LANSING, Mich. - In a follow up to a series of FOX 17 Problem Solvers reports, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette issued a cease and desist order to Family Fitness, telling the gym to stop its "unlawful practice of misleading members into believing they must make certain monetary payments after they cancelled their gym and personal training contracts."
Schuette says that he advised Family Fitness he is interviewing affected customers and may open a formal investigation or file a suit against the chain.
FOX 17 Problem Solver Darren Cunningham filed several reports from affected people in June and forwarded dozens of emailed complaints directly to the AG's office.
Consumers may file a complaint online by emailing miag@michigan.gov.
