Urban Active class action settlement

Global Fitness Holdings LLC (formerly known as Urban Active Fitness) has reached a class action settlement that would resolve allegations that the fitness company engaged in deceptive conduct regarding its membership fees and cancellation policies. If you signed a gym membership or personal training contract with Urban Active between January 1, 2006, and October 26, 2012, you may be eligible to receive monetary compensation.

According to the class action lawsuit (Amber Gascho, et al. v. Global Fitness Holdings LLC), the fitness company failed to disclose all fees and costs associated with membership, misrepresented the terms of its contracts, failed to honor valid cancellation notices and adopted multiple cancellation policies that violated its contracts and confused members seeking to cancel their memberships.
Urban Active has denied any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the burden and expense of litigation.

Claim Forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than December 30, 2013. Detailed claims filing instructions are provided below.

A fairness hearing for the Urban Active Fitness Class Action Settlement has been scheduled for February 13, 2014.

The case is Amber Gascho, et al. v. Global Fitness Holdings LLC, Case No. 2:11-cv-00436-GCS-NMK, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division (Columbus).
