  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 5, 2015Poulos LoPiccolo and The Wolf Law Firm Settles Membership Dues Class Action Against Work Out WorldValued at Over $7 Million;Class Members to be Compensated This WeekOn December 22, 2014, Judge LeBlon of the New Jersey Superior Court in Middlesex County granted final approval to a class action settlement brought against Work Out World (“WOW”) for alleged violations of several of New Jersey’s consumer protection laws including the Health Club Services Act (“HCSA”), the Consumer Fraud Act (“CFA”), and the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Notice and Warranty Act (“TCCWNA”).The Wolf Law Firm and Poulos LoPiccolo filed a class action complaint in May 2013 on behalf of individuals that were victims of WOW’s alleged practice of charging New Jersey customers for additional membership dues after they cancelled their membership contracts. After intense and prolonged negotiations, as part of the settlement, this week over 57,000 members or former members of WOW will automatically receive a settlement check in the amount of approximately $50.00 as well as two (2) freely transferrable 30-Day VIP Guest Passes that can be used at any WOW location.The settlement applies to all members or former members of WOW that signed up for WOW membership on or after May 24, 2007 and cancelled their membership in writing within the last thirty (30) days of their initial membership period or later and were charged membership dues for any subsequent month(s) whether or not they used a WOW facility during the last month(s) for which they paid. As part of the settlement, WOW will amend their cancellation policy to fully comply with the New Jersey consumer protection statutes and regulations by no later than 30 days after the Effective Date, and that they will inform all current members of the revised cancellation policy.John Poulos of Poulos LoPiccolo PC, Co-Lead Class Counsel, commented, “we are very happy that WOW did the right thing here and not only agreed to compensate those that were wrongly charged fees, but also agreed to amend their contracts for the benefit of current and future WOW customers.” Andrew Wolf of The Wolf Law Firm, Co-Lead Class Counsel, stated, “members of the class are going to receive a check in an amount equal to almost two months’ worth of membership dues – that is a great result.”The case is Caruso and Brady v. Work Out World, et al., Docket No. MID-L-3112-13. Additional information can be found at the WOW settlement website at www.wowsettlement.com.
