Bill > S08015

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to exempt multi-service health clubs from existing regulations that limit service contract payments to $3,600 per year. Specifically, the bill defines a "multi-service health club" as a New York-based health club or gym that offers at least three of the following amenities: digital platform services like on-demand classes, individualized training, fitness instructor training, spa treatments, co-working space, childcare, recurring group fitness classes, sports programming, enhanced locker room facilities, swimming pools, and on-site food and beverage services. Under the current law, service contracts were restricted from charging more than $3,600 annually, but this bill creates a specific carve-out for multi-service health clubs, allowing them to charge beyond that previous limit. This change essentially gives more pricing flexibility to comprehensive health and fitness facilities that offer a wide range of services and amenities, recognizing that their broader offerings may justify higher annual membership costs.
