Binda v. Edge Fitness LLC
Docket No: 26-1351 (U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania)
Counsel: Manali Arora, Matthew Miller
On January 22, 2026, Personal Trainers Joseph Binda and Lakisia Webster (“Plaintiffs”) filed a Class Action Lawsuit alleging Edge Fitness failed to pay them and other hourly employees all overtime wages earned. Plaintiffs allege that Edge Fitness rounded their clock-in and clock-out times in a manner that cost them paid overtime wages.
For example, Plaintiffs allege that if they clocked in at 8:55am, Edge Fitness rounded their time to 9:00am, costing them 5 paid minutes. By way of another example, Plaintiffs allege that if they clocked out at 5:06pm, Edge Fitness rounded their time down to 5:00pm, costing them 6 paid minutes.
Plaintiffs seek to recover all overtime wages owed plus additional damages available under federal and state law. For example, Plaintiffs seek to recover double their owed overtime wages under federal law.
