Oh dip, I missed this entirely. Only saw the Federal news and thought, "Maybe again in four more years."

Now I might sign up for the local gym that opened up, knowing they cannot jerk me around when I want to leave.

Tip to others that may have this issue: If you need to cancel Planet Fitness (may work for other national gyms), move your home gym to a location in California and an option to cancel online appears.

Or just start charging back their fees

That does not absolve the debt. From their perspective, you are refusing to pay, and they are entitled to send you to collections.
