Allegedly, in September 2017, one Plaintiff visited the Gold’s Gym of Aikens, South Carolina and filled out information for a gym guest pass.  The Plaintiff was required to provide her cell phone number.  Despite not consenting to receive text messages from any Gold’s Gym, the Plaintiff received text messages regarding her gym visit and gym promotions from telephone numbers (803) 832-4832 and (803) 648-4653, as well as short codes 522-36 and 873-65.  Another Plaintiff also visited the same gym, was required to provide her cell phone number, and, despite checking a box reflecting that she did not consent to receive text messages from any Gold’s Gym, was sent text messages from (803) 832-4832 and short code 522-36.

According to the first amended complaint, on information and belief, the Gold’s Gym of Aikens, South Carolina; Gold’s Gym of North Augusta, South Carolina; Gold’s Gym of Augusta, Georgia (Bobby Jones Exp.); Gold’s Gym of Augusta, Georgia (Walton Way Ext.); and Gold’s Gym of Evans, Georgia utilize (803) 832-4832 and short codes 522-36 and 873-65 to send bulk text messages to numerous cell phones.
