That’s weak.
New Yorkers ripped state Attorney General Letitia James’ online boast about her crackdown on Equinox gyms.
James — who is facing a criminal probe of her own — got hundreds of nasty remarks after posting on social media about the $600,000 fine she levied on the gym chain for making it too tough for customers to cancel their memberships.
“New Yorkers should never have to break a sweat when they cancel a gym membership,” James’ office wrote in a May 30 Facebook post.
But New Yorkers were not impressed.
“Nice to see NY representatives are focused on the important stuff,” quipped commenter Cynthia Schieber Weiss.
“This is what progressives focus on. Minutia,” wrote Matt Ziccardi.
Only customers who’d previously filed formal complaints will get refunds, up to $250 apiece, less than a single month’s membership at the swanky gym.
“Really helping out there,” mocked Facebook user Eric Smith.
“You need to be worried about the investigation going on against you as we speak,” posted another.
“Will you be working out in the prison yard?” snarked Jerry West.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Gym
The POLICE STATE of New York has ALWAYS seen this approach of “fining” as a revenue stream, NOT justice.
I noticed that she’s got an ad running on YouTube that shows up periodically on channel subscriptions. I only listened to her first words “They’re attacking me again...” before hitting the “skip” button. Probably begging for money.
Did they actually break a law.
I’ve also seen that pop-up ad and her face is horrifying. There should be a warning.
I’m no fan. But, I’ll give her possible credit on this on.
I don’t know the specific details regarding this particular chain of gyms.
However, I’ve been an active member of many different gyms over many years. Some make it extraordinarily difficult to cancel membership. Criminal? I don’t know but it is abusive to customers.
Will the judge be pleased with this decision of Leticia James?
DON’T EAT YELLOW SNOW

Well done. 😄

Yes. Canceling Gym membership is an ordeal!
So are some on-line business enterprises.
Once they get you in, there is almost no way out!
That why, I try to avoid any and all “continuous service” business.
