A comprehensive review of gym contracts found unfair provisions that penalised consumers while maximising gains for the clubs. The gyms in question have responded well to the review and have already started toning the language in the contracts, the Commerce Commission said. Ms Rawlings said the commission was "particularly pleased" to see gyms amending their termination clauses and associated fees. The commission has sent advice letters to all the gyms involved and advised other gyms to review the findings and lift their game.
