Membership contracts

Have you ever joined any clubs or fitness centers in Singapore lately?

I would recommend you to read the contractual terms very carefully before joining them.

It is almost certain that there would be some traps in the contract which would make you pay more than what is expected. They may not terminate your membership even after making the request for cancellation. Such cases has been blogged about in Singapore against clubs like California Fitness, True Yoga etc.

A couple of court cases in U.S. which has been won against such clubs (24 Hour Fitness, the parent of California Fitness in Singapore) are cited below:

Search through google about the club you wish to join before making the decision!
