The Department of Justice on Oct. 8 filed suit against LA Fitness, alleging that the company’s facilities don’t properly accommodate disabled people.
U.S. prosecutors say Fitness International, which does business as LA Fitness, is not complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The federal law bars discrimination against the disabled and requires businesses to “make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, when such modifications are necessary to afford such goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to individuals with disabilities.”
