What to do if I registered for 10 sessions at a fitness center but now due to dental issues want to cancel?
The 10 sessions cost $650; I initially oaid $260 and took 3 classes. After that I have some dental issues and wanted to cancel the sessions. They are saying I can’t cancel it. I read the agreement, it says it can be cancelled before a legally recognizable number of days. Medical reasons are considered. I sent a fax from my dentist but still they refuse to cancel. They have been harassing me. How can I get rid of them?

If you have a medical excuse allowing you to cancel your fitness center classes per the contract that you have and management is still bothering you about paying what it feels is the balance owed, I would do the following:
1. write the fitness center a letter advising it that per the contract that you have with it that you have a medical excuse to cancel the balance of the classes and then wait out the outcome. Keep a copy of the letter sent for future need and reference.
2. if you get sued in small claims court, use the medical excuse per the contract as a defense to the claim against you.
