I joined this gym twice. I kick myself for making two mistakes.
The first time it was alright. I paid $40 a month and it was worth it. I was going in the morning because I worked nights.
The second go-round I had to go in the evenings after class and a 9-5 job and it was always packed. My rate constantly hiked up and they charged me a fee upon the New Year without any notification and without having the membership for a full year. I told them that I refused to pay this and to cancel immediately. They "lost" the cancellation form I signed therefore refusing to refund me come February when they were STILL charging me $50+/month.
The billing department was rude and a complete nightmare. I went in and spoke with them several times and it was never resolved. Keep in mind I didn't work out from the moment I received that e-mail that they charged me an extra fee just because, so I spent $100 on two months just trying to cancel.
When I finally worked things out, I continued getting e-mails. 4-5 a week is just too much! I asked to be unsubscribed almost two years ago, called management to take me off, told them to delete all of my information and to this day I STILL get marketing e-mails. They're the worst. They have multiple ways to get around your junk folder, trust me.
