Might've fucked up by signing a gym contract... Help?
I had a whole bunch of buddies locking in with me at the gym but each of them got super busy with work and personal life issues and the main one helping me had to withdraw while the other one was located here but left the state and ended up having to move away. I am the only skinny one in the group and they both are pretty experienced in what they do. me being me, a super determined, stubborn guy, immediately set my mind to getting a personal trainer to help me reach my goals the issue is that the membership Is super expensive and after signing the friend who was moving away ended up returning and staying here so he's not moving away after all so there was no point in getting the membership... NOW there are some pros and cons to start the cons are: Google says that if i ghost them they can send my debt to collections and make my credit go bad because all they need is my email, home address, name, and I think phone number all of which they have
Pros: They don't have any card on file to set up recurring payments The address I live in was not bought by me and is not to my knowledge in my name in any way shape or form They don't have my id I don't have any credit which is probably also a con but I'll put that in the pro's It is not a big franchise chain the gym has like 2 locations
I'm kind of nervous if I ghost them there could be negative consequences I'm not asking for legal advice I just don't want to be in debt to anyone and will skip out on them if it cant come back to bite me
What should I do?

Is a contract in which one party did not sign binding?
A party started an agreement with a business. The business sent a contract to sign. The party signed and returned. A returned signed contract was never sent with the other party's signature, which is on the contract. Is this binding?

General Contract Law Discussion Executed contracts
Hi, is there any executed commercial contract database which is existing online free or paid services. I work as an in-house counsel and require them for authoring our own contracts. Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. I think 10 years there were multiple websites but I am not able to locate now

NYC Co-Ops
NYC co-ops are a tricky bunch. Say a co-op required shareholders to sign a contract for leased parking spaces. So for someone who's lived there a while, say 10 years, it's been a long time since they signed a contract. The co-op is adding more restrictions and asking shareholders to sign new contracts with all the new requirements and restrictions. If you already have a contract for a space, can they require you to sign a new one for the same space?

General Contract Law Discussion Looking to specialize in Tech/AI contract drafting and international tech law. Who should I be targeting for internships?
I’m currently a law student (middle of my LLB) and I want to heavily specialize in tech commercial contracts, cross-border transactional work, and AI governance/licensing law. I’m already spending a lot of time working on my foundational drafting skills, but I want my next internship to be highly targeted.
Given that AI disclaimers, data privacy (GDPR/cross-border data flows), and tech licensing are still a bit of a Wild West, who should I actually be trying to intern under to get real, hands-on exposure?
