The Indiana Legislature has introduced IN HB 1627, a bill that would require fitness facilities to prominently feature the “total price” when advertising, displaying, or offering pricing information for goods or services.

Why It Matters

• Last year, HFA successfully secured an exemption for the fitness industry from the FTC Junk Fee Rule, meaning facilities are not required to advertise a “total price” at the federal level.
• HB 1627 would override this exemption in Indiana, contradicting federal rulemaking and creating confusion and compliance challenges for businesses.
• Fitness facility pricing is dynamic and individualized, including monthly access fees, personal training, spa treatments, specialty classes, and retail items. Requiring a “total price” is impractical and limits pricing flexibility for both businesses and consumers.

What We’re Doing

HFA is actively engaging with Indiana lawmakers to seek an exemption for the fitness industry from HB 1627 before the bill moves forward.
