Sigh, why don't you just post the document you signed when you joined the gym? That way we don't have to speculate is and isn't bound by law.

You did get a copy of it didn't you?

If it's stated in the contract that you must complete your 1 year contract with them and you go to the press about how bad they're treating you and how they're robbing you, be aware that they can sue you for it.

ETA: I can't remember what the legal term is, sux posting at 2:30, grammar, terminology and spelling all goes to crap.

It's not being dishonest if the client fails to read the contract he or she signs. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Too lazy to comment on the rest of your post but that one line is a myth. Customers are not always right and you pay them because you're bound by contract to do so.

What you may consider bad service may be listed in the contract under the terms and conditions. Take TMNet for example, if you subscribe for a 2mbps streamyx package and only get 1/4 of the bandwith you should be getting, they're still living up to their end of the deal as their service is "at best effort".

So no, the customer isn't always right and what is/isn't good service isn't up to you to decide if it's already stated in the contract.

See that's the thing, we need to see the contract to argue this. If the contract itself does not say that they have to provide you clean towels, it's not a breach of contract if they provide you dirty ones. If it's not even in the contract, it's a freebie.

This is ofcourse speculation on my end as I've never been a member in a comercial gym. Maybe if someone could post a copy of their contract for us to disect we could better understand the subject matter.
