CityFitness Caught Deceiving Members

CityFitness got nailed for hiding a sneaky $3 fee that turned their $6.99 weekly gym ads into a cash grab — netting them $1.6 million while misleading customers into thinking they were getting a bargain. The Commerce Commission exposed how execs knew they needed to hike prices but chose deception over honesty, using “transaction fee” as a smokescreen. The court called it a blatant breach of fair trading, and CityFitness pleaded guilty to eight charges. Bottom line: Don’t play games with pricing — consumers deserve the truth.
