That's weak.
New Yorkers ripped state Attorney General Letitia James' online boast about her crackdown on Equinox gyms.
James — who is facing a criminal probe of her own — got hundreds of nasty remarks after posting on social media about the $600,000 fine she levied on the gym chain for making it too tough for customers to cancel their memberships.
'New Yorkers should never have to break a sweat when they cancel a gym membership,' James' office wrote in a May 30 Facebook post.
But New Yorkers were not impressed.
'Nice to see NY representatives are focused on the important stuff,' quipped commenter Cynthia Schieber Weiss.
'This is what progressives focus on. Minutia,' wrote Matt Ziccardi.
Only customers who'd previously filed formal complaints will get refunds, up to $250 apiece, less than a single month's membership at the swanky gym.
'Really helping out there,' mocked Facebook user Eric Smith.
'You need to be worried about the investigation going on against you as we speak,' posted another.
'Will you be working out in the prison yard?' snarked Jerry West.
A spokesperson for Equinox told The Post it made changes to its membership last year and is now in 'full compliance' with the law.
The company didn't answer when asked if that meant people could now cancel their memberships any time without penalty.
James' office did not respond to The Post's request for comment.
