The 4 -month -old 60 -year -old renewal was rejected, and the gym called "can't play"

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 20 (Trainee reporter Fan Youhan) "What is the age of 60? The retirement life has just begun!" Recently, Mr. Zeng, who lives in Wuchang District, is interested in the common swimming pool. If you do n’t want to renew the card, you do n’t want to be rejected. The swimming shop says that Mr. Zeng is about to be 60 years old. According to their regulations, consumers over 60 years of age cannot renew their cards. Mr. Zeng expressed puzzles through the message board of Wuhan City: "Swimming pool restricts the card by age, is it reasonable? Is there any regulations to follow?"

"I saw that there were more than 85 years old in the field that I did not allow the swimming card. I did not expect that I had encountered it myself. I am still 25 years old!" According to him, in September 2019, Maiou Fitness near his home handled a four -year swimming card with the deadline for September 2023. Since running the card, Mr. Zeng has maintained the habit of swimming three to four times a week. Recently, he heard that the gym had a preferential event. When he thought that his card was about to expire next year, he went to apply for a renewal. After looking at his identity information, the staff said that Mr. Zeng was no longer qualified for renewal.

At noon on September 19th, the reporter came to Maiou's fitness in the MCC Maiyan Building in Yuejiazhong, Wuchang District. The swimming pool in this gym is about 30 meters long and 12 meters wide, divided into 4 lanes. When the reporter arrived, nearly 10 customers in the pool were swimming.

The reporter stated that after coming to the intention, Ms. Mo, the operating manager of the store, said that the gym would buy an ordinary insurance for him when each member runs a card. When something happened, all responsibilities were borne by the gym. Moreover, in recent years, there are a lot of old customers in the swimming pool. In order to avoid disputes, McOC Fitness issued this regulation on March 1 this year.

If the "big -aged customers" purchase accidental damage insurance by themselves, can they renew or get cards in McCani Fitness? Ms. Mo responded: "In case something happened, would you say that his family members would be troublesome?" Without waiting for the reporter to answer, Ms. Mo went on to say, "All will, so we can't afford it."

The reporter interviewed 5 swimming pools in our city. Among them, Qianqian Shi Six Swimming Fitness Sports Museum restricts customers who are not more than 60 years old. The Emperor Sen Swimming Fitness and Xinrong Evergrande Hengda constant temperature swimming fitness requires that customers are not more than 65 years old. At the same time, the staff of the three swimming pool stated that if customers are healthy and are willing to sign the exemption agreement, they are also willing to accept customers who exceed the prescribed age. Smel swimming fitness and any fitness swimming pool have no requirements for customers.

On the morning of the 20th, the reporter called the Wuhan Industry and Commerce Administration Bureau Wuchang Branch on the incident. The staff responded that restricting consumers' age is the self -reliance of merchants. In response, the industrial and commercial administrative department cannot order merchants to rectify.

Chen Liang, a lawyer of Hubei Dianheng Law Firm, believes that the swimming pool is the age of customers, not the reason for the restriction of consumption based on their behavior or physical diseases, which obviously violates the principle of fair consumption and is suspected of discrimination. Customers can complain to the industry and commerce department or prosecute merchants to protect consumer rights through legal channels.
