Gym contract cancellation law in Georgia
Georgia sets its own rules for cancelling a gym contract, and they sit in Georgia Code section 10-1-393.2. The state's official consumer protection page quotes the statute: 7 business days to cancel after signing (section 10-1-393.2(e)), or 7 business days after the spa opens for pre-sale contracts (section 10-1-393.2(l)). A contract that leaves out the cancellation date is void and unenforceable under state law. Your signed contract still matters, so read it next to the statute before you send anything.
