Before accepting the service, the consumer can request to cancel the contract and the gym will refund the corresponding service fee. When consumers apply for a card, if they find that the merchant does not return the card, they can raise it with the merchant and negotiate with the merchant according to relevant laws and regulations. If negotiation fails, you can appeal to the administrative department for industry and commerce or the consumer association to avoid damage to your legitimate rights and interests.

When handling the fitness card, you must have informed the relevant regulations in advance, such as whether the card can be returned, whether it can be transferred, and the rights and obligations of both parties. If the regulations do not say that the card cannot be returned, you can complain to the merchant. If you don't say you can't turn, then turn. If it is stipulated that the card cannot be returned or transferred,
