A gym or studio selling memberships needs no state license, but every membership contract must follow 325G.24: a written contract with the cancellation rights the statute lists, including a right to cancel within three business days and when the member moves away or becomes disabled, with refunds on the statute’s terms. The Attorney General enforces the chapter and the city may still require a general license.
