @retrofitness, etc.)?

Their members simply want to stop paying for a service that they cannot use during the pandemic.

Reach out to us to connect and share you stories.

Looks like @abcfinancial is scamming RetroFitness members in addition to Gold’s members.

There are so many of these stories from during the pandemic.

@retrofitness @GoldsGym

[Cancel Golds @CancelGolds]

And now they blocked us on Instagram (@ cancelgoldsgym) too 😂. If only their member services department worked as efficiently as their social media team, the internet wouldn’t be filled with 1-star reviews by members alleging predatory practices.

[Cancel Golds @CancelGolds]

The good news about Gold's Arlington blocking us is that it proves they are listening, even if they want to pretend they're not while passing the buck to @abcfinancial.

.@ GoldsArlington has blocked us 2 days after we created this account. We will not stop sharing stories of members that you have taken advantage of. All we are asking is you allow your members to cancel during a pandemic when they can't attend the gym. @GoldsGym @abcfinancial

@xblot Thanks for sharing, Alex, and sorry to hear it. It really is a striking combination of sleaziness, greediness, and a clear lack of sympathy for their members during COVID
