What is a “Right-to-work-out” law?

A “Right to work out” law would prevent health clubs from forcing people to pay dues or membership fees to use the equipment, services, and facilities. Such laws would require gyms and health clubs to admit everybody, whether or not he or she pays a cent.

In other words, “right to work out” laws would allow everybody to get all the benefits of health club membership absolutely free! How cool is that?
Without a “Right-to-work-out” law, can I be forced to join a health club?



No. Membership is voluntary, like joining a union. Incidentally, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that no collective bargaining agreement can require anyone to join a union, either.

Look, you already have a “Right to work out,” and it works just like when employees don’t want to join a union: You only pay if you go to the club, they charge some fee to non-members who use the club, unless and until we get “Right to work out” laws.
Is a gym required to serve everybody now?

No. As with other services, gyms and health clubs routinely restrict access to only those who pay. In fact, currently in the U.S. only labor unions have any obligation to serve non-members.
