Powerhouse Gym Under Investigation

The Attorney General's office is now investigating Nazareth's Powerhouse Gym which was formerly located at the Giant Shopping Plaza at 191 & 248 according to an article in the Morning Call (read it here).

The article notes:

The lawsuit against Powerhouse alleges the new gym is not ''comparable'' to the old one, and is seeking refunds for 146 members. The lawsuit alleges the gym failed to post a bond or letter of credit to guarantee the long-term, prepaid memberships.

Having personally spoken to a few members who attempted to get out when the location initially changed from Nazareth to Bethlehem Township, the management wasn't agreeable at all to cancellations.

Now, according to the owner, the gym is doing everything it can to cooperate with disgruntled members.

I'd imagine there are many more members that the AG's office is aware of that have been penalized with cancellation fees or were told they could not get out of their contract, these individuals should contact the PA Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
