Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, gymnasiums, restaurants, parks and other public places that will cause crowds were forced to temporarily close, and the opening time has never been determined. Because there is no business and no income, many gyms that are on the verge of losing money have closed down. Among them, there is an example reflected by the public. He had a fitness card in a gym for five years, but after only two months, the gym closed down. How can he recover the fitness expenses he has paid in advance? As a consumer, how should he safeguard his legitimate rights and interests? Near the entrance of this gym, some members are also victims. They said they hadn't been to the gym several times and found they couldn't go. I can't contact the owner of the gym now, and I don't know if this gym can be opened again.

As consumers, citizens should take up legal weapons and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law, but the methods should not be excessive. You can consult a lawyer and get a happy ending with his professional help. First, you can complain to the Consumers Association at telephone number 123 15. If it is still not solved, we should be good at using legal weapons to safeguard our rights.

According to the provisions of Article 94 of the Contract Law, before the expiration of the performance period, if one of the parties explicitly expresses or shows by his own behavior that he will not perform the principal debt, the parties may terminate the contract. A legally established contract is legally binding on the parties, and the parties shall perform their obligations in accordance with the agreement, and may not modify or terminate the contract without authorization.

Another suggestion is that you should check whether the gym has the ability to continue to exist before applying for gym membership. Before applying for the membership card, you can check the specific situation of the fitness company online in China, and conduct a background check on the fitness company online. You must be cautious about the consumption of advance payment, and the consumption of advance payment should not span too much as far as possible, so as to protect your legitimate rights and interests.
