Action taken against several Kentucky Fitness Centers Fitness centers in Kentucky must register with the Kentucky Attorney General's office. . . Besides fitness centers, Beshear's office oversees cemeteries, funeral homes, crematories, professional solicitors, debt adjusters, fundraising consultants and charitable organizations Click on headline for complete story By Terry Sebastian or Crystal Staley News from Attorney General Steve Beshear's Office FRANKFORT, KY - (10 May 2017) - Attorney General Andy Beshear announced today that his office is better protecting Kentuckians by holding several fitness centers in Kentucky accountable for failing to properly register with his office. By law, fitness centers or gyms, spelled out in statute as "health spas," are required to file an annual registration statement with the Office of the Attorney General, and post a bond, if they charge an initiation fee or have pre-paid memberships. Each bond amount is based on the number of memberships. "Our regulatory oversight of fitness centers is important because they are located in almost every community across the state and often operate off of long-term membership fees," Beshear said. "While the majority of fitness centers follow the law, there are those my office must seek civil penalties against for violating regulations." Beshear said the requirement for fitness centers to register with his office is critical to ensure that they do not just collect money for long-term memberships and then close shop. In an effort to obtain better compliance with the majority of their Kentucky locations, Beshear said his office corresponds with all of the corporate headquarters of the fitness club franchises. Beshear's office has recently taken action against fitness center in the following cities:
Kentuckians may call Beshear's office at 502-696-5300 to inquire if their fitness center is registered, or complete a complaint form online if they are having problems with their fitness center. Besides fitness centers, Beshear's office oversees cemeteries, funeral homes, crematories, professional solicitors, debt adjusters, fundraising consultants and charitable organizations.
