From Checkpoint, 4:47 pm on 9 September 2025

The Commerce Commision is taking New Zealand's largest gym chain, City Fitness Group, to court over its contracts. It claims the advertised membership prices were misleading and didn't include a compulsory 3% fee that was dubbed a "transaction fee". City Fitness is facing 16 charges under the Fair Trading Act.
