Refunds and Reduced Fees
The available benefits are very detailed, depending on the individual Class Member’s situation. Consult the settlement website for full details.
Generally, Class Members who submit a Claim Form will be allowed to continue their memberships by paying the annual renewal fee at its initial amount, whether or not their fees have been increased. Those whose fee has increased may get the fee reinstated at its initial amount and may receive a refund for any fee amounts they paid over and above the initial fee amount. Those whose memberships were cancelled after they received notice of a fee increase can get their memberships reinstated at the original fee amount.
Class Members who do not submit a claim form may see their annual renewal fees increased, but 24 Hour Fitness will be restricted in when and how much it can raise those fees. The restrictions vary depending on the type of membership. Those whose fees have already increased may receive a discount on future fees. Those whose memberships were cancelled may be able to reinstate them at a reduced amount.
