While the use of gyms is increasing due to the relaxation of social distancing, consumer damage related to gyms is increasing.
According to the Korea Consumer Agency, the total number of applications for damage relief related to gyms received from 2019 to 2021 is increasing every year to 8,218, and among them, 92.4% of the total number of damages related to excessive penalty claims or refusal to cancel contracts. .
In particular, he added that the number of damages related to PT use contracts was 2,440, which is increasing by more than 40% every year.
The Consumer Agency has the advantage of a high discount rate for long-term contracts, but cautioned that caution is needed as there are many cases where excessive penalties are required for mid-term cancellation.
