Who needs no health club registration; membership contract rules in Maine?
Issued by Maine Office of the Attorney General (Unfair Trade Practices Act), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Gyms, fitness centers and studios open with only the general rows above. Since the 2025 amendment, a membership that renews automatically must disclose the cancellation method with the offer and allow the member to cancel the same way they joined, online included; a breach is an unfair trade practice.
