Bill Title: Amends the Physical Fitness Services Act. Provides that no contract for basic physical fitness services shall require payment of a total amount in excess of $6,500 (rather than $2500) per year, with certain exceptions; and that no contract for family or couple memberships for basic physical fitness services shall require payment in excess of $6,500 (rather than $2,500) per year per person covered under the membership. In a provision permitting a person to renew a contract for physical fitness services for consecutive periods of not more than one year each, removes the requirement that each renewal be for a reasonable consideration not less than 10% of the cash price of the original membership. Effective June 1, 2018.

| initial term of services to be rendered under the contract may |
| not extend over a period of more than one year |
| date the parties enter into the contract; provided that the |
| customer may be given an option to renew the contract for |
| consecutive periods of not more than one year each for a |
| reasonable consideration not less than 10% of the cash price of |
| the original membership. |
| (d) No contract for physical fitness services shall require |
| or entail the execution of any note by the customer which, when |
| separately negotiated, will cut off as to third parties any |
| right of action or defense which the customer may have against |
| the physical fitness center. No right of action or defense |
| arising out of a contract for physical fitness services which |
| the customer has against the center shall be cut off by |
| assignment of the contract whether or not the assignee acquires |
| the contract in good faith and for value. Such an assignee is |
| not a holder in due course. |
