- I joined Holiday Health Spa for 2 years and signed a similar contract.
- However, I read the entire contract there in the salesperson's office
- before signing it. She later became one of my best friends and told
- me I was the ONLY person she had ever known to actually read the
- contract. Well, at least I knew what I was getting into and I knew
- I couldn't get out of it. Good luck.
