Anytime Fitness is being sued in a new Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class action that alleges the company sent unsolicited prerecorded telemarketing voicemails to consumers, including people on the National Do Not Call Registry.

What the lawsuit claims

  • Plaintiff Chet Michael Wilson alleges Anytime Fitness Franchisor LLC and an Oregon franchise location placed telemarketing calls to his cell number in December 2025 without his consent.

  • The calls allegedly used an artificial or prerecorded voice and were made even though his number was registered on the National Do Not Call Registry.

Details about the voicemails

  • The calls allegedly resulted in voicemail messages inviting Wilson to visit an Anytime Fitness club, take a tour, and schedule an appointment with a manager.

  • The complaint says the messages were uniform in tone and content, lacked natural human inflection, and were delivered in an automated manner consistent with prerecorded voice technology.

Alleged TCPA violations

  • The lawsuit asserts that using an artificial or prerecorded voice to place non‑emergency telemarketing calls without prior express consent violates the TCPA.

  • Wilson seeks to represent nationwide classes of consumers who (1) received at least two telemarketing calls in a 12‑month period while on the Do Not Call Registry, and/or (2) received at least one call using an artificial or prerecorded voice in a 12‑month period.

Harm and relief requested

  • The complaint claims the calls caused actual harm, including invasion of privacy, intrusion into daily life, and a private nuisance.

  • The suit requests a jury trial, declaratory and injunctive relief to stop the practices, and statutory damages for Wilson and the putative class members under the TCPA.

Case status and identification

  • The case is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon and is captioned Wilson v. Anytime Fitness Franchisor LLC, et al., Case No. 6:26‑cv‑00019.

  • As of the January 12, 2026 report describing the filing, the lawsuit is at an early stage and no settlement or judgment has been reported.
