New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the New York Sports Club and Lucille Roberts gym chains for charging dues to members for facilities that remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic and failing to honor cancellation requests.
James filed suit Wednesday in state court in Manhattan against Town Sports International Holdings Inc., which owns both chains. The attorney general is seeking a court order blocking the company for charging for shuttered facilities or canceled memberships.
