| - I signed up with a 30 days free coupon on March 9. They offered to convert the coupon to first month free of an ongoing membership, and I agreed. Due to unfoseen circumstances, I was not able to complete, and my membership terminated June 13. Here is a list of the charges I endured over this time:
March 9: $67.20 Apr 19 $30.45 May 3 $30.45 May 10 $156.45 May 17 $30.45
TOTAL $315.00 , considering my first 30 days were free with my coupon, I paid $315.00 for 9 1/2 weeks, averaging over $100 a month or $66 bi-weekly.their marketing of a $24 bi-weekly pricepoint is misleading as there are set-upcharges, and cancellation charges. When I complained about the charges they waved the contract in my face. The whole concept of contract is old-school and the industry needs to change.
About the Gym: Clean enough, and they have done some significant renovation over the summer, especially in the change rooms. Cardio equipment is new, but it's all the same brand (not much choice). I was given two free training sessions with my coupon, not something I wanted or even asked for. The trainer I was assigned focused his time on selling me on the benefits of ongoing training, as opposed to developing a program for me and teaching me how to use the equipment. The assistant manager Amy stepped in and gave me some proper training. I was also happy with the sales rep Sara. But now that I have been snake bitten by a health club contract, I will be twice as shy about joining a gym where I have to sign anything.
Subsequent to writing this review, World Health extended to me a free membership for a limited amount of time. I've since moved on, the membership is not that valuable to me, but I appreciate the gesture. For this I have increased my overall rating from two stars to three.
